Anyone got anything good to say about HRT? Patches
« on: March 17, 2021, 11:46:06 AM »

I'm getting my Everol Conti patches today. I've read and reread all the info on here about HRT. Sounds like you still get Meno symptoms even when you take HRT anxiety, depressesion, constipation, stomach issues?? I'm just wondering whether they are worth the aggravation, as I know I will freak out if I have a bleed as I haven't had a period since I was 61!
Any advice or should I suck it up and see??
Also should I start with just half a patch and can I use the other half for the next round?
Sorry for all the questions...............

Life has been so much better thanks to my patches which I started 14 years ago aged 53. It depends on what symptoms you are trying to sort out really. My drenching hot sweats went from every 20 minutes to zero within forty eight hours. They made no difference to anxiety or stomach issues but I didn't expect them to. VA was much improved by the end of the initial three months.

I think your question about half patch was answered in another post?  :-\

Perhaps be mindful that most women are perfectly fine on whatever was prescribed but those women get on with their lives and rarely post on here. Here you get the few that do have problems. Good luck, I hope you're one of the lucky ones.
