Well I'm now back to thinking my problems are HRT related and I just needed more estrogen, seeing 4 pumps of gel was only getting me to 283pmol. And some of that was my own estrogen. So when I drop low from my own ovaries, maybe I'm crashing to nothing because I'm not getting enough from HRT. The last 2 months I've had bad nights back again around my period, which tends to suggest low estrogen to me...

I am generally doing much much better but whether that is the switch to gel and gradually increasing it (now at 5 pumps) or whether that's the T3 remains to be seen. I did some thyroid bloods last week and am waiting for results (it takes 2 weeks for rT3 results as bloods have to go to US), so that will be interesting.

I think when we are peri our own hormones are really swinging around in the background. They cant be underestimated. I am pretty sure mines are rollercoasting right now and I am also having to cater to moving from gel to patch because of the new gel bottle issues. So many moving parts to consider!

Hi Joziel as you know, I’m not really knowledgable  about thyroid but it def may be better to go privately to a good endo in uk if needed, then they can prescribe on nhs?  From what I read thyroid issues need specialist assessment & treatment.  I think menopause can throw in all sorts of spanner’s, getting your hrt may well sort things🤞x
