After a chat with my GP at my smear she suggested HRT patches for the low mood I was experiencing at the time (pre period). Still regular though have missed a couple and either an odd day heavy or prolonged and light so obviously changing. Symptoms are mainly mood based around periods (increased anxiety and low mood either before or after I start), migraines (at the same time) and some dryness which I use Yes WB for if needed. Is it too early to start HRT? I have no hot flushes (I know I might be one of the lucky ones!) and periods whilst irritating at times are nothing that I cant cope with. GP was a tad clueless so any advise would be welcome!

Hi,
I posted a link to Loiuse newson's podcast 089. She has women on HRT in there teens , so I suspect not too early as you are only replacing what you have lost. Have a listen to it and you will be more informed and confident in your choice.

Very interesting listen thanks. Still confused! I think due to years of pmt, polycyclic ovaries and not needing hormonal contraception since being sterilised in 1998, I'm not sure I want to mess things about until its really necessary. If I take it does it regulate periods? Sorry I not clear on it at all!
