Hello! So glad to find this site.
My GP seems to know less than I do
I'm 48, peri menopausal with still fairly regular periods. I opted to go on hrt a couple of months ago due to fatigue, no zing, night sweats and (a big reason) awful brain fog.
I haven't had a great start on hrt and am considering stopping completely. Initially my GP prescribed conti (in error as I am still regular) and I had no period and felt awful. The last 3 weeks I have been on sequil and although was ok in the oestrogen stage am really suffering with pmt now I have switched to conti - and no period (day 35, when I'm usually 24). What's worse I've put on 6 pounds argh!!
I feel fat, irritable, emotional and wondering why I'm doing this. On the other hand cognitive symptoms have improved and night sweats are now nil.
Does anyone have experience or advice?
Thank you
