Hi
I started with femeston 1/10 in april, but by july i had upped it to 2/10, because nightsweats, fog and wee wakes started up again
Maybe what your experiencing has nothing to do with the hrt. I thought for years my gut troubles were peri- turns out it was the gall bladder all along!
Also your own hormones my have dipped or spiked.
I suppose the only way to find out is to keep going and see what happens, see your gp to discuss options, or to stop. I for one , now, would never stop as things have settled down.
I suppose the bottom line is are you feeling overall better on it or off it? . If on it is the answer then sticking with it or seeing your gp for chat

Hi,
I'm only on month 2 of Femoston 1/10.....
I am still monitoring my symptoms, any headaches etc
In my first month no flushes at all but I am now having the odd one here and there...
For me, any side effects would have to be pretty awful for me to stop taking HRT as the relief from on the hour every hour flushes has been life changing!
I would stick with it for now but perhaps make an appointment for a review with your GP? I am due to see mine at the end of my third month just to see how things are.....
Good luck and hope you feel brighter soon.

Maybe you would do better on transdermal HRT as tablets can cause nausea - although so can high oestrogen, and also progesterone! I have a feeling you have already been on patches or gel though but may be wrong?
Hope you feel better soon and can relax a bit over half term - I thought it was next week?
