Elleste duet increase

4 replies

Hi, has anyone had any experience going from 1mg to 2mg of Elleste Duet? I started Hrt for the first time this year for insomnia and aching joints. The 1mg worked well for the first 6 weeks but by month 3 the effects were not as noticeable and the progesterone tablets floored me. My GP increased this to 2mg, I'm halfway through the second month, have not had a period at all and feel really revved up, irritable and anxious. Am hoping this will settle down. Anyone got any wise words please?

I’ve been taking it for 2 months (1mg) and it’s done nothing at all. I’ve just contacted GP and I’m having blood tests. Very disappointed so far

Oh sorry to hear that, I think they say give it 3 months so if nothing is happening yet I wonder if they will put yours up?

The GP said maybe they will try a different one after the blood test. I guess they are all different? The insomnia is the pits. I found I am pretty irritable on the green tablets. Hope you get it sorted
