Good morning lovely ladies!
Quick rundown …..
Been peri for about 8 years now and getting LOTS of horrible symptoms.
Over the years i have tried numerous hrt preps and dosages, none of which have really sorted out my symptoms and definitely haven’t overridden my own cycles so I was still getting periods every 21/25 days.
Since October periods became even more erratic ( a thing between 14 / 28 days ) and symptoms ramped up massively :'(.
GP was thinking i may need to up my estrogen as on 3 pumps but did a blood test to check I was absorbing and my estrogen was actually really high so dropped down to 2 pumps.
I have also added desogesterel ( mini pill ) about 6 weeks ago to use alongside the 100 Utrogestan I was taking - hoping this may over ride my own cycle and improve symptoms and stop my periods.
Unfortunately this hasn’t happened- no real change to symptoms but I have been bleeding constantly- mostly only very light but it’s really getting me down as nothing seems to be helping - don’t know where to go from here - any suggestions??
I have been tested for so many things and all come back normal- currently waiting on results for possible adrenal tumour due to the huge random adrenaline rushes I get - oh such joy !!
Really hoping you may have some pearls of wisdom x

The Change - does what it says on the tin and if hormone levels are strong, will over ride HRT.
Which symptom would U like to ease first?
R they adrenal rushes and when? I suffered with cortisol early morning waking, which left me terrified :'( :-\
