Am I on the wrong HRT?

Hello! I went to my Dr about a year ago after putting up with terrible night sweats, insomnia and general low mood for several months. Bloods came back showing reduced hormone levels ( no surprise there - I had just turned 50!) I was still having periods, albeit very infrequently. The Dr put me on Premique Low Dose, and within a couple of weeks I was feeling so much better! No sweats, and as a result sleeping better and feeling a lot more cheerful. But now they appear to have stopped supplying Premique LD, and the Dr has prescibed Femoston conti 1mg/5mg (which I haven't started taking yet). On doing a bit of research it seems that I really shouldn't be on a continuous tablet, if I was still having occasional periods? Is this really bad?? Also, the dosage of the new tablets seems too high, although I know that the active ingredients are a different formulation...are they comparable? Thank you for your advice!

My full patch of Climara Pro made me very weird and extremely down so I’ve since cut it in half ..... and will give that a try for a few weeks . I should have started on just 1/2 patch as I’m sensitive to medication but I was so desperate I just slapped that thing on !
