Hi Paisley
I am on Evoril Conti patches. I use about 3/4 of a patch as more than that gives me break through bleeding and cramp.
I started off with Evoril Sequi and then after two years changed to the conti. I has sorted out the flushes really well. I am not sure whether it is the best one for anxiety and joint aches but I am going to stick with it.

Are you going to do a graph of results.....It would make interesting reading.
-
Thanks already, yes honeybun, never thought about a graph and then pie chart, bar chart etc(only joking) Seriously I am going to write them all down and see which is the most popular and works the best
-
Started on Femseven sequi patches but got skin irritation. Changed to Nuvelle sequi which was brilliant but it was discontinued. :'(
Now on Femoston sequi 2/10 - very good apart from some spotting which might be due to being on the mini-pill as well.

Oestrogel (have had a hysterectomy so only need oestrogen).
I have found it really good - very easy to use and I like the idea of not taking a pill.

2 x 100 Estradot patch. Not sure yet if ok.

Hi I am on a 75 implant before that was on estraderm 100 patch

Am on fourth hrt, elleste solo and ultrogestan 100mg for 25 days out of 28. The only thing that am really finding hard at the moment are joint and muscle pain.

Femoston Conti is the one for me! (Am post meno, no periods for around 3 years and suffered badly with symptoms before taking HRT this January!).
Started off on Femoston Conti and only took it for 5 months. I was getting monthly bleeds which were really very heavy to start off with although were easing off, however.............. then went onto the FemSeven Conti patch which didn't work that well for me...........so then went on Kliofem which just made me feel worn out and brought back meno symptoms.
So yesterday ditched the Kliofem and started taking Femoston Conti again and here this morning I already feel better!
Good luck Paisley.
-
been on elleste duet 6 months, today we upped me to 2mg as some symptoms are breaking through, mainly the emotional mood swing ones grrrrr
dr doesnt seem concerned I only had 1 blled since starting hrt, about 8 weeks in, which was 7 months since previous bleed. Its not 4 months since I saw anything...
-
Thanks for you replies, it is quite interesting looking at what everyone is taking and how they are getting on with that hrt, I am amazed at London girl that she has gone back to her original one and next day starting to feel better, that is so good.

Started on Femseven Conti patches 6 weeks ago. Night sweats/flushes are have gone(apart from the odd warm moment) and I'm beginning to have more good, than bad nights sleep. The only problem I've had is patch irritation. Fingers crossed I've found the reason why. I always shower but on patch changeover day I've been having a long soak with bubbles . Before the last patch change, I showered and touchwood, no irritation. Still feeling a bit anxious but I'm optimistic this will improve with time.
-
I was started on Femeston 1/10 and was lucky enough that it suited me. Started to feel better within a week :) Didn't fancy patches, rather take a tablet.....
-
Evoril Conti,
Just upped from half a patch to a whole patch twice weekly as on half a patch was still experiencing hot flushes. Been on whole patch about a month. Really helped hot flushes.
Tried 3 lots of tablets before the patches, all gave me horrid side effects, so patches seen the way forward for me....

Tridestra pills for over a year now. First HRT and luckily suited me from the start, but had the usual very common side-effects for the first few weeks (headaches, light-headedness).
Sorted out my sleeping problems (my worst meno symptom) although I do still occasionally 'ping' awake around 3 am - what is it about that hour? - but can at least get back to sleep fairly quickly. I suspect I'm probably post-meno now, but am quite happy to continue to have quarterly bleeds for a while yet.

Hi,
Prempack C 0.625 - probably too early to tell as I am only on day 12 of my first box - I like that it seems to be having an effect on the horrendous hot flushes and also I seem to have lost some of the brain fog - but, my boobs have grown and i look pregnan round my middle - dont like that at all :(
Good luck to everyone in finding there 'perfect' hrt! x
-
I am finding this interesting cos when someone tells me what they have been taking I do a little research about that hrt and find out what sort of oestrogen it is. At least it is keeping me a bit occupied while I am dealing with my own hormones issues and it might be productive.
-
I've just come across this during a search on femseven.
I like to know what other people are on or have tried as I'm nebby lol and also I like to do a little research with not doing any work at the moment :bounce:
