I've been taking cerazette due to horrible heavy flooding for the past yr whilst trying to convince gp I was peri-menopausal (I'm 45)
Finally after a final round of blood tests that came back normal, one of the GPS had a telephone consultation to talk about hrt.
She immediately suggested patches but I asked if a topical gel would be appropriate as I was on the cerazette & didn't really want to mess about with that as it took some time for my bleeding to stop.
She didn't seem to know & said she would check but was also at great pains to tell me hrt wasn't a magic cure all & that I needed to accept the increased risk of cancer.
She called back & said they would prescribe oestrogel but I'm now concerned that the cerazette isn't an adequate progesterone solution?
I will call back to surgery but just wanted to see if this was a common combination people had?
