Hi everyone, I am located in Melbourne, Australia, am 54 and just starting HRT.
My last period was 4 months ago, for the 2 years prior they had become irregular, some normal, some very light. I have had no sign whatsoever of any period coming and have been having difficulty with mood swings, I cry at the drop of a hat, and have got to the stage where the GP has just prescribed Femoston 2/10. Recent blood tests indicate Estradiol at about 90, FSH over 1000, Progesterone 0.9.
I notice that there is a 1/10 version of Femoston , however that is not available in Australia.
I am a little worried about taking HRT, and started taking them yesterday. I have a dull headache, my stomach feels a little bloated, and one thing I do notice is that I have light pain over the gallbladder area. ( I do have a single gallstone however that causes no issues other than dull pain rarely)
I am wondering if the 2/10 is a strong type of HRT, and whether I should be concerned about the bloating and headaches.
Thankyou for any information.
