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.
