Hi I’m 53 and perimenopausal, my periods are totally irregular in timing, some are light and others really heavy - my Doctor has prescribed Evorel Sequi but, if this produces an artificial bleed every time how do I know when my natural periods stop?  Thanks

   my periods waxed and waned for a few years: regular, less heavy or disappearing for months .... then back.

Which symptom would you like to ease with HRT?  U won't know when you are through peri to menopause = the last bleed.  However Mother Nature can throw in a curved ball when we think we're done!

Hi, thank for replying. I mainly want to deal with constant waking at night, tiredness, acid reflux, bad headaches, hair loss/thinning, anxiety and stress.  I don’t get night sweats or hot flushes. I feel that if I start Evorel Sequi I won’t know when my periods stop to say I’ve been 12 mths without one, and know exactly what stage I’m at. Thanks

You won't know.

However this information is far less important than people think it is.

You just make a reasonable guess if you want to switch to continuous. This could be after a year on sequential, or when you reach 55.

You may notice that you get less bleeding overall when you are no longer having your menstrual period and only getting the artificial withdrawal bleeds.

However nobody needs to bleed at all unless they want to, and multiple bleed free options exist that can get rid of your periods if you prefer.

That sounds peri from where I'm sitting  what wakes U at night?  The need2P - that's a whole different kettle of fish; or chilly/warm/chilly?

Hi there is no reason for me waking, i fall asleep pretty much straight away when I first go to bed but then wake 5/6 times a night and struggle to get back to sleep.

It mayB that we don't require as much sleep as we age, my Gran was up at 5.00 to get the chores done so that she could a) deal with the B&B visitors and b) play/feed us kids once they had gone to the beach. 

I sleep OK unless I cross the landing to/from the bathroom and my head begins whirring.  I had a couple of bad nights this week  due to 'stuff' as well as it being That Time of Year

Hi Youngme,  magnesium may help with your sleep.
