Title: Peri menopause returns!!!
Post by: Sammas on December 04, 2022, 09:17:36 AM
I have felt great for 7 months and bang, nearly 2 weeks ago my symptoms have gradually returned.  Thought I had a bug at first.  Taking HRT patches, vit D, magnesium, iron and cannabis oil.  Feel headachy, anxious, light headed, stomach ache, trapped wind.  Has anyone else felt like this after a good period, and what did you do? Thanks x

Hi there,yes, I have gone months feeling ok,then suddenly,the anxiety rears it's ugly head and the low mood,hot flushes etc,it will be a drop in oestrogen,it can fluctuate for years sadly, I just try and sit it out and it passes,I'm not on HRT and like you take supplements,along with my CBD gummies, I take evening primrose oil,so far so good x

Thanks Jaypo.  My worry is the symptoms for low and high oestrogen are very similar.  I could add another 25mg patch (in on 75 Everol) but I don’t want to make things worse.

Yes I’m the same! Seem to have hit a bump in the road with all symptoms returning.
I agree the symptoms for high and low oestrogen seem to be the same. Could you not increase to 87.5 instead by doing a bit of patch cutting?

Even though you are on HRT this doesn't stop your natural oestrogen from dropping or,yes,increasing but as we age,the less natural oestrogen we produce but I would try a slight increase rather than dropping at least then you'll know,blimey we're a confusing bunch   :o

Well tbh I'm not sure,I'm feeling the best I've felt in a while but you can never tell when it's a coincidence can you? Only buy from a reputable shop though x
