Best to change one thing at a time so the consequences of the change are clear.

Good point Sheila.

They just put the fear of god in you about not taking enough prog

Overtreatment with progestogens is one thing that I really hate to see.

Endometrial cancer, like most malignancies, develops over years, and even in the 1960-70s before progestins were added, yes there were higher rates of endometrial cancer but the majority of women were fine.

Even now the occasional old biddy in her 80s or so turns up in clinics having gone under the radar on estrogen only for decades despite having a uterus, and they don't have any cancer.

The only thing I would say about being on one cerazette is that if it doesn't shut you down completely, you may be having your own ovarian activity in the background which may make the E patch difficult to assess.

Oh. The whole thing has come crashing down anyway!

Only 48 hours into 1/2 patch - still waiting on my text to say I can pick up my E only patches! And my MCAS stomach issue has triggered.

And thats. Boom and bust! 

Back to 1/4. Probably won't resolve. So end of my current hrt trial. Gutted is an understatement.

But I will not give up. Slowly slowly they slip hrt in when MCAS iscan issue. I'm going to pay an expert to be told that. It's all so utterly frustrating.

I'll swap to 12.5mcg E patch only when I get it. Fingers crossed that light help calm my system

Thanks for the reassurance on one cerazette. It is fast becoming the least of my worries.

Gutted. .
