Morning ladies. I'm currently on Femoston conti low dose but finding I've got a constant headache, aching joints, tired all the time, nausea, palpitations and generally feeling low. I've also tried the 1/5 dose but have felt worse on that dosage. From your experiences, ladies, do you think it could be the progesterone causing these issues? I've looked at possible side effects of taking progesterone and these are listed, although I appreciate that low oestrogen can cause aching joints too. I'm in my 60's so can't imagine I'm getting my own hormone fluctuations now !
I went to see a meno specialist a few weeks ago and she has suggested changing to gel and Utrogestan and adding in Testogel for tiredness. However, I had to go into see GP before she would prescribe and she wants me to either try new HRT regime OR testosterone but not everything at the same time. I said I would try the testosterone first but now wish I'd said I would change HRT now 😏.
Any thoughts you have would be appreciated.
Thank you.
