Title: Femoston 2/10
Post by: Deirdre on June 24, 2016, 01:47:25 PM

I am on Femoston 2/10 for over three years.  I started at 50.  I have a very heavy bleed some months and other months light.  I work out most days and watch my diet but can't seem to shed the weight.  I am around 1 stone over weight since I started the tablets.  For the past month I have bad cramps, like period pains and I am bloated.

My question is should stop taking Femoston and hope for the best. I am not sure if my periods have stopped as I was still getting irregular periods when I started Femoston 1/10 and then went onto Femoston 2/10

Any suggestions ladies?

I started a break from HRT last week to see what my own cycle is up to and to see if I still need it, after much deliberation.  I must say I've lost 3 pounds during the past week and my clothes are looser, whether that's just bloating going down or actual weight loss, I don't know but I know last time I had a break from HRT I lost almost half a stone in a month with no changes to diet, etc. 

Hope you come to a decision.

Thank you Liz.

I think I will take a break and see how I get on.

Have a good weekend.
