Title: New here just checking in
Post by: Limpy on December 14, 2020, 02:12:40 PM
Just popped in to say hello. I'm new to this site though sadly not to menopause but I'm lucky enough to have an HRT aware GP practice so that helps a lot.

Looking forward to getting to know you all.

Browse round.  Make notes ;-).

Do read the threads about bladder issues and vaginal atrophy - 4warned is 4armed!

What HRT has been recommended?

How R U getting on with both?  Is this a recent prescription or have you had time to get used to it?

I've had it for a few years so things have settled down The first 6 months on the patches took a bit of getting used to.

How can we help?  We talk about most things: dog breeds, cycling, exercise, gardening - occasionally menopause  ::)  :D

Hi Rattymaid.  You can begin a new thread when you've had a browse round and decided which you would like to ease.   :welcomemm:

Hi Rattymaid. I think I know exactly what you mean by not being brave enough yet. It's scary deciding what to post first isn't it?
