Title: Any suggestions for best hrt to avoid mood swings?
Post by: CherryC on August 30, 2022, 09:50:48 AM

Hi - I'm post meno and been on hrt for 8 years.  I have been struggling with hrt recently due to mood swings.  I don't remember the mood swings in the early days but doesn't seem to matter what I try now, they appear!  I have mainly tried Estradot patches, Utrogestan and Testogel....tried the gel....tried Provera...tried Evorel Conti.  I'm thinking back to when I tried Evorel Conti a couple of years ago and think my mood wasn't too but I remember having VERY restless nights. 
I just don't know where to go from here and I am getting in a muddle.  Hope I haven't confused things but I've put another thread on the Post-Meno section asking for opinions on Evorel Conti...
Any experiences and help would be appreciated. Thanks x

Thank you for your reply Poppytoast - I think you are right about it building up in your system and then starting to cause issues!
Glad to hear you are having some success with Tibolone - I did try this a few years ago but I think I had some side effects with that.  I really hope it works well for you as there are many benefits.
