Title: Changing from tablets to patches
Post by: Dawn W on December 02, 2020, 01:34:54 PM

Hi all,
I've been on Kliofem 2mg/1mg for the last 2 1/2 years. It took a while to find the correct one for me.
I no longer get hot flushes, insomnia, brain fog, intense anxiety etc. So all good!
I do, however, have zero libido!
Have also had bloating & loose motions whilst being on hrt.
I'm suffering migraines & have done since before taking hrt, but my doctor has just suggested maybe changing to patches instead.
I'm looking for advice about side effects changing over etc.
Thanks ladies
Dawn

You can't tell what will suit you and what won't without trying it. Patches are safer than oral so I would go for it. Remember the majority of women are perfectly OK, the ones who post on here are the few who have problems. You're les likely to have gut problems as it pass through it.
