Can I have some advice fro you lovely ladies please. Bit the bullet and went to drs for HRT 2 months ago. I have suffered really bad with all the symptoms of meno for about 6 years and have tried everything else, even a magnet in my pants.
I was given elleste duet 1mg, when I got home and read about it, it said if your over weight BMI high you should not take hrt in tablet form because of blood clots...Any way i have taken it for 2 months. mood anxiety depression all improved....but gave me indigestion quite bad, a bit sickly feeling to start with but then the worst period I've ever had. Carried on into month 2 but when I started the green tablets again came anxiety really bad, stomach cramps just felt rubbish. So before I came to the end of that month I went back to the Drs.
This time I have been given patches evorel Conti. But once again came home read up on them it says only for ladies who haven't had a period for 18 months......This is not me I haven't had a proper period for about 2 years but used to have a bit of discharge every now and then and pmt still.
Probably 2 periods in 2 years. Any way I finished the pack of elleste and have had another really bad period, it was getting that bad with the amount of blood and cramps I didn't mo if I should ring the drs, but I've got through that and I am having my 7 day break before starting the patches.
Todays the day the patch goes on and it can't come soon enough, I have horrible panic, anxiety dizziness etc. Since Saturday didn't think in just two months on HRT and then a break would make me feel so bad.
Has anyone got any good news stories that it will all be ok In the end because I can't see any light at the moment.
Could someone please tell me also if I am on the right patch,,,,I am 51 . It's just a mine field...First Dr said I had to try the tablets because they are the cheaper ones....Second Dr said that was rubbish and it was up to me...some HELP PLEASE X
