Hi discogirl,

I took Femoston 1/10 for about a year and then 2/10 for six months. I upped to 2/10 because I started getting breakthrough bleeding - I’m peri. I felt great on Femoston and had no side effects…apart from the 2/10 totally annihilated my libido. I switched to topical plus testosterone because of that.

Xx

The dydrogesterone part worked but I could not absorb the oral oestrogen so I went on evorel and utrogestan.

Hi sfreesto and Dandelion

Thanks for your replies.

Seems like femoston could be a good option for me if I choose to go back on hrt. It's the progesterone that is the trouble for me. I need something strong enough to keep my womb lining thin but not too strong that I'm totally wired on it if you get my drift. 

thanks for your feedback x
