Thanks for that jillydoll I needed to hear that about the anxiety and libido it is interesting how long and slow a process it is to regain optimal hormone health.
Just shows how we did not notice for such along time the gradual decline we were in to get to this point!

[Penelope]

Hi tinker bell are you feeling better now?How long have you been on it?xx😀

[Sgtvhilts]

Oh Yay.
Yes , it has changed my life (after a lot of tinkering about).  Not on Kilovance, but patches and pills.
THe only problem is going to be reduction!!, maybe when i'm 90 ish.
I even jumped a 5 bar gate a few weeks ago and the opposite sex are becoming interesting again.

So good to hear Sgtvhilts - why on earth would you even consider mentioning reduction!!!    There is no way I am ever giving up!!! I've only just started the life I should have had 20 years ago they will be prising my hrt out of my cold dead hands!!!
By the way where have you found an interesting member of the opposite sex???

Day 30

Hello every one I am now on day thirty of my HRT still having a few pimples and the anxiety is still there keeping it in check at present have not seen a great improvement there yet.

Still waiting on the libido just a bit would be good.I must admit I have never in my life had one.

Very wet down stairs.

I have slept through the night twice now.

I am not so good at waiting.😀

However I have come from waking every two hours every night for 6 months!

It is summer and I actually sleep with a light blanket now.

It has been 7 days since I had a flush.

Three weeks since I had the feelings of doom.

The emotions are all back to normal very tearful  for only the first two weeks.

The zombie tired also lifted at about the two week mark.

Back to teaching Tai Chi soon so I am really hoping the anxiety lifts soon!

Yep, me too.  I don't EVER plan on reducing.  Life is for living.  As for member of the opposite sex LOL i have a husband, but i am finding ogling 'talent' behind my shades fun again and Take That are more attractive than they were 5 yrs ago.  There is no hope for me......

[Ladybt28]

Oh I'm disappointed now Sgtvhilts, my testosterone hasn't managed to raise awareness of other "talent" for me it's just about managed to get me to ogle the resident talent!

[Sgtvhilts]

LOL😂

Hi Tinkerbell how is everything going for you?

[Penelope]

Day 40 HRT

Ok between day 30 to 40

Day 35 I had terrible depression it lasted 3 days then lifted.

Weight dropping off.

Also had a feeling in the tummy.

Day 36 I started getting hormone headaches every day.

Now only sleeping 8 hours a night I was sleeping ten hours a night a week ago.

Metallic taste in mouth.

Gone off coffee.

Seems to be a pattern with symptoms for 2-4 days then they change.

Benefits are still far outweighing the above.

Anxiety 90% settled.

Having times in the day when I feel so good and positive about the future!

I just can not  wait to take the pill every day so I can be further along😀

Hope my posting is helping someone else?

[Penelope]

Jollydoll. Thanks for your advice I have never in my life had a libido so to get one now would be
Scary,strange,and a bit exciting and a miracle.
Will keep you posted!xx

50 days on HRT Kliovance


After having depressions for four days 38-41 if lifted day 42 and has not returned.

Hormone headaches then started at day 40 till day 49 they lifted 2 days ago.

It feels like I am peeling back a Banana that has many many skins.

Weight loss is now 4 kg.Its like the metabolism switch has finally been turned to normal.

Bowel movements are now normal and regular.

Hemorrhoids are 80% better.

I am very surprised just what Hormones are responsible for.

Out of the blue on the 47th day this happened.

The best day ever!

I was totally free from anxiety
Free from any uncomfortable thoughts or feelings.


I felt like a child
I was warm and connected
I was confident
I felt I could conquer all.
I was excited
I felt ALIVE!

Happiness flowed from my heart and my being
I was light and floating,relaxed,optimistic

Never did I want that day to end.Oh how I wish it would come again.

Only those of you reading this that have been unwell for along time and have suffered Anxiety and panic and depression will fully appreciate what I just wrote.

If that one day is what I am going to gain being on HRT then I'm taking it forever.
They do say its only early days for me on HRT.

[Ladybt28]

whey hey Penelope      and there it is....the right track!  I don't want to put a downer on it but, you might have good days and bad days and wonder where the good days went?  Well the didn't go anywhere they are just levelling out!
I got sucked into the good days and then got disappointed in the early stages when I had 3 or 4 bad ones in a row thinking the good ones would never come back but they did.
So pleased for you!!

[Penelope]

You are so right LadyBT I feel slow and steady will win this race!Headaches are gone and now I have had three days of bad  thoughts and indigestion.These symptoms are nothing I have not experienced in the past 26 years at some time or another.That I have forgotten about.I find it really interesting 🤔

[Ladybt28]

"interesting" is not a word I would use for it all  x but whatever floats your boat Penelope
