Hi I haven’t reached out for support lately after posting previously desperate for help. I really thought I was literally going mad over these  last couple of years and have had really bad days  I will always be grateful for the kind support I was given and really got me through those  bad times
. After many changes of hrt  changing from gel to patch and changing the  dose .Gradually I was feeling much better  and feeling more like me   i was going along nicely on my hrt routine , i noticed that my anxiety settled  and my body seemed really in control no more sleepless nights  or night sweats and generally much better.
 I am  currently  on 75 evorel  with nightly 100 Utrogestran . I have been on this dose since August last year . I have just turned 54
Everything was ok UNTIL last week and
I began bleeding and felt like my anxiety ramped up , horrible period pain ect
I noticed a couple of nights of sweats and waking at 4 just before the bleed  had heart palpitations feeling muddled in head particularly after the bleeding stopped. Got an appointment with dr who  did bloiods ect all came back fine .
Had ultrasound to check   Womb lining all fine
Dr did oestridiol blood test to see what my level was showing
My  oestridiol is 112 pmol
Could this be why ?
 is 112 low ?
Could it be that i am not absorbing the patch anymore
This episode has  really unnerved me ..
All of this  and not feeling  great again I i’sent a nice feeling . !  .
Any kind words of wisdom ?
Sending everyone who is suffering a massive hug

Hi Honeybee

I’m so sorry your struggling 🥲 such a truly anxious and miserable time.

I can only tell you that our bodies seem to do exactly as they please during this time and that as soon as we start to become any kind of settled they like to throw a curveball. That’s absolutely no help clinically at the moment but I know the ladies in the know will be along really soon to throw some of their amazing knowledge your way 🙏♥️

I can only offer solidarity and didn’t want to pass by your post without giving you a huge virtual hug 🤗 I know too well the paralysing, vomit inducing, pure terror of that anxiety when it hits following a show of any potential problem with health…it’s debilitating 🥹

I see you and I’m thinking of you lovely, someone will pop up soon and be able to offer some real gems of experience/knowledge xxx
