Hi all
I initially started on tablet form HRT, then after a couple of years started the patches, twice a week. Yes they really did help with my emotional symptoms, but most of all helped me feel normal rather than always feeling not myself but couldn't really put my finger on it. I have felt ok and normal since I came off it, which is good.
I was pleased they offered me the hysterectomy at the hospital, as yes they were taking my symptoms serious, and I didnt worry as much about symptoms returning and being left with no HRT. When I had hospital appointments previously I felt bullied to come off it, I refused to. I came off it this time as a. I wanted to , and, b. they offered me the hysterectomy . I felt that their attitude had completely changed, not mine.
Yes I had always had the regular bleeding regime, but hated it. I worried that taking progesterone all the time would make me feel awful, as it had before and after the bleed.
