After a really flat week (which if it is going to come it always comes the week I'm on a bleed) I'm wondering if 1mg should be upped to 2mg. So scared of the breast cancer risk which the girls at my work are always going on about!! Stuck between a rock and a hard place. But the low mood is frightening and lasting a week to 10 days is too much for me!!!!!!

Thankyou. I am really just wondering if 1mg is enough to do anything!!!!! Seems low!!! X

It depends . Initially I was put on 1mg elleste solo then had to move up to 2mg. 2mg is the maximum dose advised for elleste solo, don't confuse it with patches/gel, as it is all different. If you're still having symptoms it might be worth you increasing your dose or moving over to gel or patch x

Everyone is different I have been on under 1mg for yrs and have no symptoms at all, it can be more than enough.

Thankyou I will make an appointment at the clinic. Glad to know I have your support this forum is such a comfort on the dark days xx

It depends on your age and your symptoms. If you are under 45 maybe you need higher doses. If you are symptoms free I think that you can stay on 1mg.
We have to find the appropriate dose for each of us, we are different and our body acts different.
When I say that I will stay on hrt the longer I can, my friends look at me with despair! 💐
