Morning.  That's it from the Gynae then  .  Not much support?

Get thyself onto a waiting list for a dedicated menopause clinic for proper advice.  Some do find that periods are heavier and/or more painful.  For me it was, fortunately, the other way: I had excruciating periods for many years 

Some find that keeping a mood/food/symptom diary of use to chart progress.  How old might U B and what R your periods doing?  More, less, gaps ........

Yes! They were painful with pms before children, then stopped being painful when I first started peri as periods became much shorter and lighter. But since starting hrt at the end of last year, I now have normal length bleeds now with a heavy couple of days and they hurt more now. Sometimes even into the second day which they never did previously. I think it's the estrogen being increased so more to shed.

I'm 47. My periods last year were quite heavy and ver erratic. Sometimes I would get 2 a month or every 3 weeks, now however there much lighter and currently nearly 3 months with nothing but still have all the symptoms it's on its way every month. Yes gyne have discharged me telling me to get the mirena, which I don't want. Have an appointment on Monday to discuss HRT again.

Who is the appt with? 

You have my sympathy.  'feminax' I think cured my pains for a few years.  Take a list of your symptoms with you to the appt.?

GP but supposed to be good with womens stuff. I read the consultant letter and in it she said to prescribe me bio identical HRT so hopefully should be fairly straight forward to get

Had GP appointment this morning and been prescribed gel and utrogestan. The GP says I cant take the utrogestan vaginally as its not liscenced to be used thar way. I'm going to do it anyway as I know it can be used that and the side effects are less for me. Shes put me on the utrogestan for 2 weeks of cycle at 200mg so my question is what dose would you take vaginally and does anybody else use it this way? Thanks

I think you're doing the right thing taking it vaginally. Unfortunately it is the same dose whatever route you take unless you are having regular scans to check womb lining.
