Hi everyone,
Thank you for the replies, it is so good to have this forum to gather information, & also it helps a lot, to know that you are not alone with this dreadful menopause!
I am now on day 6 of the Elleste Duo Conti, & so far feeling terrible. My flushes seem to have got worse, but also they are a bit different, I now get a ****ly feeling on my skin whilst having the hot flush, which also seems to last longer. Also had bad headache for the first few days, but that seems to have gone. Indigestion, bloating, & low abdominal ache are a few new symptoms I now have. Could anyone tell me please these are maybe side effects of the Elleste, & has anyone experienced them too? I am going to stick with it, but not sure how long I should have the side effects before I speak to my GP. I have an appointment after first pack of Elleste for a check on how it is going, but if these side effects (if that is what they are) continue or get any worse not sure if I can cope.
After all that moaning and groaning (Sorry), I do have a positive!!! I am getting some sleep now, I still wake up several times with flushes, but there is a massive improvement in the amount of quality sleep I am getting! x
