Post-Op members only: If you take prescription HRT, what kind do you take?

I am taking Premarin and a Estrogen with Testosterone tablet. Still trying to tweek this to balance it just right.

1 mg Estrace daily. Planning to switch to the patch soon.

Nothing

I take one Premarin (.65 mg) a day and it has really helped me since my surgery with the hot flashes and night sweats. Not so much with the chills that make my teeth chatter but much rather have that problem then the hot flashes and night sweats.

Hi all!! Im still using sample of Evamist spray that is to applied to inside arm above wrist. Not sure its working. Dr increased dose to two sprays before bedtime but hot flashes still terrible!! She told me if no better in a few weeks she can change meds to pill form. Im 42 so Im sure I will continue with flashes for a while. Had TAH 9-10-09.

.5mg Estradiol but I think 1mg because I am still having hot flashes.

Hi all, My Dr. switched me to the Evamist 1.53 mg. This contains 56 sprays. I am not sure that I like it for the fact that I keep forgetting to use it at the same time. I too am 42 she said that the I can regulate the mist to up to three sprays a day. This is a sample so I don't know the cost. I am only doing one for now and it seems to be working. I was on the patch which I liked. The Vaginal cream that I used with the patch gave me headaches. Dr. advise me to switch meds. Now I inject a tiny pill twice a week.

I had my TAH / BSO on 3/17/10. I have been taking vivelle dot 0.5 since hospital and am having no symptoms

I take 1 mg of norethinindrone (progesterone) daily. I have endo and can't take estrogen for at least 6 months post op. I noticed a decrease in hot flashes and mood swings (not all gone though) since taking the progesterone. My body does miss the estrogen, thinning hair, bone and muscle pain; but I don't miss 3 weeks of abdominal/pelvic pain and headaches every month.

After about 6-12 months of trying different combos I found the vivelle dot and compounded testosterone to be the magic combo. It's been 5 years and all is well unless I forget to renew my prescription!
