Title: Newby Here, been put on Estradot50
Post by: DarkAngel666 on November 04, 2020, 11:28:52 PM
Hi, I had a hysterectomy 4 years ago aged 36, I kept both ovaries but one is small & damaged.
I have finally been put on HRT to help me as my numbers were getting lower & lower, getting night sweats, emotional all the time, fatigue & I also have osteoporosis in my spine & left hip..
I have been prescribed Estradot 50.
Fingers crossed it helps me.

It should help. It's the progesterone that causes most problems, as you don't need it hopefully you'll be OK

You should start feeling better soon. I got on well with Estradot.

Hi Taz, did you find you were getting emotional/tearful on the day before you were due to change your patch?
I've been feeling ok otherwise.

Welcome  :D

I was advised to change my patches 3 times a week instead of twice to help keep the dose more consistent, as I could feel when the dose was dropping.
Might be worth having a chat with your doctor.
