Title: Femoston Conti 0.5/2.5mg
Post by: Jash1066 on September 18, 2019, 09:12:51 PM
Day 6 on Femoston Conti 0.5/2.5mg I am really bloated (put on 11/2 lbs in 6 days), pain in ovaries, flushes have increased, spotty face.  Does anyone else have similar experiences of this   Is this normal during the first few days and will it settle down???

Hi  Jash1066........ :welcomemm:

Welcome aboard....I'm on Femoston Conti, and at first I had terrible bloating, wind, feeling sick, period like pains, and headaches! I never thought it would settle, but it did.
I've been on it now for nearly two years, and although sometimes I still get everything I've just listed, it's no where near as bad as before. In fact, sometimes we can blame theses things on the hrt, and maybe it's food related instead, I know I can't eat what I used to eat before.🤷‍♀️ But like I say, it's not so bad anymore. You should try and stay on it for about 3/6 months to see if things settle, if you really can't stand it anymore, then change to another one....good luck, let us know how you get on...xx
