I was on evoral conti and loved but but saw a private consultant who suggested evoral 75 testosterone and 5mg noristherone (mg might not be the right unit)

All the lit said 5 norethisterone was too much50 oestrogen was 1 norethisterone so 75 should be 1.5 but it only comes in 5 so....

I've been having bleeding since I changed and after 4 months I asked to go back to 1.5 evoral conti patches

I thought she agreed & she also sent me off for a scan cos of the bleeding - but when I got the prescription it said 1 twice a week

Do inphone back and speak to the pharmacist,  or the gp or can I just but kore from Spain or somewhere?

Hi you can get a mini pill which is norethisterone so you can take  3 of these a day which gives you nearer to the correct dose.

Technically yes, practically no

Apparently that's not normal.hrt (according to my practise)

But evoral conti was fine I just want more of it

[Dotty]

Hi yes it’s off licence so your GP doesn’t have to prescribe.

Hi Katymac

Why did they decide to take you off evorel conti if it was working for you?

[Katymac]

The consultant thought I needed more oestrogen- which I think I do

But I need less progesterone- I reckon the balance in evoral conti suited me so want 75 oestrogen and the appropriate lower amount of progesterone  (bonus as its in a patch and I do t have to remember to take it each day)

Found 6 patches from when they changed me to 75s

Going to use 1.5 and see how I go until I feel brave enough to ring up again
