Hello there,
I am 48 peri menopausal started on Oestrogel 2 pumps and Utrogestan 100mg for 25 days (break for 4 to 5 days for period). Bit of testosterone if required. (I switched to taking Utrogestan vaginally for better sleep).
Initially I felt fantastic almost immediately. My brain fog lifted my memory was better and I just felt so much better.
I found the testosterone too much so I stopped that. From zero libido to crazy!
Then I started to have tingling breasts, looked it up and saw it may be too much Oestrogel so reduced this to 1.5 pumps. Tingling went away.
Now 4 or 5 months in I am feeling back to rubbish. Brain fog, can't remeber names or normal words like house for goodness sakes!
I'm irritable and angry and my hair is just falling out all over the place. I have long hair and it's about half the thickness now it usually is. Mood is terrible. I'm so tired and back to terrible insomnia. Feeling just horrible and fed up with myself.
Really I feel like just throwing it all away. I know I should return to the doctor up in Harley Strert but it's so expensive and we can't really afford it as all the tests they do push the bill up enormously.
I know this is a trial and error thing and I do get my prescriptions from my GP do I see him? He seems not to know much about it all.
Sorry everyone, having a bad day
and just can't seem to make any decisions. I'm just totally fed up with this all. I absolutely hate myself my emotions are erratic and I'm so angry!!!! For no reason!
. Literally can not control myself emotionally. Periods are still a nightmare.
Can anyone help guide me please?
Thank you x
