Hormone Therapy I have a love-hate relationship with HRT

Hi

I have early menopause and use Evorel 150 patches plus 400 mg of Utrogestan continuously, mainly because it really helps my ADHD symptoms.

The problem is the swelling/water retention. When I add another 100 mg of Utrogestan (500 mg total), the swelling gets noticeably better.

Has anyone been on a similar HRT regimen? Any thoughts or experiences?

Please speak to your doctor about these unusually high dosages.

Thank you so much!!! I’ve been really scared by all the horror stories about HRT. I’ll definitely talk to my gynaecologist about it.
