Some women experience mild fluid retention or weight gain, especially in the first months. This is usually temporary and can be managed with diet and exercise.

Moderate alcohol consumption is generally safe. Excessive drinking may affect liver function and hormone metabolism; always follow national guidelines (≤14 units/week).

Question 4

What should I do if I miss a dose and get spotting?

If you miss a tablet by more than 12 hours, skip it and continue as normal. Spotting is common after missed doses and usually resolves with consistent daily use.

Yes, but with caution. Your doctor will assess your individual risk and may recommend more frequent breast screening. HRT slightly increases breast cancer risk, especially with long‑term use.
