Starting vaginal Utrogestan 200mg and Estradot 50mcg

The Estradot leaflet says it's for postmenopausal women but I had my last period in January. Is it ok because I'm also going to take Utrogestan?

The GP (a menopause speciality trainee) may have explained but I waited so long for the patches to be in stock that I've forgotten a lot of what was said in our phone appointment. I reread the letter she sent to my GP and it doesn't mention when my last period was. I'm still in perimenopause and I know she knew that because we talked about it.

I'll ring them next week to clarify but any further info welcome, thanks. I'm just finding it difficult to get my head around.

A lot of these types of HRT say for post menopausal women and it's a mystery why!

Loads of women use all kinds of estrogen-only hrt plus porgesterone, so it's not a problem.

Thanks very much, that's so helpful! I read here that people sometimes end up with inappropriate regimens so I wanted to double check.
