The Impossible Dream - Michael Ball and the Dementia Choir

All The Time In the World……….Louis Armstrong…..

Many of us don't ask at the time, myself included!  As a medical secretary U would think that I had more nonce  .

However, when VA symptoms are bad it's difficult to push high enough, which is why I prefer estriol ;-)

Thank you . Such a worrying time. Hope it all goes well with you

If it fell out,  you aren't inserting it high enough, you need to push up as high as it will go, sometimes it feels like you gone as far as you can but the cevix can be in the way so just sort of manouvere it and it will go the side or behind the cervix then, it apparently then sticks to the wall of the area and slowly dissolves. I have been on it for a few years and started by just pushing in until it stopped, ie I was only place it below the cervix, it came out when I was going loo too, Dr explained just what I have posted here, up to the top or risk it coming down

Hi yes, i too had a scan and am waiting for a hystoscopy, it is normal if you have bleeding to have both

Hello I had my ultra sound scan and then the Transvaginal one. She couldn’t see my left ovary as she said I had gas. I asked if my ovaries  looked ok on the ultra sound scan she said yes but I don’t ask for any more info . Then on Friday had a call from hospital for me to have a hysteroscopy on Tuesday. This has panicked me would this be a normal route to check why I did have a bleed?

What we're your periods doing before you started hrt? If you weren't menopausal this won't stop them. Have you tried using a cycle instead of continuous? Some progestogens can make your sleep worse, it might be interesting to see if you're any different when you're not on it

Oh. Great.

Thanks ladies. Both very reassuring replies.

It's only day 1. I've just had a nap. Definitely not out of the woods yet. I have extreme sensitivity to everything I touch. I can't even take a utrogestan without severe stomach pain. And by day 4 I'm comotosed. There are so many weird symptoms I have that could kick off with this trial.

So jury is very much out on mirtazapine for me. But I feel good that I've at least made a start and tried it. Ive had it for weeks, but was too scared to try.

Gnatty - how long until you saw benefits for anxiety and mood?

Unfortunately I should never have stayed (been allowed to stay??) on my increased escitalopram for 12 weeks. It's why I ended up under a crisis team. But it's behind me now. But it's also the reason I've been too scared to try mirtazapine .

LClegg - venalfexine was the next one suggested to me. But I'm not interested. That's why I pushed for the pregabalin. If you have anxiety, it'd definitely be worth re asking. It was ladies on this forum put me onto it.
