Hi - just a quick update as I struggled to find much feedback about Kliovance (and much of what I did find was negative) when I was searching so this might be useful and/or reassuring for someone out there.
I'm now five weeks in and have had no problems whatsoever so far. Phew. I haven't had any return of my previous symptoms (mainly hot flushes/sweats) nor any new ones. Well, I have a few spots around my nose that started with the advent of the perimenopause and they've never really gone away. They're possibly slightly worse but the difference is negligible so if that's related to the Kliovance it's a bit of a non-problem.
I haven't had any breakthrough bleeding, which was a big concern for me. Generally feeling well and not hormonal! I know everyone's different and will react to different types of HRT in a variety of ways but my experience has been good to date.
I almost didn't come back to post because everything is fine and then I realised that's the reason why I struggled to find positive feedback in the first place... If things change, I'll let you know.
Thanks once again for the supportive replies
