Hi everyone,
I'm 44 and fairly sure I've been having perimenopausal symptoms over the past couple of years. It's mainly bad sleep after my period for a week or so and anxiety and feeling low for a bit. It's getting bad enough that it's affecting my life so I know it's time to look into getting some help.
I've chatted to my GP who said I'm too young to be put into HRT and put me on the combination pill 😬 I've felt deliriously happy and hyper, but my insomnia has gone through the roof. I feel like I'm having some sort of adrenaline rush at night and barely sleeping. I've only been taking it for a week, but a week of no sleep is enough for me.
I don't know if I should try something natural first or just start on a low dose HRT. I'm just worried I'm going to get the same issues I did with the pill?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm exhausted and need some help!
Thanks 😊
