Hi all, new to the forum so apologies if I'm posting this in wrong place
I've just started HRT for peri-menopause symptoms around four weeks ago. Seems to be uneventful so far although I have noticed some joint pain in shoulders, knees and wrists which I didn't have prior to starting - is this common? I'm on Oestrogel 2 pumps a day, Utrogestan 200mg for twelve days of my cycle and Eostriol cream twice a week vaginally.
I had been using the Oestrogel in the morning and Utrogestan at night but someone told me I should be using the Oestrogel at same time as the Utrogestan - is this correct? Using the gel in the morning works better for me so hoping it doesn't matter!
Does anyone know if I can delay my period for holidays/events now and then by taking the Utrogestan for longer than the 12 days? My period is really heavy and cramps are awful which means I've had to cancel a few things lately which is rotten, period can be unregular and starts a week early/late sometimes so can't plan hols/events round it either!
Thanks all
