Hi ladies

Just out of interest, how did it take before your flushes topped when you first started taking hrt?

I'm on estradot 25, admittedly only just coming up 3 weeks. My flushes are not quite so intense but still there, thinking of upping patches if they don't go soon. Really makes my working life very difficult, especially at client meetings Started on very low dose but happy to step up if needed.

Really interested to hear about your experiences.

Give it a few more weeks. I was about 4 weeks until they'd gone completely.

Thanks CG Was aiming for around 4 weeks as trying to get away with the 25 dose if I can so that gives me the willpower to continue for a bit!

Although I do have some joint problems and I think you need at least 50 for the hrt to protect your bones, so if I do have to increase won't be a problem for me, just no point in taking more than you need to x

cubagirl meant to ask you, what dose did you start on? xx

Hi
Not sure if in my head but my flushed so much better after only 5 days on hrt! I'm sure it took
Longer last time!

Thanks for replying Sphere2. Wish mine had gone that quickly Am def thinking I may have to increase my dose/patch.

I think I could cope if I wasn't working, but unfortunately needs must and it's really not a good look at client meetings, stresses me out big time and then makes it worse!

Ah well, onwards and upwards.... xx
