Evorel 50 and 200mg utrogestan

[Kimlolly]

I have finally had my appointment and the consultant wants to try me on evorel 50 patches and 200mg utrogestan have managed to get some due to shortages so going to start them just wondering if anyone else on them and any side affects

I am on the combo and no side effects

Thank you have read it can cause bloating weight gain and spotting which I had spotting continuously on everol conti and bloating so fingers crossed it will suit me

I was spotting more on the conti -I thought the weight was just menopause :-)

If you are using a sequential regime, with a timed withdrawal bleed every month you should not get spotting.

There are zillions of side effects on every medicine (even drugs bought over the counter ) but most people don't get any or only some and not seriously.

Is there any reason you aren't on Evorel conti high has the progesterone included?

I’ve been on this combination about 18 months, stopped virtually all my symptoms although still have some sleep issues.

The female GP who prescribed it said it was currently the ‘gold standard’ HRT treatment.

I haven’t put on weight, was 2 stone over my ideal when I started and have lost half a stone however it’s been very slow progress and I’ve made a lot of positive lifestyle changes around diet and exercise so disappointed at the slow progress - I’m guessing though that’s just an age thing in general though, unfortunately.

I put off getting HRT for a couple of years because of negative reports around it and have to say I am overall delighted.

I have everol 50 and use 1 x 100mg Utrogestan vaginally so no side effects , get a little bloated but it's worth it for the long list of other Meno symptoms it stops.

Oh right well I have tried the gel then evorel conti but had the bleeds constantly so was referred to a specialist dr who said to try this since starting hrt 2yrs ago I have put on 6lb but had lost a lot of weight before so wasn’t to worried about that but then started bloating which I hate the bleeding constantly so was getting me down since waiting to see the specialist which took nearly 4 months i stopped my patch for 2 weeks till got my appointment and felt ok not started new stuff yet as had trouble getting the utrogestan so been a month with no hrt feeling down a bit due to issues at home and still bloated but sleep gone need to be on hrt unfortunately as got osteoporosis and it’s meant to help

No I’m using it continuously so hoping no bleeds

Did ask why couldn’t I up my everol conti but my gp said no and sent me to see a specialist
