Hello!
I'm 47 have 3 children (22,17,13). Had mirena for three years - all good until I got hives (coil removed hives gone) Heavy prolonged bleeding prompted a Novasure ablation four years ago ...perfect, only spotting since. The last 2 or 3 years I've had the usual sweats, anxiety, muscle aches, lack-lustre feelings etc so took myself to the doctors 3 times..."are you depressed?" Try ADs - I declined and my 5 mins was up...second GP "I don't like HRT...try ADs" 🙄 I did my homework thanks entirely to this site went a third time and just said "I'd like to try HRT and as someone who has migraine with aura I understand a patch is better". I got what I wanted! I knew it would be evorel sequi which if I don't get on with will be femseven sequi and if that doesn't work maybe patch/gel with a separate progesterone (which I think I'd ultimately like)
Anyway I'm in my fourth week and I am shocked how much better I feel (after 4 days). I was scared of the combi patch but early days and so far so good. Also no headache or migraine this month! How do I know if evorel sequi gives me enough of what I need as these only come in one strength? Is it all just judged by symptom control or age?
