Thanks everyone for advice on this, i really appreciate it. x My Dr appt went along the lines of....maybe you are post menopausal and over the worse so maybe you dont need HRT. So off i went empty handed. Well that went down terribly. Night sweats were unbelievable, no sleep since. I feel like a zombie. So rang surgery last week and asked who was best equipped to handle my problems. I got told nobody specifically so probably best to see same gp as one that advised having a break. I have been put on Elleste duet conti 2mg. As i have explained b4 i was really exhausted and just grateful to have any hrt at this point. Now 5 days down the line & a couple of hours more sleep ( combinded with using some annual leave to rest) i have just realised i have been given a constant dose of the pills i originally said wasn't agreeing with me. I could scream. I have now made an appt with the head Dr at surgery for Thursday and if i'm being honest i dont know what to say to him re my progesterone intolerance? I'm sorry if this sounds like i'm not doing my homework but i really am not understanding the concept of hrt and hormones, i find it very confusing. Any advice? So this is my plan and please feel free to tell me different. .... Ask dr why if i wasnt agreeing with the prog for half a month why having them for a whole month seems like a good option? Can i try patches? Can you please test my thyroid? And finally any chance of being referred to someone who knows about this if you dont? Does this sound right? Thanks in advance. P>S Dear DHT i hope you coping better than i am, lol. x
