Afternoon ladies
I just started Elleste Duet Conti two and a half months ago. Continuing side effects are horrendously painful boobs and upset digestive system - lurching between constipation and a dire rear. I'm going to the doctors on Friday and was going to ask for Evorel Conti patch, to by pass digestive system.
However, I think I am now starting to notice signs of depression (nothing major at the moment, but I'm very worried). I was very badly affected in this way back in the 80s when I was on a POP- but I can't remember its name, so can't check the progestin culprit. Obviously the dose in a POP would be much greater than in HRT, so the same one, I reasoned, might not even effect me at all now. Because of this though, I don't really want to go chopping and changing too much - I'm not looking to find it again!
So, I was wondering if any of you ladies have different experiences of the same HRT recipe taken in different ways - IE pills vs patches and vice versa. Trying to see if I should continue down this combo or move on. Sigh.
