- glad it was helpful!
Re the dosages you mentioned - you can't compare progestogens taken via different methods in terms of dosage.
Kliofem is taken orally and is 1 mg of norethisterone (= 1000 mcg) per day but much of this is lost to digestion. Evorel conti patches contain 11.2 mg norethisterone and which are designed to deliver 170 mcg per day straight into the bloodstream through the skin. One would need to look at the product data to look at the range of systemic levels obtained from each - ie to see which one was actually lower - but even so you may absorb more or less from one method rather than another.
Both preparations are designed to release sufficient progestogen to keep the womb lining thin - for that dose of oestrogen - for the average woman (which of course we are not always!) - or rather probably for most women. This will be based on studies of dosage and measuring endometrial thickness etc.
The best thing to do is to try a different type or a sequential one - and see if you feel any different after 3 months - but do try to resist the suggestion to take ADs - if this is offered - before trying to get the HRT sorted out!
Let us know how you get on with your doc!
