FemSeven 50
Posted , 3 users are following.
I'm 44yo and started menopause symptoms last autumn. The worst being the hot flushes and disrupting sleep. It was no surprise I started early menopause as have other chronic health issues and my body seems to delight in doing things it shouldn't be doing and had only had 2 periods in previous 12 months.
Anyway, after blood tests confirmed it my GP started me on evoral sequi in December 2015 which were brilliant for the hot flushes but unfortunately I had horrendous reaction to the progesterone with it giving me nuclear level PMT. it left me feeling like I wanted to rip someone's head off. Didn't understand what was happening to me for couple of months as never had PMT before but after reading up on here realised I was intolerant to the progesterone so stopped the patches at Easter.
Hot flushes returned and sleeping was nightmare. I would be so shattered I would be in bed most if the weekend asleep.
Saw my GP again this week and after looking up different HRT options she prescribed me FemSeven but she's given me wrong ones as these have no progesterone in any of them. I know I need progesterone as still have womb and this makes it shed the lining. We did discuss 3 monthly HRT so it would reduce the progesterone to only every 3rd month.
Sorry for long post but hopefully someone will be able to answer my question, which is:-
Can anyone suggest a progesterone patch (cannot take tablets as have only tiny amount of bowel and cannot absorb them) which I could them use every 10-12 weeks and what is minimum number of days I could get away with using it whilst still ensuring it causes the womb lining to shed.
Thanks.

I am just starting to use them so I can't say anything about them. But I've been reading several books on peri and it's suggested for peri women.
