      Ive not had periods for 25 years due to an op. Started menapause last year but just started the tablets. Was worried in taking them.

    Yes i have used for 3-4 years, its ok to use. Your body needs time to get used to of the external harmone. Lately i moved to cyclo progynova (cp) due to having some strange side effects like extreme dryness in vagina which causes tiers and fissures in vagina, which healed very quickly, but get inflammed and uncomfortable. So i decided to go back to ellest duet with some extra estrogen via vagina to control dryness. I hope it works.

    I started these 3mths ago. They are working no hot flashes feel so much better. The green tablets gave me a itchy feeling to start with. Seem to bleed for 10 days but only lightly. Hope you feel better on these

    Hi sue

    Wish I could help you, as I am totally different medication to yourself. I'd suggest if you're having side effects, go back to your doctor and discuss other medication. I'm currently on provera tablets and Evorel 50 patches
