Progesterone intolerance. Prescribed Duavive but my mood plummeted after 2 weeks.

Hi Ladies, has anyone tried Duavive? There seems to be little info on personal experiences with this Hrt. This is my last chance Hrt so some advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

    Hi Susan,

    Have you tried bio identical hormone replacement? I think Duavive is a synthetic estrogen and that might be your problem more than the progesterone. Some women can't tolerate high doses of progesterone either. What kind were you using on the progesterone? Creams or pills? I do OTC natural progesterone cream and do very well on it. If you have been prescribed a synthetic progesterone that could be the problem too. I do not know why doctors prescribe synthetic estrogen and progesterone when their is natural hormones they could prescribe that our bodies know what to do with and recognize. A good doctor that runs lab work regularly and knows what their doing is very important. Could mean the difference between success or failure for you. I have been on bio identical creams and have had no problem with them. Recently had pellets implanted and feel good with them too. Good luck
