Novofem no help
« on: September 03, 2020, 07:02:13 PM »

hi, need some advice please, at 50 i was put on kliofem as had gone 18mths without a period and was suffering extreme hot flushes and night sweats. They worked well except i bled profusely approx every 3mths? After 9 th month dr changed my hrt to novofem, telling me i would be better to have a scheduled bleed every month. Just coming to end of 3rd mth, have suffered migraines, mood swings and vivid dreams sometimes with night sweats, also no bleed on 2nd month?? Really dont know what to do, have telephone consult on weds, last time i asked whether tibolone would be better, dr said not ready to go down that route yet. Trying my best to get ax much info before i speak to her, would gel or patches be a better idea. Over the last 7yrs have tried hrt, tabs, about 4 times. 🥵😢😢

Hi welcome to the forum. Novofem has half the amount of oestrogen as Kliofem, so that’s probably why your symptoms have returned. X

Hi Tracey. I would ask for a patch such as Evorel Sequi which should be available again now. Don't give up! Also ha e you had a look at the various treatments listed under the 'Menu' button at the top of the page?

Thanks  Dotty, thats what i thought. There's a lot of information on here, going to try and have some sort of plan for when i speak to gp on weds.
Thanks Taz2 was thinking either patches or gel, but keep reading about Tibolone, will definately search through the info 😁🤪
