Body identical hormones as a replacement for Everol conti patches

Hi ,
I am interested in the body identical HRT, both progesterone and oestrogen as a replacement for my current Everol Conti patches (currently 4 years since last period, main problem sleep,mood, hair, brain fog, anxiety, flashes) . My current HRT suits me well but is driving the oestrogen and thickening my womb lining so need I need to change (biopsy all normal).
The current suggestion is the marina coil and topical oestrogen, which I really wanted to avoid, having had a coil before due to the side effects I suffered previously (20 years ago for contraception use rather than HRT) . Could you suggest which body identical hormone are available in England to use alongside the topical oestrogen that I can suggest to doctor to consider as they are not familiar with them and not keen to prescribe at present.
Many-thanks

In the UK, commercially available bioidentical products include an estradiol patch (eg. Estradot) plus Utrogestan.
Or Bijuva, which is is the only commercially available combination bioidentical product.
