Hi Ladies,
Has anyone experienced very mild bleeding sometimes just spotting. I am peri menopausal and on oestrogel for the past 6 months. It happens maybe once a month.
Also does anyone experience their body feeling REALLY heavy at night in bed? It basically feels like my limbs are made of lead. I weight train and not sure if it’s the fact my body is getting old. It’s doesn’t happen every night. It might just feel like that for a short while but if I get up to go to the toilet and move around it feels ok. Again not all the time. Muscles feel very heavy. Thank you in advance.

Hi ATJ
I did not just want to read and run. I am post menopausal but I think slight bleeding can be common in the first 6 months of HRT. Are you on progesterone too? If it is worrying you maybe contact GP to reassure. The achey muscles could be a sign that you need more oestrogen but I am no expert. I get achey joints at night and when in peri it was a main symptom sometimes I struggled to walk. Have you tried a magnesium spray? I find this helps and a maybe a vitamin D supplement might help you. Unfortunately muscles do become lax and although I do lots of walking I suffer from a arthritic knee now. Xxx

Hi if you’re peri menopausal then bleeding can be expected. Are you taking progesterone?

Thank you for both of your replies.
I take vit D and magnesium supplements. I’m only taking 3 pumps and was thinking of adding an extra one. Hopefully this will make the difference. Most of them time I feel ok other times yes it’s an affect to carry my body.
I did think it might be because I was peri. Not really worried about the bleeding
Thank you both for you options.
