Hi. How are you. Strangely I have been struggling with the thoughts again. I did the Evorel Conti in the end and I did pick up. I have had bleeding though and this in turn leads to the crippling thoughts. Just had 2 weeks from hell. I don’t know the answer except keep on trucking. I guess I am susceptible to these thoughts I have extremely bad health anxiety. Would be great to hear from you. Lynn xx

This is a stressful time of year plus all the World events which are impacting on heating and food costs.

Welcome back Lynn. Intruisve thoughts are very distressing. Do you remember what you found helpful when you had them before?

Not really I think when you are in the middle of you you can’t really see a way out. I am overwhelmed and not coping very well. My mood is low maybe my patches have stopped working.

I can understand that. It can be overwhelming. Perhaps you need a tweak to your HRT? Is your GP supportive about menopause? You could talk to them about adjusting it.

I also get intrusive thoughts, they aren’t nice.

Have you thought about some CBT to help with these?

Also, I think I’m right in that some people struggle with the Notheristerine for progesterone. Have you thought about another method of hrt? Maybe separate oestrogen and progesterone?
