I've only been on Femoston 2/10 for two days and the sweats have gone.
They went the first night.
The anxiety is greatly reduced.
Early days, yeah. Co-incidence? possibly.
I know these things can take a while to kick in, but if this is the start, then only more good can come.

Thanks to all of you who have helped me with my various menopause queries.

Dandelion - I am delighted you are feeling good.  You have had a rocky early ride but it is now paying dividends.  I'm not surprised it has worked so quickly because you have been on HRT a while now so there will have been a build up in oestrogen and I assume you have just upped the dose that has made the difference.  keep us posted about your progress. Good luck  DG x

Hi Dandelion,

That's great news!  Glad you have found an HRT that works for you! I am trying to find one that works for me right now! Is Femostan a patch? Just curious what works for other woman! I'm on the estradiol patch and have found that it works for the flashes but not foe anxiety or moods!

Hi everyone

Thanks so much it's great to feel good and it's nice to have a dry bra again, lol.

The femoston is a tablet. I take the one for peri-meno women as you take the oestradiol pill for the first two weeks and then the oestradiol and dydrogesterone pill the second two weeks.

What colours are the tablets?

That is good news. I am allergic to the tablets I received which is Prempak. I am seeing my doc tomorrow to change the prescription.

I will ask for Elleste.

But its good to hear I am not the only one feeling so much better since on HRT, if it were not for the rash.

Dandelion is on Femston which comes in sequi and conti combinations and different strengths.
It has a kinder progesterone and I know a few women who do very well on it - could be a good one fro you to try.  DG cx

hi have you had a hysterectomy , many thanks

[Nina]

Glad it's going well dandelion!

Can I ask bread, which strength femoston or elleste are you asking for? Prempak is a medium dose. I wondered if you would start on the higher dose of the new tablet to be an 'equal' for the prempak?

Let us know how you get on!

This is all so confusing to me!!!

Only just registered onto here but finding lots of helpful tips. Dr diagnosed low oestrogen levels, I was having anxiety attacks and my heart was racing. Previously had a breakdown so thought I was having another after a very stressful year. Been prescribed prempak but as still having periods every 23 days I've got to wait til next period to start. Am I being a "normal" peri woman. I'm 47

Hello
I've just been moved from Evorel Sequi patches onto the Femoston tablets 2/10 due to progestorene intolerance so really good to hear of positive stories

[Dandelion]

Hi

Well, I woke up this morning and was a little bit sweaty and hot.
Is this normal, given that I have only changed over from low dose femoston to higher dose four days ago?

Thanks

[Dancinggirl]

Dandelion - try not to worry - you can get hot and bit sweaty for all kinds of reasons e.g. a virus, a bad dream or just hot because the weather is mild. I sleep with my central heating off so I am more comfortable but the heating kicks in quite strongly at around 7am and I often wake feeling hot and bothered.  Incidentally what time of day do you normally take your HRT?

Mamakaren - dipping into posts without knowing the background can sometimes be confusing.  Dandelion started on MM site a few months ago with many questions and worries about HRT and with this current post she is updating us on her progress - which is great.

Tinker2011 - Hi and Welcome to MM.   It's very normal to be peri meno at 47 and to start some form of HRT. You've been given one of the old type HRTs which many women are very happy with - so give it a try.  It is low dose which at this stage is probably best. You may find you get fluctuations in symptoms as your own hormones are still working to a certain degree. You may also find the progesterone part of this particular HRT a bit challenging as PMT is quite common with Prempac - if after couple of months you are not happy it may well be worth trying low dose Femiston as it has a different progesterone type.  If you need help then do get back to us with your own thread with questions and worries  - we are all here to support you. 

anna123  - I know a couple of ladies on Femiston who are very happy - the progesterone in kinder and better tolerated.
Good luck everyone.  DG x
