Ready to try again with HRT

<< < (2/2)

Hurdity:
Don't expect any side effects! That's the best strategy! It is the best tolerated progestogen and most are fine with it - just a few women who are progesterone intolerant even of the bio-identical types! The one is Prempak is nothing like our own.

Here is the info from this site:

 PERI-MENOPAUSAL SEQUENTIAL COMBINED THERAPY

Used in women with an intact uterus (womb) who are not yet postmenopausal, i.e. have some periods due to continuing ovarian function. Products contain daily estrogen and cyclical progestogen.
Progestogens which can be used cyclically are of 3 main types:

    Testosterone derived - Norgestrel, Norethisterone acetate and Levonorgestrel.
    Less testosterone related - Medroxyprogesterone acetate(MPA).
    Least testosterone related - Dydrogesterone and Micronised progesterone (Utrogestan).

Side effects are often experienced during the progestogen phase of treatment and can be reduced by using a product containing a different type or route of progestogen.

I'm sure you will not be worse off than taking nothing - in fact this would be true for most women - but everyone needs the patience to experiment and go back to your doc until you find one that works for you :)
