I've came away for the week (UK) and forgot my HRT, femiston conti 0.5 2.5 so only low dose. Anyway, day 6 without it and I actually feel okay - few flushes and waking through the night but nothing too bad. Now wondering if I should bother restarting tomorrow when I get back home or just see how it goes, anyone else done similar? Or would it take longer to leave my system and am I still having benefits from it?

From my experience, I could cope without for a while but gradually over time, symptoms would come back. It's not just hot flushes though - it's all the 'hidden' symptoms as well.

It can take as long as 3 months to feel the real effects of stopping.
