Hi ladies
I've not posted very much over the last couple of months (but dipping in for a read from time to time!) as happily things had been going really well.
My backstory is that I am coming up to 49 and well into peri, if not close to "the line"

After 18 months of horrible headaches and nausea, I had a few false starts at HRT and last autumn settled on Femoston 1/10. For 3 months things seemed great but from about Christmas time just gone my headaches returned even on the HRT and life was miserable, with a bit of VA thrown in for good measure.
As we went into Lockdown I knew I had to get myself sorted and it was either stop altogether or change. I took a gamble and tried some Femoston 2/10 that was in the cupboard from a previous attempt; the relief from the headaches was instant. Doc was happy to prescribe me on this and I have been really happy with very little to bother me in terms of symptoms, until the last month or so. What is it with the 3 or 4 month thing when things just stop working???
On this tablet I seem to do better in the progesterone phase! I always thought I was progesterone intolerant because of how my body reacted in the second half of my sequi tablets. Now it seems from as soon as I resume oestrogen only I feel rough as a badgers backside, period itself is a doddle as in normal bleeds but headaches are back (albeit milder and nowhere near as frequent) and I think this time it's the nausea. Oh, and the complete and utter intolerance of anyone!!

I'm so angry all the time.
Does anyone have any suggestions at all as to what may be happening? Of course I do realise I'm going to have to try and see my GP again, especially if I need to change regime.
I should throw in here that I tried patches and utrogestan between two attempts at Femoston 1/10. I found them quite strong but then maybe I actually needed it and didn't give my body enough time??
I seriously don't want to go back to having daily headaches and feeling like rubbish...I felt like I've had my life back these last months and have even started exercising which I adore. I'm terrified of being miserable with it all again
