Hi Taz I understand about the lower dose not working because this happened to me, but like me, you went to the lower dose from a higher dose, and symptoms re-started. Perhaps going onto a lower dose from nothing might do the trick (eg 25 mcg), or be sufficient to alleviate the worst of the symptoms, if this would be easier to be prescribed? Unfortunately for you and for many of us it is the dratted progesterone that is needed, and the whole cycle thing - which is a bit of a bore bleeding in your 60's!!
silverlady I don't think there are long term studies of the ultra low dose estradiol (14 mcg?) and that may be an insufficient dose for many but perhaps would work for a lot of women, and it would be good if something like this was recommended for all women indefinitely -as a baseline perhaps, and those who wanted to stay on a higher dose can do so- I can't find the studies at the moment. I would have thought monitoring of the endometrium would be advisable annually and I think maybe that was the recommendation from reading some while ago?
