It has been a long time since I last posted, But I do pop in frequently to keep up with the posts and excellent support and advice given. Can Anyone offer Me some advice regarding the following problems, including whether another type of HRT might be more suitable.
I AM 51. Have been on HRT for 2 and half years, Started on Prempak C, Then Elleste duet and finally Femosten Originally 2/10 then after 6 months 1/10. The reasons for stopping the first two was because of severe side effects during the Progesterone part of the HRT. Things have gone well with the Femosten so much so that I decided I felt good enough late last Year to wean Myself off HRT altogether. I did it really slowly, Halving, then alternate days etc and had no ill effects so stopped completely in Febuary 2014. All seemed ok then All the symptoms came back with a vengeance! I restarted the Femosten 1/10 in April But have had problems ever since. It took over 2 months to stop the flushes this time and My periods have become extremely erratic and the past 8 weeks have been non stop bleeding Not ultra heavy but non stop, Excruciating cramps and clots. Last week Doc prescribed Norethisterone 5 mg 3 times a day for 2 weeks. The bleeding did stop after the 2nd day, But I developed a Migraine on Day 6 and after 3 days I stopped the Norethisterone as I felt so sick and ill. The bleeding stared again within a day! I have always suffered with Migraines related to My periods But I can not cope with them and Non stop bleeding and pain at the same time!! I am seeing Doc again tomorrow and would like to be armed with some ideas as to How to proceed without having to take the Norethisterone again. Has Anyone any ideas what May Help! I am a full time carer for My Hubby with Mental Health Problems and I can not function feeling so tired and in pain all the time. Thank You Everyone.
