Oh Hurdity after the year I've had I can't believe that just 0.5mg three times a week is enough to get rid of my symptoms......I'm no medic but assume 1.5mg per week is a low dose and I'm thinking I will use it every day for a week or so to get the levels up and then return to my old regime . I will definitely, going forward, try an HRT break to see how that goes, but for now I'm looking forward to the estrogen loving my body again and making me love life again. Thanks for all your thoughts and encouraging posts.

Why, with the new Guidelines, even consider reducing if HRT eases symptoms?  That bus might be alone in the morning  so why 'waste' time thinking that you ought to try stopping?  One doesn't stop eating/diabetic medication/exercise  age is simply a number, it shouldn't determine who we are nor what we choose to wear; it shouldn't determine what we eat nor what GPs are prepared to prescribe!  After all, if we are well we don't go to the Surgery and it costs the NHS less!

I think it's valuable to share our experiences of coming off HRT even though we're all different! I am very interested to read about what everyone's tried and how they felt. I don't think there are many of us on here who are enamoured of having to take progesterone and/or bleed for ever, but we all want to reap the benefits of oestrogen!!!

Anyway - hope it does the job skkb - do let us know!

I am still trying to find the balance & I have fought taking medicine but hrt helps my bladder pain. I still have aches but I think they are hormonal emotionally based. It makes me Sad that if I'm stressed my whole body hurts. I wish I was hard
