No not seen that one. I've just had a read about it on imdb. Under the more like this section is The Night Agent, the Diplomat and Designated Survivor - watched all 3 of these and enjoyed them so have just added it to my watch list.
Thanks littleminnie 

I also have bleeding and spotting on Oestrogel and Utrogestan but I take the Utrogestan vaginally. I have the dysphagia too so not sure I could even manage with the capsule!! I've been on HRT 5 years and I am trying to cut down. My consultant recommended the Evorel Conti but I've never tried it.

I am also terrified as I have been told I need a hysteroscopy. What was the pipelle biopsy like? Is it easier than a hysteroscopy?

Hi Eileen,
Sorry was just doing a search and wondered how you got on with all of this?
My anxiety has definitely been worse being peri and also the pins and needles from the tops of my arms to my fingers at night every night.
Sometimes it wakes me.
Doc rules out CTS and thinks it's the way I'm laying and nerve pressure, because it goes pretty quickly when I shake them for a second, but last night it was all down my right side and I sleep on my left.  Have tried adjusting my position but makes no difference and I've slept that way for years, it's deffo got worse since being peri.
Have upped my Oestrogel to 4 pumps and hoping that might help, but hard to know exactly what's going on.

Hadn't linked it with anxiety.
Any updates appreciated.
Thanks

Hi ladies

Does anyone else suffer with pins and needles in the hands especially at night in bed? I mentioned to my doctor but she didn't seem to concerned. I think alot of my symptoms could be anxiety related as it's through the roof just now 😔

Muttering ........... 

  your GP was years behind ! no woman should have to suffer with symptoms.

Using VA treatment every night is OK as it's such a tiny amount of active ingredient, if 3x a week is OK then that's fine, if symptoms niggle up the nightly insertion for 2-3 weeks.  As our hormone levels drop we may need to do a reload regularly.

A low dose of as-required diazepam is a million times kinder and more effective than taking long term SSRIs, which only marginally outperform placebo in studies funded by the manufacturer in people with depression.

I am even less convinced that SSRs do anything for anxiety.

Benzodiazepines are an absolutely marvellous and very safe medication, however there is now tremendous fear of prescribing them amongst clinicians due to abuse by a small minority, which can occur with any substance, and the risk of which with judicious use is grossly overestimated.

There are multiple other options, you do not have to put up with intolerable side effects, periods or antidepressants.

Why not look into some of the other progestins either oral or IUS, or alternatively tibolone?.

Yep, whilst the active ingredient is the same, absorption can vary between patch brands.

Additionally using two smaller patches can be less efficient because it comes unstuck around 8 edges rather than 4, potentially leaving a smaller area in contact with the skin.

You might just have to accept that with different brands you need to customise your dosage and as suggested above, trim a bit off the more potent patch.

Yep bloody utrogesten doesn’t lik3 me,I’ve tried so many different combinations none of it helps for very long.
Felt hungover with the football as I called it made my anxiety even worse! Still tryin* to find something

It sounds like you must absorb better from Evorel which made your oestrogen levels rise and consequently got bigger boobs... I don't think you would get that effect if your levels were falling. Perhaps someone can correct me here if I'm wrong. Sooooo either see if it settles down or snip a bit of the patch and see if that fixes it?
