Hello to everyone,
I'm new here, menopausal for quite a while!!
Was on HRT for a long time, in my wisdom I decided that I must be almost through the worst of menopause by now, so I decided to cut waaaaaaaaay down on HRT....
Boy! Was I wrong. Hot flushes day and night are worse than ever!
Not sure what to do now,
Really appreciate any advice
Thanks
Brody

Hi Brody and wekcome.
Not sure of your age, meno status and what you've used before?
The view of most meno/gynae specialists now is the transdermal route and if you have a prob with synthetic progestins then utrogestan is usually suggested as its a bio-identical progesterone ie the same as our natural progesterone.
Have a rummage around on the site for more detail and I'm sure someone will be along soon with further info/suggestions.
Good luck

Hi Brody. Have you got a medical reason for wanting to stop HRT? Some women don't get a return of symptoms but others find they are still in the same place as they were before going onto HRT. There is no way to tell whether you would be one of the ones whose hot flushes were over in a couple of years or whether you would one of the unfortunate ones who end up having flushes for years and, sometimes, the rest of your life.
I have come off it three times (I'm 62 now) and each time the symptoms return within three months or so. Some say that flushes will gradually improve over three to six months but that hasn't happened for me I'm afraid.
As Dawncam says it would help to know your age and what type of HRT you have used before and how long a "long time" is?
