Further drop in hormones at 51?
« on: April 26, 2025, 08:13:07 AM »

Hi everyone,

I have what I think is often called reproductive depression (bouts of depression related to hormonal flux such as PND, PMT and perimenopause).

I have been well for about 4 years following feeling really anxious and low when peri first hit when I was 44 and then 2 years after that.

I am now 51 and experiencing a dip with anxiety.

Did anyone in a similar (or not similar!) situation need their HRT adjusted around 51 (the average age for menopause). Just wondering if I am in menopause now.

I am waiting for an appt at LMPC (London menopause and pms clinic). I have seen them before as I also have progesterone intolerance.

I take a high amount of oestrogen (100 mg patch, 2 pumps of oestrogel, Provera for 7 days a month and a small blob of testogel) currently (I have had a scan and all good with the womb lining on this regime).

Thank you xx
