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 ![]() |
