Having been on sequential HRT for 18 months prior, this gel and Utrogestan combo suits me as, although I do have periods of anxiety, I generally feel better and more 'normal ' I'm looking into natural methods to help with achey joints and weight changes

I started with a patch but it kept falling of due to lots of exercise. Moved to a tablet for a while before my doctor recently gel and utrogesteran. Started on oestrogel but changed to samdrena due to problems with supply and symptoms returning when packaging was changed. Happy on the samdrena. Did have some bleeding and after investigating I needed to increase progesterone which seems to be ok. Have a few occasional symptoms one of which is some sore joints/muscle pulls and do seem to pick up lots of small problems - ear infection, cough, cold etc.

I did gain weight, but I don't think that's due to the HRT. The bleeding was due to changing from the mirena coil to utrogestan which didn't agree with me - it cause reflux, mood changes and nausea. I now have a new mirena coil and am very happy.

Lots of changes of dose since I was first put on HRT at 35. This dose seems to have me the most stable
