Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Thanks, @Vvraptor :-)

I guess that makes sense if it's safer. I take quite a low dose so I hope it will be available in that strength. I'll be better prepared now when the conversation comes up.

There are dose conversion charts for switching between oestrogen formulations, @Little Nemo and the dose of all the transdermal preparations is adjustable. I was told to use two squirts of Lenzetto, or I could start with just one and see whether it worked. I've gone with two, and if that resolves my one troublesome symptom I'll try reducing the dose.

I got a text late this afternoon from the surgery letting me know that if I was using weight loss injections my HRT might not protect my endometrium. An adverse effect I was aware of though it wasn't mentioned in the consultation.

Surely the surgery knows you are unlikely to be on weight loss injections given your bmi?!

Not necessarily, there's apparently a non-zero amount of misuse of privately prescribed weight loss injections by people of normal weight and/or with eating disorders.

(The GP did check my notes for a recent weight measurement to make sure I wasn't overweight :) )
