Who has good news about taking HRT?
i am 11 days in on KLIOVANCE.
Two doctors and a specialist have told me I will not know my self in three months.
And I will feel like I am 25 again!
Anyone else have these result on HRT?

You sound very negative to be on it???! Give it a chance. If you're experiencing unwanted symptoms then it might improve them?
I'm on patches myself so not familiar with what you've been put on but there's swaps you can make if you don't like that specific prescription for whatever reason...down the line. However keep positive and good luck with it

Hi
I think if you feel like you are 25 again then that's positive in my book!
I wish felt that way and have been on HRT for eight months now. It takes time for the HRT to get into the system hence the GP saying you won't know yourself n three months.
Good luck with it, if it's working great!

Enjoy .............. some ladies find that they need to use HRT for several months to feel benefit.  We are all different.

It's a bit like how long that piece of string might be  .  R U surprised?

It's about quality of life for me, so much better on HRT, completely life changing for me, although wouldn't go so far as saying I feel like I'm 25 again, although maybe on the odd day!!! x

HRT will stop hot flushes, night sweats etc but make you feel 25 I wish.

For me it enables me to get a decent nights sleep without constantly being woken up due to drenching night sweats. It enables me to think straight without anxiety and panic attacks which had reached the point that I was barely able to function at work and was seriously thinking of giving it up.

11 days isn't long enough to gauge if Kliovance is the right HRT it takes several months to feel the full benefits and it's definitely not a time machine.

I don't know if I would like to be 25 again   

Let your body absorb the product - keep a mood/symptom/food diary to chart progress.  If side effects are bearable, stick with it?  What would you like to ease first?

HRT has made a massive difference for me!

[Penelope]

Thank you so much for the positive replies,That is  what I am looking for I can not tell you how excited I am to be on it after feeling so sick for so long.I was hoping to be flooded with good news stories about being on it?

[Foxylady]

You just need to give it time Penelope, and it might be that you might have to try different doses or different HRT's before you get what is right for you but it takes time. What works for one doesn't necessarily work for another & sometimes it takes a combination of factors eg lifestyle changes, diet, exercise etc to get things more on an even keel. All the best. x

hi foxylady

which hrt do u take again ?

[Penelope]

Day 14 and I seem to humming along nicely no side effects yet apart from a slight sore tummy twice a day just for a few minutes nothing needing meds or anything.
I am feeling lighter as in more easily able to get up and move around physically.
Hot flushes have halved in frequency
And the intensity of them is nearly nil.
Sleeping better but still waking twice a night like I did with hot flushes but now no flush so I am thinking it s habit.So will take some CBD oil to see if that will break that habit.
Brighter in thinking 🤔
Thanks for all the messages.xx

When i started HRT, Mirena and Estrogel, the VA improved, no night palpatations and i sleep really well. I do not feel particulary energised and still have aches and pains though, but maybe i need to work on other area, going to look at diet and exercise in new year.

Well as I've been going through the menopause since I was 25 I would like to feel like 24 
Like others have said one size dose not fit all so I'd keep notes, how you feel etc, what symptoms have gotten better etc.
I have felt better on my patches, more energy, less sweats, not as flat but took me a while to find my suited HRT. But have always kept notes.
Good luck and stay positive xx

I am now up to day 19 on my HRT all side effects have gone if that is what you could call them they were very mild.I noticed on day 17 A huge increase in lubrication down there wow the toilet paper slid straight through it gave me rather a shock because I have never thought I had become dry.And have never been able to understand women saying they were dry.Surprise surprise.

Night 18 I had my first full nights sleep in 8 months and have been flushes free for the past three days.
My husband says I am amazing on HRT and he has noticed a huge difference in me.Most of all he thinks  I am much happier.
Last night I did observe a feeling of happiness for the future and I have not had that for over 26 years so that was different.
Merry Christmas 🎄 to you all And a Happy New Year 🥳 to all you lovely ladies.
I will update in another few days.
