Hello , my gynecologist friend put me on Fem7 sequi patches. Bought them today and will start tomorrow. Who uses it or used it and can tell me a bit about it? I hope to get rid of my anxiety and nervousness . I am also on venlafaxine uped the dose 3 weeks ago to 150mg but think it is too much and the effect is not so great as last time.

Well I don't know. What is the difference? In a German description I have read sequi is for postmenopause women. Now I am confused

Femseven sequi is for peri menopausal women. It has 2 weeks of oestrogen and 2 weeks of oestrogen and progesterone . It will cause a monthly bleed.
Femseven Conti gives you continuous progesterone and oestrogen and no monthly bleed.
Unless the German medication is different.

Hello Dotty, was really confused. So I have just rang my gynecologist friend ( we are really good friends since we went to school together so I can ring him on Saturday evening ) he said conti will be given a little bit later in menopause. Well, trust him and I will try. Let you know if it works.

Well I’m not a doctor but the guidance is that Conti is given when you are 12 months without a period.
Are you happy about starting periods again?

No not really but he told me it could bleed but it doesn't have to. He is not just a gynecologist he is also specialized in hormones ( endocrinologist) . It is all so confusing.

Not all gynaecologists are menopause specialists!
If you look on this website for HRT preparations then you will see which hrts are for post menopause. You can take a sequi preparation post menopause but there is no need to. My GP wouldn’t give me a sequi regime because I’m post menopause. I think the statistics are that 80% of women will bleed on a sequi regime.
How many years post menopause are you? When was your last period?

You definitely fit the criteria for continuous hrt. I wouldn't want to start periods again after 5 years!
But you've got to do what you feel is right.
Good luck x
