Is HRT for me?

7 replies

I’m 54, haven’t had a period in 18 months.

I don’t get hot sweats but I regularly get very low moods (I was previously a very positive, glass half full kind of person) and wake up most days worrying about how I’m going to feel.

My low moods are completely arbitrary and unrelated to what’s going on around me.

Equally, my confidence has taken a massive nosedive....I’ve stopped driving at night and to unfamiliar places, something that wouldn’t have faxed me at all a year ago.

My forgetfulness is, at times, both frustrating and shocking.

Could HRT help me?

It might well help you. You could take it for a few months and see if you feel better for it.

yes it probably could

Defintely could be symptoms of menopause that hrt would help. Worth a try, helps my low mood for sure.

Yes.

I had never had anxiety or low mood until I was perimenopausal. Now I am on HRT I am back to normal.

Can I ask which brand of HRT you are on?
