    My doctor has put me on oestrogen only tablets to start with but when I saw my consultant she said I should have tried the patches. Much easier and less side effects. The tablets are cheaper on the NHS apparently!! Trying to decide whether or not to go back and ask to change. My hot flushes have stopped but I've put about 7lbs on which isn't so good. Interested to find out how other people get on.

      Thats what I found with tablets and gel you should go back to your doctors that what I did and she put me on patches you only put them on twice a week so far so good as I suffered very bad hot flushes I've only been on them a day and already I feel more comfortable

    Hi Caroline. I was on them for a few days after I came out of holidays but when I went back to get catheter out my surgeon changed them to the once a week ones and I've been on them almost 7 months now and I haven't had any problems. X
