HP go for it

Definitely worth a GP visit HP.
Have now stopped the minipill/HRT combination, and am just using femoston 1/10 HRT on its own. Definitely more moody this week, although that could be outside factors. And I gather I may well get bleeds again (oh joy), so have "treated" myself to a nice new mooncup. Not liking the unpredictability right now, but hopefully it'll settle over the next few weeks.

Having lurked and read this thread for months now and getting seriously fed up with 20+ flushes a day and weight gain, low mood etc i did an online consult thingy a few weeks ago which resulted in a telephone appointment this morning, upshot was conversation with a lovely GP who is getting me set up with HRT patches thru my online prescription service so fingers crossed patches will arrive thru the post to my work next week ....... i might wait until i'm home to fit one tho

The GP mentioned stuff to help myself as well as the HRT, plant based / soya etc was mentioned , has anyone gone Veggie to try and help and found it made a difference ?

Hope everyone is doing ok. Gromit I hope the patches really help you
I’m still trying to argue my way to some of them
Still having symptoms that take over my life, all my weight gain is entirely round my middle and I’ve never put weight on there before, I’ve always been hips and arse
My last period was horrific, I was bleeding through everything every 20 mins and therefore couldn’t do anything at all for couple days but at least it didn’t last 5 weeks like the one before did 🤷♀️
Finally having endometrial ablation on 22nd august, bleeding and the endo pain disappearing will at least help but I really am just fed up with all of it to be honest. I want a normal life back. It’s always hard to tell whether I’m so knackered because of low iron due to all the blood loss, menopause symptoms, or crazy busy life
I still don’t actually get many hot flushes at all- full house of everything else but am lucky with that part, maybe that joy is still to come
