Title: Femseven conti
Post by: Rufus657 on July 21, 2017, 07:42:33 AM

Hello ladies. Any advice would help. I decided to take HRT after much deliberation.  Mainly for low energy , aching joints ,  no sex drive and mood swings.

I'm 59 , menopause came very late. ( about 2.5 years ago ! )

I've been on femseven conti 50mcg/7mcg for 6 weeks now after feeling dreadful on elleste conti. All pretty good apart from a few breakthrough bleeds. My mood has lifted , I generally feel fantastic.

However 2 niggles. My libido isn't great (it was much improved on elleste ) and its subsided again and the other thing is Im getting  night sweats. Some nights are fine but generally I'm struggling with this every night.
Any advice gratefully received ladies :)

Hello Shortie...sorry to butt in...can I ask you? Do you use one and a half evorel patches all of the time?  I use these and think this would help me as I generally get on fine with them but feel I could do with a bit more.  Do you halve the oestrogen only patch or the prog/oestrogen too?  X

Thanks Shortie

So could you explain what symptoms the oestrogen and progesterone  help with. Which help which ? Also is there a stronger femseven patch do you know ?

Thanks.
