Hi there,

Im 47 and on 50mg Evorel patches and 100mg Utrogstan vaginally every evening I started on the 12th Sept and don't feel any better if anything i feel worse!! The only positives are im sleeping a little better and hot flushes and bloating have decreased. My mood is extremely  low i have no motivation or interest in life have irrational thoughts and have withdrawn from family and friends...I just want to start feeling like the fun loving me again, i was very reluctant to take HRT at first and now I have im wondering if it will ever kick in?? GP has advised taking dose for 3mths then return to her for review do you think i should wait until my 3mth review or call her now for an increase in dose....any advice would be appricated I FEEL IM GOING MAD!!!!!

Gladys - do read in the alternative room, although once hormones kick in, any benefits from herbals may be lost.

QueenG - it's The Change. Does what it says on the tin.  Perimenopause can creep up.  U R not going mad!  It mayB that you are not on the correct HRT or because of your hormones it will take a while to kick in.  It can take as long as 3 months before the body recognises the uptake.

Let us know how you get on!   :welcomemm:
