How many different HRT tablets did you try?

I'm just wondering how much longer to give it. Started on Duette but after a year the symptoms came back so went on to Elleste. Brain disappeared again so have changed to Femoston but they have side effects too (restless legs, even more painful periods than before..gah). GP is sending me for blood test to check iron levels but I'm sure it's the HRT. When I asked how much longer we keep trying to find the right tablet, she said it was 'up to me' which wasn't madly helpful.

So, how many different types did you try? Am also considering hysterectomy (in fact, if you gave me the instructions and a dessert spoon I would probably attempt it myself, given my feelings today!) which would at least mean I could go on to oestrogen only HRT (believe it's the progesterone which causes my side effects).
So, how long did you give it and were you successful in the end?
