Hello all, I've been looking to this site for much needed reassurance for a few months now. You're all so fab, you feel like old friends though I've never posted till now. Back in April I started having awful nausea and tummy pain the day after my period. I suspected hormones as periods lighter and unreliable. Had fsh tested, came back 76, so doc said i prob was peri, though still had many tests, including endoscopy, bloods, pelvic scan, with me becoming more and more anxious with each test.After another horrible stomach bout in July, again straight after period, and having had few well days in between, then night sweats, fatigue, heart palpitations, headaches, every blooming thing hit at once. Docs finally seemed to accept i was peri(wish they were more up to date withmenopause)I reluctantly went onto hrt patches. Had three months on patches and eventually started to feel better. Sadly I couldn't get on with patches due to rashes & trouble keeping them on so five weeks ago went onto femoston 1/10 tablets. Was a little worried the dose was lower than patch but doc wanted to try low dose first. So now here I am back where I started in April with horrible all day nausea that only goes in the evening, anxiety awful again and I feel terrible
have moved up to femoston 2/10 as of yesterday as obviously need the higher dose. Didn't have any period on 1/10, think that's why anxiety back as well as dip in hormones on new tablet. I just want to be me again, fun mum, wife, daughter, employee not be this paranoid hormonal mess. Sorry for going on!
hugs to all x
