Hi how old are you ( if you don’t mind me asking)?
The advice is that you can try a Conti hrt after you’ve been on Sequi for a year, but you might get bleeding still if your body isn’t ready for a Conti regime.
If your symptoms are coming back it’s likely that you need more oestrogen so would need to change to gel or patch. x

Is it Evorel Conti patches they’ve advised? Or Elleste Duet Conti tablets ?X

Yes ,that was one he said ,did not mention elleste duet conti x

You may find you absorb more through a patch but if you need more oestrogen you’d need to change to gel or an oestrogen only patch … both with a separate progesterone.
