Hi I am a new member who is currently going through all the symptons off premenopause apart from the flushes :) hoorah. My periods are getting closer together each month and emotionally I feel like I am a bit crazy at the moment.  I'm coming up to 45 in July and I think I have been increasingly getting worse over the last year.  Part of me is relieved after reading the symptons that I haven't got anything nasty (itching down below etc and waterwork problems!). I can't decide what I feel about HRT so I'm looking forward to reading everyones experience to maybes help guide my decision.  Advice and humour for a weepy woman would be appreciated  :)

Suzi Q:
Sounds like you could have the start of Vaginal Atrophy the itch soreness?
Wanting to wee wee a lot
Get to GP asap dont leave it you need HRT cream Ovestin Ortho or Vagifem
It will only get worse and you dont want to end up in real pain I did I didnt kow what it was and was too scared
I didnt go on HRT I went on Ovestin HRT cream downsairs and mini pill as a ying and yang hormone wise
2010 after over 14 years on HRT creams and mini pill (went over at 37) I developed atrophy now Im on Vagifem
Not everyone needs HRT pills not everyone needs NOT to NOT take them its up to yourself
But me thinks the old fannys screaming gimmeee hormones down here nowwwwwwwwwww

Billie Blaster:
I think Corrblimey might have meant that she's relieved not to have got any of those nasty symptoms?

Taz2:
Yes I think that she is relieved that she doesn't have the itchies or waterwork problems Suzi  :lol:

Welcome to the forum Corrblimey you will find lots of support and information on here. The "nasty" symptoms often don't really kick in until you stop your periods - or they get further apart anyway - as this is when your oestrogen levels have dropped far enough for your body to be missing it. If this happens to you at least you will know what to do and what treatments to try!  I think that the decision HRT will probably be based on how you are feeling - if you are anything like me anyway. I was really undecided about it but, in the end, it became very difficult to function properly so I started it at age 54. I am 59 now.
