Hi Kathleen,
to be honest i do not know where i am on my menopause journey, it's primarily because i'm still on the mini pill and not had periods for many years. I'm in my early 50s and i had some tests done with my GP who said i was menopausal (i originally went because of insomnia /migraines problems. I had other niggling issues but i thought i could deal with those things like anxiety, dryness, sweating head/chest at night etc. They weren't my priority but of course, still need sorting out.
It's been a lot of guesswork on my part but for now, it seems like the extra dose from the progesterone cream is sorting things out. I didn't put much hope in it but having the terrible HRT experience i was happy to give it a go. Of course, over time it may not work as well, i may have to add oestrogen cream too or look at different options. We'll see but it's doing the job for now. Sam
