Hi
Does anyone 2mg take oestrogen tablets, instead of transdermal?

Im struggling with transdermal, just not absorbing properly I don't think. I've tried the patches, gel and spray.

I also tried femeston conti 1/5 briefly last year, but it wasn't enough oestrogen unfortunately.

Five years post menopause and really struggling with striking a balance, still!

I have a coil in for progesterone for now.

@JinglingSpringbells thanks very much.

Yes I've tried all the transdermal preparations and never feel great on any of them.

I've been on the 75, then 100 patch for months at a time, but feel wretched. Same with gel before that.

Currently have acute PMS right now and I'm 5 years post menopause.

Coil was fitted last May, due to continual post menopausal bleeding.

All was well for a good year or so, now bang, I feel wretched again.
Irritable, crampy, sore, low libido and so on. There's never any consistency @JinglingSpringbells Whenever I think things are back on track.. boom.. wrong!

Really don't know what to do.

I would like the coil out, but cannot even get that done simply.
