Me again! I was on Oestrogel and Utrogestan for two months and although the gel was great and very easy to use, I didnt get on with the Utrogestan capsules neither orally nor vaginally. Taken by mouth I suffered from bad acid reflux and when inserted I became very sore, very quickly so unfortunately had to stop. I recently spoke to my Consultant and she agreed I could try Femseven Conti patches again if I could get hold of them (fortunately I could!) and so I’ve now been using them for four weeks and even though I’ve had no real problems, I have found that my joint aches and pains are slowly returning along with vaginal dryness and itching. Previously I had to stop Evorel Conti as It was found that I wasn’t absorbing the patches and it looks as if it’s happening again with Femseven even though they are sticking well. Please can someone explain why this would happen?
Even though I have no idea where I go from here, it is proof that I really do need Hrt and without it my mobility would be very much affected due to pain, stiffness and other very unpleasant symptoms.
