The joys of HRT

[Bloomsburygirl]

I started on HRT about five weeks ago and I feel fabulous. I had all the lovely peri-menopause symptoms except night sweats, hot flushes, and dry eyes. I now feel like 20-odd years have been wiped off my age. It is so wonderful not feeling and looking old, exhausted, stressed, anxious, and cranky all the time. What are your stories?

Wow, what you have experienced is what I was hoping for!

I started HRT a year ago, I wasn't feeling that bad but had major period problems. The HRT sorted those out 100% but otherwise I honestly don't feel that different, but hope it is preventing bone loss (a big issue in my family).

I don't look younger .

My only symptoms were horrendously heavy periods (and anaemia) and joint aches. The Mirena has meant no periods and oestrogel has stopped the aches. I also have testosterone as my libido left the building.

I also feel completely fabulous. I think it’s keeping me young (I’m 52), but I might be imagining that.

Can you please tell me what HRT regimen you’re on? I’m just wondering!
