Hi SpaceyTracey73,
Another Dotty here.
I think we are in a similar position in many ways Menopause-wise. I started sequi HRT (Oestrogel and 14 days of utrogestan) at age 53, 20 months ago, after 7 years of trying to manage peri-menopausal symptoms by various other methods. Have definitely felt better in lots of ways but still have a range of more manageable symptoms. Was advised by GP to move to continuous regime after 12 months on assumption in was 54 and should have stopped periods but so far, after 2 attempts, it has made me feel a lot worse. So gone back to sequi regime as I don't think my body is ready. Will be interested to hear how you get on.
