Menopause question re progresterone
Posted , 3 users are following.
HI all, I was prescribed Oestraclin Estradiol 0.6mg gel in Spain. I have been rubbing it in my arm once a day and it has soothed some of my menopause symptoms. I am home now and two questions. Is this bioidentical HRT and how long before it takes effect? As I still have a Uterus, I prob need a small dose progesterone cream also. Can I get this in a health food shop as I tried a pharmacy and they said I need a prescription. Can anyone recommend a low dose cream or a brand name and what is the normal small dose amount? Thanks..
I was also getting mad itching and I'm hoping this will improve...(like ants on my skin)

Thanks for reply. I need to get bloods done. I did get bloods to find out I went thru the Menopause. I was just in Spain so I got this cream over there. I am getting hot flushes, weight gain around middle, itchy skin, feeling low.... I def have a hormonal imbalance. Is it not something you should be on for a while. If you go off them will symptoms not reappear? I will def get all my tests done on this... I was hoping I could get a progesterone cream in a health shop...it's just a case of finding the right amount of each for me..

Do you use a prescription progesterone cream? Or one that can be bought on line or in a store? If you buy it online or in a store would you give specific brand name of cream? You may have to private message me the name.
I am trying to figure out what progesterone cream to buy.
I appreciate it very much.
Thank you.

Yes the one I have is prescription, but I do have another one that is as close to progesterone you can get and I order it online, but I can't put the name on here.
