Hi. I'm 42 and have been told today I'm probably in menopause (not sure if that means perimenopause). I don't have kids of my own but have two wonderful stepchildren. Although I know I'm not going to have kids of my own as my partner doesn't want any today's news has really knocked me for six. I went to the doctors as I've been having terrible night sweats, waking up drenched pretty much every night, and not sleeping great because of this. I'm on the mini pill and have bleeds every three months or so. I feel like I'm too young for all this! I'm completely confused by HRT but the doctor I spoke to today said because I'm young for menopause I need to protect myself from osteoporosis. I'm going back to the doctors on Monday to discuss it more but I was just wondering if anyone has gone through this as early as me and has any advice on HRT or just how you're coping in general. Thanks.
