Hya, hope you're headache free today,
Sorry no miracle cures. Infact I think they don't know much about headaches! The only thing she said was that conti regimes sometimes worked better as you avoid the highs and lows, but if you're not menopausal that's not an option. She was relucanat to give me conti as she felt I may not be menopausal yet due to my pattern of bleeding, even though I'm 57 (I had regular periods before starting HRT 18 months ago). I'm now just hoping I can get some evorel conti as soon as it's available. The dr wanted me to go on gel and utrogesten as she says its easy to adapt according to symptoms, but after reading stories on here, including yours I think Mogster, I am really relucant to try utrogesten orally and can't face doing it vaginally every day. Also, I thought people with headaches shouldn't have oral preps but she was really advocating it. The only alternatives she suggested were estrogen patch and provera (which she said had more side effects) or increasing patch to 1.5 which she didn't recommend as more likely to get more side effects with increased progesterone. She kept saying utrogesten is the bio identical and most people get on really well with it. I can always try that if there's no improvement with evorel conti or alternatively try weaning myself off HRT. What I don't understand is how come you can have any number of pumps of gel and utrogesten but you can't increase estrogen patch without increasing the progesterone. I don't get it.
