LindsD Nov 2024 4:27pm, 20 Nov 2024 71,102 posts	0 LindsD I fear that may be so. I felt like I couldn't really criticise without seeing what she had to say, but not sure I want to expend the time.

DrMags Nov 2024 4:51pm, 20 Nov 2024 314 posts	0 DrMags For (possible) interest re: taking continual oestrogen and variable progesterone for HRT. I live in Norway, and my prescription consists of oestrogen delivering patches, and synthetic progesterone tablets (Primolut-N 5mg) taken daily for 2 weeks at the start of a 12 week block, so 14 days on then 10 weeks off. Quite different to NHS protocols. So presumably there is no definitive research for what protocol gives best benefit vs risk ratio 🤷🏻‍♀️
