HRT

[MillieMoses]

Hi All,
Can anyone offer any advice please?
I have been one sequi hrt for the last two months. All was fine until last week until I started the gel only phase again….and now my boobs are soooo sore its debilitating. I have to sleep in a bra, even shower in one 😞 I am close to giving in and stopping taking it although it has helped me with the fatigue and achy legs and my periods have become more regular.
Is it too soon to give in? I know the drs said three months but this bloating and soreness is making me more miserable than not being on it.
Thank you for listening. Any advice greatly appreciated.

Sorry!

This is usually because the dose is too high.

If you use 2 pumps, why not reduce to 1 for a month and see how that goes?

Thank you so much for responding. Having read other posts on this topic I was hoping to hear from you. I am currently on just one pump so will try cutting down to a half or can I cut out the gel part of it all together for the time being?

You could try that but you might get some spotting if you stop it - but that's not really an issue when you know what's caused it.

It sounds as if you are very sensitive to it.

It's worth trying to get it right, so maybe it's a case of slowly, slowly :)

Thank you so much. I have decided to persevere by cutting down and seeing how I get on. Watch this space 🤞
