Title: Newbie
Post by: MariaM on August 12, 2022, 12:31:53 PM

Hi everyone,

I am a newbie to HRT and was forwarded to this site by my doctor.

Looking forward to reading your stories and feeling positive that I can find others who are struggling like me.
I am on Estraderm 24 MX Patches and Utrogestan 100mg capsules daily. But, I have now been put on Tranexamic Acid 500mg due to the amount of blood loss I am having.
I am 5 months in and pleased that the night sweats have stopped, most of the anxiety is gone, and I can sleep, as well as reduced brain fog but the blood loss is really getting me down.

If anyone has any suggestions I would be so grateful as I am starting to think that I would be better off going back to before I started HRT.

MariaM

The medication prescribed should ease the heavy bleeding.  Is your GP following up to make sure that y ou aren't aneamic?
