Advice: Can I increase my HRT in middle of pack?
« on: November 20, 2014, 10:02:14 AM »

Hi everyone

I take 1 mg Climagest but unfortunately my symptoms of hot flashes, itching, tiredness, IBS...and other stuff that's awful has returned. Saw the Doc on Tuesday and she has given me 2 mg Climagest and told to wait until Im finished the pack Im on....I have 9 days left of the White tabs.

Im struggling with these symptoms so can I just stop the 1mg and start the 2mg? 😬😬

Hi yes you can - if you look at the list of HRT preparations on the left, both the 1 mg and the 2 mg contain the same dose of progestogen.
Any reason your doc told you to finish with this packet?
You might find you are a bit out of sync with your packets but if you are happy with this then why not?
Don't forget you may well have a few side effects from doubling the oestrogen but these should settle.

Thanks Huridity...your such good help on here ❤️

Doc just said it might cause a heavy bleed but Im not bothered with that...I just want to reduce some of my symptoms as Im staying home because of them and that's not like me at all. Xx
