Hey Jari
Honest answer is I thought it would be the answer to all my prayers but in reality it probably isn't!!
My main symptoms are increased silent migraines (no headache just aura) with numbness and tingling in hands, arms and face. Nausea most days which I'm trying to correct by eating little and often and it's helping. I have been diagnosed with osteopaenia from a bone scan in July - just mildly, so it can be sorted with calcium + vit D Forte supplements (which are bloody horrible and make me feel sick too lol).
Looking back, I've had the dry bits, itchy skin (now better btw) libido is a bit lower. Typical tearfulness.
I do remember reading on here that symptoms do tend to rev up around your last period. Well my last natural one was in April I think. I had one bleed with the one month cycle of Novofem that I tried during June. Since then I feel like my body is revving up for a period, i.e. nagging period pain, irritable, bit loose in the tum. That's stopped over the last few days but I'm still aware of my womb at the mo if you understand me. Not an ache but it's there.
I think I may have had a few flushes - to me I am "blushing" over my body but not dripping with sweat, and they don't last more than a minute or so.
The progesterone in the Novofem (norethisterone) seemed to really affect me. I was very "wired". I can only describe it as surges of adrenaline that would come out of nowhere. I've had panic attacks in the past (but not for 20+ years or more) and it doesn't feel like that, but say you were about to do a bungee jump....just this whole body-clench kind of whoosh that makes your heart thud! I was definitely more snappy too, and I also noticed that I seemed to be losing a more hair than usual on the tablets.
