Lilian I think the Mirena coil makes periods lighter, so maybe a combination of Oestrogel and a Mirena might be the best thing. You could see a new GP and request them, you could show them this thread so you have some backup information. Judging by this thread you should be able to get them.

right now , i am so scared something bad (health related) has already happened to me. anxious thoughts made me instantly  felt severe nauseous, then I sweat , shaking,

lilian, I'm not a medic but it doesn't sound like anything serious to me.   Heavy bleeding is very common.   I completely understand your health anxiety but like migraines, it's yet another symptom of hormonal instability during menopause, they are all connected.

I think you need to start an HRT regime and then look at other medication for migraine prevention and perhaps anxiety if needed.

today is  another bad day, outside very hot, have to hand wash some underwear, while doing it ,gloom doom thoughts come to my mind .., felt suddenly nauseous, gaging, sweat, body felt rigid ... horrible experience   can not ever managing the little stress like this......

lilian, try some HRT.

By the way, I used to get migraines before HRT. Since starting HRT, I have only had one - since March. I used to get them several times a week. For me, they were caused by low estrogen. Or maybe the desogestrel pill I was also on.

Migraines with aura is NOT a reason you can't have HRT. You need to have a transdermal kind - so a patch, gel or spray.

As for bleeding, it's hard to predict what the effect will be but like someone else said if you keep having heavy periods then the Mirena coil might be best if you want to try it. The Mirena after 6 months stops all bleeding and it stays in place for 5 years.

If you have heavy periods you probably also are low in iron, which is going to make you feel more tired and exhausted....
