Hi all
I'm new to this site and desperate for help and advise.
I am 42 years old and in early menopause. I started taking Fermaston 1/10 last Sept and to start with it changed my life, I felt like myself again! No sweats, thin skin, going to toilet 5 times a night ect, I had my life back!
Then in Dec three months after taking it, they stopped working. No period for three months and the sweats ect slowly started creeping back. Doc said prob needed a higher dose so put me on Fermaston 2/10 but asked me to see a gynocologist just to check all was ok. I started taking the new dose and eventually 2 months later I started feeling ok again. In the meantime I had a scan which showed a polyp and thick womb lining of 9mm.
I went in for a hysteroscopy, with biopsy and polyp removal under general. Three weeks ago - I was told to stop HRT immediately when I came round and that gyno would see me in 6 weeks, yes 6 weeks in clinic to see what to do next.
He called me after a week to say the results were non cancerous and no pre cancer either which was a relief and that they couldn't find the polyp??? and he said we will discuss options when I see him on the 9th Sept.
In the meantime my head is running wild with why? How? and ifs??
If it's not cancer or pre cancer, what is it and what caused it? If it's HRT that caused it, then if I switch to a different HRT, why wouldn't it happen again? If it wasn't HRT, how will I get rid of it and make sure it doesn't come back?
Also being taken off HRT so appruptly has left me really down, sore boobs, and with what I can only discribe as a brain fog, I can't think! But weirdly, my sweats have not come back yet? Is this normal?
And help or advise would be greatly appreciated. Sarah
