I've come to the conclusion that HRT doesn't do anything for me. Apart from wakeful sleeping and general fatigue, I never had any physical symptoms - mild night sweats, no hot flushes etc - even after a year without periods. My mood was bad, my emotions quick to turn, and I often felt sad/emotional
My reasons for going on mirena and oestrogel (now Evoret) were because of osteoporosis threat. I was only 46, turning 47 and my mum and sister have osteoporosis.
Roll on 18 months, and I honestly don't think that anything has changed. I still feel either irritable, angry or deeply emotional. I don't feel happy. And I feel sad that I don't feel happy because I have a good life, lots to feel thankful for.
I'm thinking of ditching HRT and turning to anti-deps.
I don't know why I'm posting, I've said this stuff before, I just suppose I feel in a circle with it all
