Hi ladies
Really need some advice. Was taking Fem 7 Conti followed by Evorel Conti both patches which were great but was allergic to the glue. I want to use Estradot Patch but there is no topical Progesterone that is licensed in UK. My GP has prescribed Femoston 2/10. Any advice on the best tolerated oral HRT would be fantastic! Am 4 weeks with nothing and am sleepless and miserable! Thanks everyone

Hi! I was on cyclo progynova and now on Femoston 2/10.
I have no side effects, only a bit dizziness at the morning, it contains a mild progestin and I have no symptoms at all.
I don't like the idea of patches and I cannot find the gel.
So I'm stick with Femoston and feel good! :)

I'm on Femoston also. It's been brilliant. No side effects and all symptoms have gone. The tablets are so tiny they are easy to swallow for me.
