Hi everyone,

I just wanted to give you ladies an update. As you know I like other ladies on here have had my ups and downs with this meno journey, my latest being another really heavy bleed. I had a look at all the options, I didn't want a coil fitted and I really didn't think synthetic progestins was for me.

I had a good chat with my gp yesterday (who is in favour of hrt) and we both agreed that we should treat the insomnia/anxiety with AD's rather than hrt. The root cause of it is anxiety and it never really went away on hrt to be honest.

 I also really can't risk bleeding again and I think the highs and lows of the estrogen from stopping and starting hrt again is really no good for my mental health either.

I will keep you all posted on how I'm doing and will be on here as usual,  but I wanted to thank everyone for all your help and suggestions.

This forum has been a lifeline for me, during some very dark days.

I also just wanted to say I know there are some ladies on here who are really going through the mill at the moment, in particular Nas. Nas if you read this, I wish I had an ounce of the inner strength that you have x

My dear disco,
You’ve made me cry with your kind words! 🌸 We are ALL  strong women, trying to find a way through this hell. 

Your journey, has been stormy and stressful and you have soldiered on. I am hoping and praying you find relief with a new and different medication. You never know, it might just be the missing link!

We know HRT is meant to be first line of treatment for menopause, but sometimes it just isn’t enough to treat the most bothersome symptoms.

Keep us posted disco 🌸🌺

Thanks Disco for updating us. Im sad to hear the hrt was knocking you about. ☹️
I really hope you get on ok with the ADs.
Remember, if one doesn’t suit, there’s others they can prescribe. It’s good your GP took the time for you too, not in and out like most GPs want.
I second what you’ve said about Nas. I’ve read some of her posts, not sure how she does it tbh. But good on her! 🥇
Let us know how you’re doing. You know we’re here. 👍

Jd. Xx
