Hi di

Iam peri meno and 51 and using hrt patches everol sequi which i find so much better than tablets but finding headaches my problem during the progesterone patches but the reason i went on hrt was  because of the bad heads and migraine as well as the hot sweats and dryness down below my doc said  to give it a go because might be my age anyway have been on these now since feb. i would be interested to know how you get on with the tridestra hrt although i read from the description it was tablets form and  it contains progesterone  but i guess they all have some side effects its just what gives you the least and what you can put up with but as being as we have a few years of this its finding the best one to suit you as every ones different . this is a helpful site and you canalways find someone who has something incommon with.

good luck

Hi Joy,  :) I was on the same patches as you but really struggled with the headaches whilst using them (also found the flushing and night sweats were still around a bit as well). I have the same problem as you, the doctor thinks it the progesterone I am sensitive to. On the Tridestra you only take 14 out of 91 tablets which include progesterone as I mentioned in my last posting...i'm due to take pill forty two ( I think) tomorrow, so have a bit to go yet to see if the headaches come back. I have have occasional headaches since starting Tridestra but no where near as severe as previously and it does suggest (in the information leaflet with the tablets) it is a common side effect in the first few months. Will keep you posted on how the rest of the cycle goes. In the mean time I hope things are manageable for you. Di :love:

 Hi di

i know when i first started on hrt i was a bit apprehensive on starting it  but i use evorel conti patches which are supposed to reduce the side effects do they do patches tridestra  but everyone is different and reacts differentlyto these things so give it agood 3months trial and right down any effects you have  thats what i did then when you go back to your nurse/hrt doc they can see if its worth trying something else or whether it agrees with you i do suffer migraines and headaches and have been on hrt for 2 years i am 52 and think it could be the prog in the hrt but it does help with the flushes/night sweats  and pain down below so i would like to conitnue but do get the headaches i am taking amitriptaline to try to prevent the heads but  still get them i just wish they would stop and really dontknow what else to do so would be interested in how you get on with the hrt your on and see if itmay suit me best of luck

I have recently started Tridestra, about 23 days in, had a few days of absolute agony, started a short but heavy period, saw my doctor, who told me to stop the white tablets and continue with the blue ones and then stop taking them totally until I see the gynae people again next month or so.  I am 54 with a long history of gynae problems, had just about everything aprt from hysterectomy.  I was on decapeptyl injections which worked extremely well, but because it is unlicensed, my old doctor said it was time to come off it, as periods stop at 51 !!  Yeh right.
