I have been taking Fem 1/10 for 3 weeks now 2 weeks on white tablets and one on grey The last couple of days I have felt very PMTish and some anxiety Do you think this could be because my period would be due around now?
Thanks S x

Also developed constipation and bloating! Any ideas? S x

The pms feelings could either be due to the progestogen part of the HRT or if you are peri-menopausal - your own hormones contributing to your symptoms ie your own cycle if you still have one?

Some women get side effects like bloating etc from different components of HRT - could be the progestogen. Not sure about constipation - I'm never quite sure how the different hormones affect digestion!

Hope it will ease soon anyway. You should get a bleed shortly before or just after stopping the second set of tabs ( the combi one) unless your own cycle overrides the HRT?

Hi,
I too am on femeston.
On it ,I feel like i always did in my pre peri days
So okay for most of the month and then about a week before period, anxiety, what i refer to as ‘twitchyness' , insomnia, spots, constipation, grumpyness etc etc
Not sure about my own cycles and overlap etc, i don't think so for me, i think the femeston is ‘dictating' the whole lot.
I like it seems to suit, but i've just upped to 2/10, flushes returned grrr
