Hi ladies, I hate posting as posted so much over the years but do find it all overwhelming, the different types strengths ect, I know a lot probably think I should know by now what I'm doing but getting changed and hrt discontinuing all the time really dose not help.

I was on 100 Estraderm  and 100 ustrogen every night, I seemed ok but do get emotional and very bloated.

Because of supply problems I'm changing to Sandrena gel the doctor said 1.5 is equivalent to the 100 patch, but had to look it up, is this correct as I have ostprina and want to make sure I'm using the right amount.

Now I've had spotting but no period, I really feel like I could do with one, is this possible if I tried taking the pro a different way.? Have a break? Take 200 for 14 days.? Just I think it may help.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help and sorry for all the questions, x

Hi Butterfly 22....are you post menopausal? (sorry if you've stated this many times already but i can't remember.)

There is a chart which shows you the equivalent doses.  I'll try and find the link and post it for you xx

Here's the link to the info on bottom of page 1.  Which strength Sandrena have you got?  This chart is saying that you need 2mg to equate to a 100 patch . x

I thought after quick research it was 2, I had to ask the doctor as originally given 1mg now they have added a 0.5mg.
Thanks Dotty. Just popping out so will look and get back in touch with the doctor x

Hi Dotty
Now I've had spotting but no period, I really feel like I could do with one, is this possible if I tried taking the pro a different way.? Have a break? Take 200 for 14 days.? Just I think it may help in working out of a way possible to have a bleed x

[Dotty]

If you are post menopause then you shouldn't be bleeding x

[Butterfly22]

Ah right, I have had bleeds in the past couple of years when I was on the patches. And the doctor said do you want a bleed I said yes and she said just take one a day. I'm very confused x

[Dotty]

The peri menopause dose is 200mg from days 15-26 of your cycle x

Ok so I'm best just keep going, thanks for helping and answering my questions Dotty it's much appreciated xxx
