Title: I keep hearing sequi, combi and conti. What does it mean?
Post by: loonarider on May 21, 2021, 09:23:53 AM

As in the title lots of women mentioning various hrt with sequi, conti or combi added at the end. It's confusing... EXPLAIN?   :o

Conti means continuous - so both oestrogen and progesterone at the same time at a steady dose

Sequi means sequential - so oestrogen and progesterone dose will differ over the month

Combi means combined - so both the above could be combi, combined hormones in one preparation

Hope this helps  :-*
