Hi there, have been reading all your posts with interest and have been to my GP where I used to live and where i live now to test me to see if I am and they have both refused saying my hormones will read one day I am and the next I am not. I have been feeling down for about 5 years now on and off, thinking its my job, where I live thats making me unhappy, my DH. So I moved house, relocated to the south west, left my job as I couldn't cope with all the traveling and the stress of the job and still feel unfulfilled. My poor DH thinks its him but I only feel really bad about 3 weeks of the month and 1 week I am ok. Me periods are feeling as if they are getting closer, I can't loose weight, I am really heavy for the first 3 days then it suddenly stops. I don't have hot flushes, sex drive very low and has been for a few years I just put it down to having two DC's and working part-time. Its still low even though am not working. The more I read the more I think I am peri. I have always been rubbish with hormones like the pill etc so not sure hrt would help me,any advice to help me get out of this hell????? I am 43 and felt like this since about 38 yrs approx.
