Yes, definitely try it. I was on it and the prog was fine. There are a high proportion of ladies on this forum with particular problems with meno, the many who are happy with there HRT are less likely to post. The chances are you will be fine, if not you can ask to change.

Hi Boombod
As sheila99 said! It wouldn't be still on the market if sufficient women didn't get on with it as it wouldn't be commercially viable!
How old are you and what have your periods been doing reently ie cycle length? If they are pretty irregular and you are well into peri then you should now get a regular monthly bleed and if you have sweats and flushes then hopefully these will disappear, along with other symptoms.
Good luck and let us know how you get on!

Hi there! Give them a try! I am on the patch and progesterone pill. Tolerating pretty well. I have been pretty nauseous as I have to take the progesterone continuously. Starting week 4 in a couple days...so kinda early still. My mood has been much better since starting. I have lots of symptoms, so I don't expect everything to be resolved! Best of luck! 😀

Boombox. Hi and welcome.
Everyone reacts differently to different types of HRT and regimes. Even the docs dont realy know why but you will hear the phrase ",its not one size fits all". Some ladies love a particular one and others dont get on with it.
So please dont be put off. Theres no harm in trying and you may find it's perfect for you.
FSH.
I do know that consistently high FSH >30 miu/ml can be used to diagnose post meno along with absense of period for 12 months. I know fsh levels are also used to assess fertility but I'm not sure what role they play or how significant the levels are n peri meno.. Maybe someone else will know. Im guessing it would depend on where you were in your cycle when bloods were take to assess it.

Hi ladies - I was given evorel before xmas but still not started it but think am going to take the plunge as I've been feel bloody rubbish for the last couple of months - change in bowel habits- colonoscopy all clear- no clear diagnosis of IBS but my digestions been awful- cramps acid reflux - blood tests got put on folic acid which I think I've reacted too but docs saying could be a virus- rash all over hands &rash patches on face - it's been an absolute joy lately!! Add on some anxieryy/doom feelings totally exhausted etc & I think I've just about covered it !! Periods are rare - last one was mid Jan but very light - worried about HRT as used to get migraines but had none for year and a half. .... so sorry for rambling post- I often check this site & it really helps - do you think HRT might help me as I'm so so down !!
not myself at all - thanks for listening xx

As oestrogen levels drop so muscles may become lax = aches and pains as well as acid reflux
