Isn't it great when HRT works - I am now having nightmares that it will be taken away from me. Good to have your feedback - always helpful on MM.
I have just started using Oestrogel with Utrogestan on sequential basis and I would like to ask more about your HRT regime?  If you don't want to share this info I quite understand.  You could PM me privately if you don't want to share things on this site.
Are you taking the Utrogestan continuously or sequentially? If sequentially, how many days each month do you take the Utrogestan? If you are using it continuously are you getting tender breasts or has this settled?  Will you being having regular scans to check your uterus lining?

HI DG - I am using the Gel and the tablets every day.  I have had my Ovaries removed and I had the lining of my womb removed about 10 years ago due to heavy periods.

No one has said anything at the Menopause clinic about Scans - but will ask at my next appointment.

Just taking one day at a time, I have found that the Testogel has made a great difference to me.

Thank you for the info about your regime.  As you are using the Utrogestan continuously you probably won't need a scan. I assume you are getting the testosterone privately as this isn't available on the NHS unfortunately - many women would like to include this in their regime. Very interesting to hear the Testogel is helping.
I am using Utrogestan cyclically and find my breasts get very tender while I'm using it.  Have you had breast tenderness and if so has this side effect settled down? If I knew this tenderness would settle I would go onto the continuous regime so I'm really interested to know.
It's really good to hear you are doing well on this combination.
