Climagest HRT

I saw my GP today and asked if her would put me on HRT. Yes, it's 'the change'! I've been having sweats in the night which wake me up and it's horrible. I guess feeling low sometimes and lack of energy could be put down to it as well. Recent thinning hair problems could also be due to the menopause. Anyway, he went through a few things and suggested the lowest dose of combined pill he could find which was Climagest 1mg taken daily. The first 16 blue pills contain 1mg of estradiol valerate. The remaining 12 white pills contain the same plus 1mg of norethisteron which is a man-made form of progesterone. I am thinking positive, hoping that I will feel much better and not have any more hot or night flushes, but at the back of my mind I am expecting all sorts of horrendous side effects. I am really not sure if I am doing the right thing by taking these pills but hey ho. We'll just have to wait and see.
