Femoston-conti 1mg/5mg reviews

5.0

1 reviews

Femoston-conti is a very low dose continous combined regime. It contains a synthetic progesterone but it has a neutral breast cancer risk for 5 years, so could be a good choice if you are worried about breast cancer risk. The low oestrogen level means it is a good dose to start with if you are worried about flares of conditions such as migraine or endometriosis, which can occur when you start HRT. However, this needs to be balanced against the slightly increased risk of blood clots with tablet HRT which may be significant if you have a family history of blood clots, smoke or have a high BMI.

Method

Continuous

Continuous HRT is where you take the same dose of both oestrogen and progesterone every day. It is used when your periods have stopped or when you have used cyclical HRT for more than 1 year. The aim of continuous HRT is to prevent bleeding.

Combined (oestrogen and progesterone)

Oestrogen is the main component of HRT. If you have a uterus you should use HRT which also contains progesterone, or alongside progesterone to protect the womb lining (endometrium) from overgrowing as this can increase the risk of endometrial cancer.

Whilst on the HRT drug I felt really well and not troubled by the menopause. My GP took be off it once the menopause had passed and due to my age. In 2014 I was 56 and had been on the drug for over 10 years. I also took Citalopram for my depression and the 2 together worked really well. I also have Crohn’s disease so was taking Azathioprine and had 2 weekly Adalimumab injections throughout the time I was menopausal.
