Birth Control Pills as a form of HRT?

[Esmeralda3]

Thanks Sarah, appreciate your response

No, see here

It increases the risk of blood clots which can really mess you up. It could stop you taking HRT in the future or having surgery.

If you're thinking of taking that you should see a doctor, and if its a doctor suggesting it find another one as soon as possible.

But i know some of my friends using microgynon 30 for a year now and they are fine... 

So, what else then is a better alternative...?

That's because its a risk not a certainty. Like smoking - it doesn't kill everyone. Not worth it though when there so much better HRT available.

Is microgynon safe to use ?

Also, how can i put photo in my profile ?

Hi peeps 

so went to the endo  for the first time and we had a quick chat and he sent me on my way with my hrt prescription in hand.

the thing i seem to be confused on is that he actually just prescribed me cis female birth control pills and no t-blockers...

now I'm not going to start second guessing my endo's methods or anything like that, im just wondering if anyone else has had similar or heard of similar??

from what i hear birth control pills have such small amounts of oestrogen (this one is an oestrogen/progesterone combo) that they wont do much, especially without a t-blocker. i have googled my heart out trying to find similar stories but everyone says that BCP dont work...

You said you went to the Endo for the first time, had a quick chat and he gave you a prescription.

So he didn't order any blood labs to give you a hormonal base line?
Gave you a prescription for cross hormonal replacement therapy after a quick chat?

I wouldn't trust him. He knows nothing about you and doesn't sound like he really cares.
