Progynova 1mg reviews
0 reviews
Progynova 1mg is an oestrogen only tablet form of HRT. It can be taken alone if you have no womb. If you do have a womb, you need to combine this tablet with a form of progesterone to protect your womb lining from overgrowth. Some women find that they absorb oestrogen better as a tablet than through patches and gels, but the tablets do come with a slightly increased risk of blood clots.

Method
Continuous or Cyclical
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.
Cyclical HRT is where you take breaks from the progesterone part of HRT, usually each month. You will usually have a withdrawal bleed around the time the progesterone has stopped. Some methods of HRT have this break built in already.

Oestrogen only
Oestrogen is the main component of HRT. If you have a uterus and are using oestrogen HRT then you will need to take a form of progesterone to protect the womb lining (endometrium) from overgrowing, as this can increase the risk of endometrial cancer.
