Hallo alle zusammen ...
Ich nehme Hormonin seit ich 29 bin und fand es brillant. Mit 50 schlug mein Hausarzt vor, dass ich es absetze und die Wechseljahre durchmachte, was er als normal für Frauen in meinem Alter bezeichnete.
Um es kurz zu machen, ich hatte eine schreckliche Zeit und mehrere Leute schlugen vor, dass es keinen Grund gab, es abzusetzen, also besprach ich es mit meinem Hausarzt und er setzte mich wieder darauf.
Jetzt wurde es eingestellt!
Ich bat um ein Ersatzmittel und er hat mir etwas namens Elleste Duet verschrieben, das völlig anders zu sein scheint!
Ich hatte eine vollständige Hysterektomie mit Entfernung beider Eierstöcke und Hormonin enthält drei verschiedene Östrogene, während dieses nur eines enthält ... Estradiol und Norethisteron.
Hat jemand ähnliche Probleme gehabt?
Vielen Dank

From what I read norethisterone is a progestogen which normally you do not need if you have had your ovaries removed too, unless you had endometriosis.
Trouble is it seems that things change a bit when we are off hrt for a while (you don't say how long) and when we go back on, we have to try to adjust again. I have been on oestrodiol in different forms but same full strength for 26+ years and I am not changing that. However, I had an undiagnosed pituitary gland tumour (prolactinoma) for 6 years which made my hrt ineffective during that time, and I feel like everything is not as perfect as it was before.
So you too may feel not as good as you did before. It is a crying shame that drs think we have to suffer menopause unnecessarily, and you could have been changed over straight away without having a 'gap' year or more. You can also use oestriol cream and/or vagifem pellets for dryness if necessary.
Hallo Sheryl und vielen Dank für die Antwort. Die Hysterektomie und die Entfernung der Eierstöcke erfolgten aufgrund von Endometriose, aber ich war 21 Jahre lang nur auf dem Östrogen-haltigen Hormonin. Ich bin sicher, der Gynäkologe sagte, ich bräuchte das Progestogen überhaupt nicht.
Ich bin jetzt seit 3 Jahren nicht mehr darauf. Obwohl ich eine dieser Tabletten eingenommen habe, habe ich keine weiteren mehr eingenommen, wegen dieser Sache.
Ich hatte überhaupt keine Probleme mit dem Hormonin, also scheint es keinen Grund gegeben zu haben, die Einnahme zu beenden, außer den Kommentaren dieses bestimmten Hausarztes, dass ich jetzt eine natürliche Menopause durchmachen sollte.
Ich bin seit drei Jahren nicht mehr darauf. Mein neuer Hausarzt hatte kein Problem, mich wieder darauf einzusetzen. Er schrieb mir das Rezept, das ich in drei verschiedenen Apotheken einzulösen versuchte, die alle sagten, sie seien nicht eingestellt worden, aber aus irgendeinem Grund gab es ein Versorgungsproblem. Allerdings las ich gestern im Internet, dass sie eingestellt wurden

I understand how you feel. I loved the convenience of oestradiol implanted pellets and then they stopped making them. I was on oestradiol patches topped up with gel for many years, but they did seem quite as good as the implants (apart from the rash I would get from the glue).
As I had found out that compound chemists were still making the pellets I decided I would go down that path, with a script from dr to get them and my gp implants it in my abdomen. They don't seem to last as long as the original ones but I still feel better. I am not being hit with a wave of symptoms because the patch has run out or because I forgot to replace it that morning. Cost was much the same as original many years ago, except for the extra of postage. So perhaps that is an avenue you could explore for your Hormonin.
The patches I used were Estradiol MX, the MX means matrix which allows the oestrogen to be absorbed slowly instead of in one hit. One large one a week caused too much rash discomfort and peeling off, so dr changed it to two smaller ones (still same strength) a week so I could replace patch in a different part of my abdomen or top of bottom. The gel was also estradiol.
I mentioned progesten because when I googled norethisterone, that is what it said it was, and perhaps you did not need it now. I, too, had a full hysterectomy because I had a tumour growing on the outside of it, and ovaries removed because of severe endometriosis. While I was put on the oestradiol implant immediately, it was a few years before a gp put me on progesterone when I mentioned my history of endometriosis. As I still had a lot of abdominal pain, purportedly from adhesions from the surgery, it was possible it was from any remaining endo being activated by the oestrogen.
Many years later I still have the pain, and it has not been investigated as to the which was causing what, because there does not seem to be any confidence in repairing either permanently, despite reading about laser surgery.
See if there is a local compound chemist near you, or ask you local pharmacy to suggest a reputable one.
It seems like meds that actually work get discontinued???
I find that happens many times.
