Hi @annalourenzo Don’t be worried. Remember just about every single medication we are given has a list of scary side effects, which are usually very rare.

Ive been on oestrogel 2 years and progesterone capsules (just different brand from yours, probably exactly same thing) 2 years as well.
They have helped greatly with my meno symptoms and I haven’t had any side effects from them. I had a period of gynae issues last Sept to Feb, but this seems to have largely resolved, from my stopping the minipill and adopting a healthier lifestyle (currently working on all this).

Give it all a try for a couple of months and see how it goes. Ask away if you want to know anything in particular about taking them, though we all differ of course!
