Order of symptoms?

[Fingerbobs]

Hi all, I'm (just) 45, no period since stopping progesterone implant contraception in February. I had blood tests in May and June with FSH of 57 then 69 and LH of 37 then 46, so despite my GP's initial scepticism I am indeed peri.
I am having some insomnia and night sweats, and what I now realise is brain fog; what I'm wondering is whether hot flushes are in the post - part of my GP's scepticism was that I hadn't had any. So - did any of you have night flushes that then became day ones?
I really hated periods so question two is do they come back with HRT and if so are they the same, less or worse than before? (And here I mean pre-peri rather than those who get relief from awful flooding). I feel childish wanting to avoid them but ATM symptoms are pretty manageable. However if flushes start in daytime I think that would tip it for me.
Thanks in advance for any advice/knowledge/experience.

I gave my opinion & my opinion is it is a bullying forum supported by the admin & I expect the pharmaceutical companies.

Are you someone who has left MM forum and hopped over here? You do sound very cross.

Be careful about what you say on a public forum about other sites- laws of libel might apply especially when the directors of those sites are medical professionals.

That is so funny. I'm not a rabbit

Thing is, if you are able to get to see a consultant privately your experience will be very different from those women, most of them, in fact, who see GPs and often get prescribed the cheapest form of HRT, according to NICE, with side effects they can't stand. Most of my local friends have now given up on HRT as it takes weeks to get an appointment, then they waste three months feeling awful before starting all over again.

BUT the main point I'd make is what I use for HRT is available on the NHS and is mainstream. It's not expensive - no more than what GPs prescribe anyway. Oestrogel and micronised progesterone is standard. Women just need to ask their GPs.

Yes, I get time to discuss pros and cons with a consultant, and discuss research, but I'd rather spend money on that (health) if it were either / or than holidays, entertainment and clothes.

A rabbit? Sorry you've lost me now

You are fortunate to be able to pay for private healthcare. Many are not. It is with hope that more menopause clinics will be available on the NHS. It is a positive experience for you PP on HRT which is great but there will be those who it has not. That is the good thing from this that both sides are listened to but the best place to get advise is from your GP and take any advise on her as antedotal
