Estradot 100 reviews

Due to being a poor absorber I have changed brand patch a few times and also had to increase dose to 175 over time. Still not right. My blood levels are only 181nm the vaginal dryness and loss of sex drive is since having the Merina fitted. Never suffered before that.

I had a hysterectomy in November (endometriosis and adenomyosis) but my ovaries were left. Almost immediately, I had symptoms of perimenopause - boiling at night, sore boobs, horrible anxiety (filled with dread that something awful was about to happen), zero libido, dizzy spells, incontinence… I spoke to a private gp who specialised in women’s health. She explained that sometimes ovary failure happens after a hysterectomy and put me on hrt. I felt like I wanted to cry when I spoke to her - she explained everything so well and I honestly started feeling better within days of taking HRT. I’m still feeling strangely anxious about things but exercise is helping. Progesterone helps me feel sleepy at night which a bonus with the insomnia I usually have.

Only been on this regime for 2 weeks so very early days, but I have noticed my good days are brilliant and are lasting longer so far. A few more cramps then I used to have before the coil but this doesn’t bother me as my main symptoms I want to manage are the mental health side of things.

I started with peri-menopause symptoms aged 27. I was finally diagnosed last year at aged 31! I am so thankful for HRT, it has made me feel almost normal again which is amazing compared to how I felt those years of waiting to be diagnosed!

My experience with my HRT regime has been a roller coaster ride and not good. 18 months and still no nearer to finding what works well for me. I have had one private appt because I was so ill and had to wait to change to my private recommended prescription only to wait again because patch out of stock, finally started them only to be told by gp they would not continue to prescribe my oestrogel. Doing this halved my dose. I ve now developed arthritis and high blood pressure

It has been a long process to settle on a regime via my private consultant. For some time I was taking higher than recommended doses as I am one of many who do not absorb well. Tried various brands and dosages but no real difference so I have now reduced my dosages to more normal levels with no effect to how I am. It’s important to keep tweaking dosages and different drugs to get the right combination.
