Hi everyone
Went to visit the doctor the other day, as fed up of feeling anxious, overwhelmed, weepy, low self esteem ect - usual meno symptoms!!
I had a full hysterectomy including ovaries in May this year at the age of 42. Went on sandrena gel 1mg after 4 weeks and everything was ok. Went back to work full time in September as a teacher and that's when problems started.
I have a feeling that my oestrogen levels have continued to fall after my op and now have no reserves left and that's why I am having the problems now.
Anyway went to visit the doctor and asked to up my dose of gel, she said she wanted to get some advice from senior doctors. Asked about testing my levels of oestrogen and testosterone but the answer was still no!
She rang me back yesterday saying she had taken advice and that they had had some women who hadnt had success with the gel as it wasn't being absorbed properly and that she said she has written me a prescription for prempak, a lose dose to see how I get on! And if I still was feeling the same they would then test my hormones!!!
Researched prempak and it's an oestrogen and progesterone mix, which I don't need as no longer have a womb!!! Not wanting to have pregnant mares urine in my body thank you very much!!
Can anyone shed any light on this decision? Has anyone been on prempak and has any success??
Any advice extremely welcome!
Thanks you xxxx
