So I have

hot flushes 🔥
Disturbed sleep 💤
Brain fog 🌫
Anxiety 😱
Emotional 😭

But I am having regular periods, they were 28 days apart, now 31 days apart, last about 4/5 days

The last one was 3 days of minimal brown sludge

I did ask about a month ago for a blood test, but the nurse said no, as I still had my periods.

But I want HRT, can I have it ?

I have a doctors appointment today sometime (a call back) and I want to be firm.

Wow, so just had my telephone consultation and the Dr was amazing.

She agreed all the symptoms were peri-menopausal and had prescribed patches and vaginal pestories (sp)

Great news. I really hope they work for you. They likely will. Don't get despondent if they don't, and don't be afraid to ask for a different type, or dose. I was on patches, then gel, and now an increased gel dose and am now feeling a lot better. Fingers crossed for you!
