Can HRT suddenly stop working, or give side effects?
« on: May 06, 2020, 01:56:20 PM »

Hi all

Just wanted to ask, is it possible that you can suddenly become intolerant or resistant to an HRT regime that you've been on for nearly 2 years?  I'm just trying to work out whats going on with me.

Thanks

Yes it can stop bring ax effective . Your own oestrogen may have dropped further meaning that you need more via HRT . X

Yes definitely, as Jeepers said you may need more oestrogen

Thanks

I was wondering  because on the oestrogel leaflet , one of the side effects listed is vertigo.

This last month I've been getting it, but before that I was fine

Anything the surgical removal of a nephew might alleviate?  ;)
 When I had vertigo it was an inner ear problem. It might be worth getting it checked out.

Yes agree with everyone here!
I Saw an Endo who specialises in menopause- I'd been on Femoston 2/10 for about 2 and a half years and started to feel rubbish. It had been great for me so I was clinging on to it.
She said your body kind of stops recognising it like an immunity- that's not her technical explanation more mine but she did use a name I can't remember or pronounce??
I had one pump of gel top up to tablets then have dropped the tablets now and just use gel 2 pumps and prog. I?ll increase to three pumps if needed or whenever I can get bloods checked 👍 so yes, it's a 'thing? xx
