Hi all, I am coming to the end of my 3 months supply of Prempak C 0.625mg. I have felt so much better since starting on HRT, but have had some symptoms whilst taking the progesterone tablets in Prempak.
I've had quite heavy bleeding at the end of the tablets, stomach cramps, like bad period pains, and needing to go for a wee more often! I've read up on this, and note that the prog is like a mild directic. Anyway, I need some advice about how to go down the bio-identical route. I would like to try Femoston 1/10 or was wondering if I will need 2/10? I am 46 and have been in peri for about 6 months or so. No hot flushes, but was getting severe PMS and irregular periods, aching back and mood swings. All these have gone since taking Prempak.
Is Femoston available on the NHS, does it have any other names? I feel I have been given Prempak to save money, as I see its cheaper for them to supply. I am worried she won't let me change, is there anything else I can say to help my case? I am not happy with it being made from pregnant mares urine and was wondering whether to mention this, along with my symptoms.
Thanks in advance for your help.
