@Sophie so annoying I felt so good for a while
@Victoria same! And it was back to square one 😞 But I guess like any medication, it’s trial and error finding the right one! What are you on? I was on patches only, but now on patches and tablets and it’s working much better for me!
@Sophie I'm on oestrogel 4 pumps and utrogestan 100mg a day, I'll have to get on to the gp next week hopefully get something sorted....I'll have to warn them at work that I'm ready to snap again 🤣
You need an increase in your oestrogen hun. I've had mine increased several times. I'm on evorel 100 patches and now need more
@Victoria uh oh! Good luck, let us know how you get on!
@Julie yes same! Couldn’t get evorel 100 here though so had to swap to patches and tablets
@Sophie I need more. I'm calling for appointment with menopause clinic tomorrow. I'm losing so much hair, not sleeping well, itchy crawly skin, my joints and muscles hurt x
@Julie thanks, I felt a bit better when I increased the gel pumps but guessing they start most people on a low dose
@Sophie will do 👍
@Julie hope you get somewhere, fortunately I've not had to deal with the hair loss yet that must be horrible
@Julie oh bless you, it’s horrendous isn’t it….thank god we can talk about it here 🙏🏻
@Victoria yeah they do. Gel stopped working for me. The brand changed and I found it wasn't effective. Switched to patches was much better but now need more x
@Victoria I lost loads before starting HRT. I'm talking I picked out 2 huge handfuls out the plug after washing my hair. I'm now losing again. Luckily I have a lot of hair x
@Julie well good luck with the clinic hopefully they'll get it sorted for you 🤞🤞

@Victoria hope so. They've been reluctant to increase as I'm waiting for an urgent hysterectomy since October but I can't stand it anymore x
@Julie @Sophie been put on to the patches dr thinks my bodies not absorbing the gel, she said give it weeks if bo relief phone back up...🤞🤞 it kicks back in
@Victoria I stopped absorbing gel that's why I switched to patches. But it is possible you just need more oestrogen. See how you get on x
Will they give you more than 100mg dose oestrogen @Julie? I'm on the same 100mg patch and feel like I need more but though that's the highest dose you can get?
*thought
You need to up dosage..I started a period after 10 years..so changed patches an on 200 uostogen tablets continuously
Sorry only replying to this now Angela I haven't been on here recently. I got a slightly higher dose patch and it's improved my symptoms. Thanks 😊
@Aine after my hysterectomy yes they will
@Julie did you manage to get an appointment at a menopause clinic?
@Victoria I've been under them for 2 years now. Have to wait till jy hysterectomy for a further appt
@Julie ah ok
@Julie hope you can have your op soon. My sister has been through that and feeling a lot better since her recovery
@Aine thank you. My op is this Friday 5th May x
That's great you got a date for the op. Hope it goes well for you x
Yes, I did, after about 3 months. The doctor changed me onto different HRT and so far, so good!
