Hi, nice to hear someone has same questions as me! I am 63 and went to Meno clinic near me last Monday after my GP said no.....so have also just started (day 6 today) on 2 pumps of Estrogel and Urogestan 100mg (orally) every night. This seems to be a standard dose and how do you know if it suits you and how long do you give it??
I have not had HRT since 2012 (2 years after periods stopped) when I was on Indivina for a year and it was great.... then the GP at the time said I had to come off it, as shouldn't be on it for long. Wish I'd have stayed on it for longer knowing what I know now and all the nasty symptoms that have never gone away. One of the unlucky ones...
BUT my hot flushes seem to have got worse since I started the new regime and feel a bit weird, dizzy and tired with aches in pelvic floor and tender labia, also palpitations. Some other nice ladies on here have suggested to give it 3 months and can take the Urogestan internally? The Dr at the Meno clinic never mentioned that?
I am hoping for a miracle when I can get my joie de vivre back!!
Hope you find it helps you and good luck with it!
