Oh poor you- hard when they go to uni.

The problems you are having is because the green tabs or progestogen- and they give PMS type symptoms for some women.

The best way round this is to try different types of HRT until you find one that suits you better. Don't worry too much for now- once you have finished the progestogens and are back to the oestrogen-only tabs, you should feel less low.

I've not used pills myself- I use oestrogen gel and a natural progesterone called utrogestan- but I'v heard other women taking pill form HRT that Femoston can cause much less PMS- maybe ask your dr?
