I finally got a script for Climara...a very low dose of estrogen for my HOT FLASHES!!! Has anyone else been on this or tired it? Comments welcomed...Thanks in advance. Gina

I have used it for 5 months and it's wonderful. But every 6 months I need to get a script for Prometrium. Except when I went to the Doc she talked me into trying Climara Pro and like a dummy I forgot to ask if it had progesterone and not progestin, and I already mailed in the prescription. Dang, now I don't know what to do, I don't want to use progestin!

HI , Paterd

After I had my hysterectomy, the hospital used the incorrect Climara patch. They used Climara Pro while I was still in the hospital. I felt terrible on Climara Pro. Actually they were supposed to give me plain Climara. The Climara patch felt like it worked strongly in the first day or two and then it did not seem to control my night sweats and hot flashes very well. Pete the pharmacist from Ask the Experts told me he preferred the patch Vivelle Dot. It sticks well, does not irritate my skin. The Climara Pro patch is a progestin and you do not want to use it if you want natural hrt. You might want to speak to your doctor about the Vivelle Dot patches.
