Anyone taking Estelle Duet for early menopause?

I'm 38 and have been told by my GP that my symptoms along with some recent blood results point to me going through the menopause.

At the original appt to discuss my symptoms, the (very kind, knowledgeable, female) GP said, depending on blood results, we could discuss all the different types of HRT available. She mentioned patches, gels, coil, tablets etc.

A different GP from the same practice called me regarding my blood results, saying they confirm early menopause (although because I'm under 40, it's actually called ovarian insufficiency or something like that?)
And he said, the tablets will be ready at the pharmacy to be collected in 48 hours.

The tablets are Estelle Duet.

I don't know whether to just take them and see how I go. Or call back for an appt with the original GP to discuss all the possible options.

So, I wondered if any of you lovely ladies have taken these tablets and if you'd recommend them or not?

Thanks in advance for reading this far :)

Hey

I've been on them 2 weeks.
I had my ovaries removed due to family history of ovarian cancer. I'm 40.

I'm not sure if its the op or HRT but I've felt exhausted and sick on and off.
I spoke to my GP who said it can take 12 weeks to adjust to HRT.
