I get the Emerita creams from iHerb.com.
It's the BiEstro (combo Estriol and Estradiol) and ProGest.
I recently had the ultrasound to check uterine thickness - some docs have said the progesterone as a cream will not be sufficient but the thickness was fine.  So I will continue.

Just to add another note in case it helps anyone,  I'm 5 months into testosterone now (testogel) and it really helps my bladder. If I do wake at night I don't have to get up to pee and I no longer have the constant urge to pee when I know I don't need to.
I was speaking to a lady the other day whose sister has had years of bladder problems ie sensitivity, pain, needing to pee frequently and once any serious illness was ruled out, she was prescribed testosterone.  She is in her 80's and not on HRT. Apparently now she's been 12 months on it she rarely has any problems and says she has a 'normal' bladder.
Hope that may help some of you.

Thanks, MrsMitch.  Thinking of asking my GP for Testogel due to lots of good reports about it reducing bladder issues.  Did you have any side effects from it?

Well Garnet, not anything that made me want to stop using it. Spotty at the end of month one but by the end of month two, that cleared up. Although I apply it to the inside of my elbow the tops of my thighs seem hairier but I'm just about to buy an eplitator
Apart from that, it's all positive.
