Lola Gizmo - what were your periods/cycles doing in the time (months etc) leading up to your starting HRT for the first time and were you on anything before that? ie how regular/irregular were your periods?

The thing is although Cerazette will control your cycle and prevent fluctuations it also depresses oestrogen levels. Depending on how far towards menopause you were when you started - replacing oestrogen as well could be beneficial. There are a couple of CCP types that are a bit like HRT - QLAIRA  is on such - these will control your cycle and theregfore the extreme flucations but also give you estradiol ( same as in HRT). The dose is variable from 1 -3 mg but there are only 2 tablet free days  so keeps things fairly even. It might be worht considering depending on how you feel after a few weeks or so on Cerazette?

Hi Hurdity x my cycles were differing every month and also sometimes light sometimes heavy beforehand.

I had bloods taken as my doctor said I was too young (44) at the time, and came back to say I was in peri. I know now from reading on this site that 44 is in no way too young at all.

I'm going to try sticking to this and keep a diary just to watch for any symptoms and take it from there.

Qlaria is definitely on my radar xx
