Hi, I'm 53 and peri-menopausal. I have tried and stopped HRT twice before and used natural remedies. However, th hot flushes and night sweats are back with a vengeance, so I am reconsidering HRT again.

The main reasons for stopping HRT in the past were the continual availability problems and progesterone intolerance.

I cannot take utrogestan orally and do not want to take it vaginally, so I believe that patches and gel are not going to be an option.

If I go down the tablet route can people please let me know which ones ARE currently available?

In the past it seems whatever I am prescribed is the current in short supply items so I end up with a stop start approach  and don't seem able to find something that suits me.

Hello Paula. Some patches are a combination of both oestrogen and progesterone. If you wanted to carry on with patches perhaps that would be an option. On the home page there are links to all the different HRT preparations too.
