Title: HRT Gels/Creams
Post by: Andreaweston on August 24, 2018, 07:53:54 AM

Hi all, I'm new to this, but wondered if anyone can help me. I'm 52, trying to control anxiety/not sleeping/loss of appetite/heat problems with diet & supplements, but really struggling at mo & feeling up & down. Poorly when down. Does anyone know if a HRT gel may help & can I use with all my herbal supplements? Thank you.... I'm a bit dubious about HRT but need to do something soon.

I don't think you should use herbal hrt -type pills with hrt, I think one or the other

Give the gel a go, so easy to adjust the dose x

Hi and welcome to mm
Look under TREATMENTS on this site to see your options. If you still have a womb then you will need progesterone alongside the oestrogen.
