Hi Donna, I cant comment or advise on hrt but sending my heartfelt symapthies as I'm feeling the same right now, if I'm not crying then I feel about to or feel venomous...its just bloody awful isnt it....Love n hugs to you xxx

I had great success with estradot for 7 weeks then my own hormones kicked in. As I've had ovaries shut down now don't know if they would work better. Struggling with anxiety today but tears & bleeding stopped. Feel so close to getting there I had great few days last weekend and had changed nothing but went haywire again.  So frustrating is an understatement. Trying relaxation & mindfulness and keeping busy x

Maybe just a wee blip...fingers crossed fot you Donna xxx

Hi Donna

sounds like your getting closer.

The tingling I've not really experienced however lack of vits and minerals can cause that effect too.

Also you mentioned "Are chills the same as flushes with lack of estrogen? Hoping to get consultant tomorrow"

Estrogen affects how we deal with temperature. Since your not pushing so much in within one short period then this part will take time to settle back down.

Also could it maybe just the be the weather getting a bit colder at the moment. I know I've felt chills last week and it was down to the bad weather for me

Give it a chance to settle down for now.

Slowly feeling improvement today still too nervous to get excited x

[TropicalVon69]

Lol just have to enjoy it while the goings good eh!!!

[donnacrichton]

Bad tears again this morning again and consultant on a weeks holiday. Still on 3 pumps but been splitting the dose.  Bleeding still stopped which is good but emotional and burning shoulders. Is there any end to this?

[GypsyRoseLee]

I know just how you feel Donna, and I really sympathise you're going through this. It is awful.

I'm not on HRT yet, but am struggling with peri menopausal symptoms which are pretty much all psychological. I have been fine for a few months but this week the anxiety has come back again, and I feel quite tearful and fearful all the time. I have also been feeling quite chilly too which really isn't like me at all (usually very warm blooded).

I just don't know when it's going to start. Right now as I'm typing to you I feel pretty okay, but this afternoon I felt shaky and tearful. I have no idea how I'm going to feel when I go to bed? How will I feel tomorrow?

I was hoping that HRT would get rid of all these emotional ups and downs, but reading your post has (sadly) made me realise that this isn't the case 

Does the emotional roller coaster finally stop once you're out the other side of the menopause? Anyone know?

[GypsyRoseLee]

Oh forgot to mention that my appetite seems to have disappeared too. This means I have lost nearly a stone in the last 3 months which is good (was slightly over weight before and I'm now a healthy weight for my height) but it's a bit odd to never really feel hungry anymore.

Just to say I too get the chills, especially when my oestrogen is low. I get the weird tingling too, but usually in my shoulder. x

I agree with hurdity - it seems quite an extreme approach by your consultant! I could never get stable on gel - too high, too low - was a bloody nightmare! Love the patches so may be worthwhile re-trying them now that you have had your own hormones suppressed? When I was on estrogel I did use to spread mine throughout the day.

Hope you feel better soon

[donnacrichton]

Thanks everyone now on 41/2 pumps a day split into 2 doses. Feeling massive relief no bleeding or admiration. Feeling hopeful but still nervous opening eyes in the mornings never imagined how difficult this could be x

[donnacrichton]

Agitation lol

[GypsyRoseLee]

BRIONY - I felt very chilly this month, and keep getting weird tingling/prickling sensation down the backs of both legs. That would tie in with low oestrogen, as it during days 1-7 of my cycle. is this when your levels are lowest?

[Briony]

I know my GP said get my levels checked on day 5 as this was when they would be low before starting to rise again, so what you say makes sense. The chills are weird, aren't they? I have even had them when exercising. Sweating and shivering at same time - bizarre!
