    Hi Melanie, I am on HRT tablets called provera(little blue tablet) and also patches as I was getting irregular bleeding. If I were u check with your GP if these have the side effects you're going through. Since I've been on the provera and patches, I haven't had a bleed since, as I was having a bleed every 2 weeks, and it does get u down. I truly think you're on the wrong medication, but im not a doctor. If I were u, go and see your GP asap

      Hi Nicky1175, thanks for your replyx

      I did go to the doc after trying Elleste for 3 months, the white tabs were great but the effects from the green tabs didnt ease, 2 weeks of feeling fine and then 2 weeks she couldnt explain the rash and the bleed so has put me on Femoston, as she said they will stop the bloating. Only been on them about a week and nothing has improved, actually feel a bit worse the bloating hasnt eased and that is on the white tabs, dont know if it will calm down. I will go back again, thank you. Beginning to think that maybe they are not right for me.
