HRT

[Lauraendo]

Hi is anyone on femi conti HRT for a full hysterectomy as I have heard i shouldnt be on this one?

[Marcia71]

Yes I’m on it and it is a good one for those who have had endo and a hysterectomy and ovaries out as it’s combined hrt and is less likely to stimulate any remaining endo.

[Lauraendo in reply to Marcia71]

Thanks Marcia. Iv heard we very mixed reviews about it and got worried.

[Marcia71 in reply to Lauraendo]

It is tricky to know but combined is best. Oestrogen only HRT is what usually causes endo to keep growing.

[Lauraendo in reply to Marcia71]

I was in tibolne for 3.5 years too.

[Marcia71 in reply to Lauraendo]

That too is combined and usually a good one to try as all synthetic. I’ve heard a few others have had problems on that but many don’t so try not to worry.

[Lauraendo in reply to Marcia71]

Thanks Marcia. I have a scan in 2 weeks to see if my emdo come back but my understanding an ultra scan doesnt pick up endometriosis

[Marcia71 in reply to Lauraendo]

It depends. Most recently I had a trans vaginal ultrasound that diagnosed deep infiltrating endo in the vault - created at hyster out of uterosacral ligaments - but it depends on the operator. They need to be highly trained.

How did you get on on it please

[Lauraendo in reply to Pinkmini]

My GP gave me these

[Pinkmini in reply to Lauraendo]

Sorry meant how did you feel on them

[Lauraendo in reply to Pinkmini]

Feel fine in myself. Hardly any flushes . Just bit worried about my backache, pelvis and hip pain. Scared endometriosis has come back. I hear ultrasound scans dont show endo feel it will be a waste of time

If you have had a hysterectomy with bilateral oophorectomy which is your uterus,tubes,ovaries then you do NOT need progesterone. You simply need oestrogen.

Hysterectomy is often not a fix for endo and it usually returns.

Progesterone is just not needed and it actually highers you’re risks to take combined hrt so I am not sure why that’s correct really

[Lauraendo in reply to CatMcmuffin]

Hi thanks for your advise hun. Quite a fee people have said i am on the wrong HRT? Bit worrying isnt it all the pains returning have been about when my HRT changed.. bet scan wont reveal anything.
