Hi ladies
I'm new to posting and looking for some guidance on hrt. I'm 8 weeks into combined conti, elleste duo 2mg. I've tried for four years (am 2 years since last period) to manage hot flushes, lack of sleep, no energy etc and finally gave in and accepted a prescription from my GP. The first two weeks were great, I felt so much better, flushes gone, sleeping better, more energy. I though I'd cracked it! Then slowly I started to notice sore and swollen breasts, mood fluctuation and today have had a tiny bit of breakthrough bleed.
Is it the progesterone?
I've got a GP appt on Friday and am thinking to ask for a change of tablet or maybe patches?
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
