I started using HRT patches about a week ago. I'm 52 and not had a period for about a year. My symptoms have not been that bad but the hot flushes and associated sleep disruption had started to be an issue so I thought I'd give HRT a try.
How long should it take for me to feel the effects? I have to say that I'm feeling on top of the world today - is it just that we're on the brink of a sunny Bank Holiday weekend or could the hormones be affecting my mood?
It's making me wonder if the menopause was affecting my mood after all without me noticing.
