[Meno44]

So Bijuve is my last ditch attempt at HRT.

I’ve tried every regime going and I think I’m so sensitive to hormones that they all make me feel ill.

I have been taking Bijuve for a few days and the dreaded stomach pain and wind have arisen.

Has anyone experienced this and then these symptoms have gone after some time?

I think this is probably the utrogestan component of it. If it continues, you can take just the estrogen orally and the utrogestan vaginally.... if you get them separately.

[Meno44]

I’ve already tried them separately and taken the utrogestan both orally and vaginally, it all makes me feel ill! ☹️

If taking separate estradiol and progesterone orally made you ill, why did someone think bijuve was a good idea?

Apologies if it has already been excluded but have you tried tibolone?

[Meno44]

 My GP recommended it. I didn’t realise it’s the same as Utrogeston.

I’ve tried Tibolone and had severe stomach pain and digestive issues. I’ve literally tried everything.

I think I’m just going to give up now unfortunately. I’m just 49 so was hoping to take some HRT for preventative measures but I don’t think I can.

I wouldn't give up, if I were you - the health benefits available long-term make it a good idea to persevere.

Have you considered a mirena coil? That would take care of the progestin side of things (which is probably what's causing the problems for you) and then you just take estrogen however you want - orally or transdermally.

[Meno44]

I’ve tried the Mirena Coil, twice.

I really mean I’ve tried every HRT going and all of them mess my stomach up. The Bijuve was the only one left.

I was the same with contraceptives they all made me feel so sickly. I just don’t think it’s for me.
