Is anyone using the Menostar patch?

Posted by tillymack @tillymack, 2 days ago

I've just been prescribed Menostar estradiol ultra low dose patch. Is anyone here using this to support bone health? Thank you.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Osteoporosis & Bone Health Support Group.

I have been on Menostar for 5 months for osteoporosis. I just started taking 50 mcg of progesterone cream. Since I don't have a uterus, I thought taking it alone would be alright. The medication insert seems to say that even with a uterus you can take it alone. I still have my ovaries, cervix and one tube. I have a history of endometriosis. In the last month, I have had right abdominal pain and an enlarged right tube. I'm hoping that the progesterone will help this. It sure helps me sleep. Good luck with the Menostar.

Thanks for your reply! Are you taking the brand name Menostar? Have you noticed any problematic side effects?

I still have my uterus. My doctor prescribed 14 tabs progestin once every 3 months.

How does the progesterone cream work? Is that systemic or local?

Thanks again.
