HRT not working

[BooseysMom]

Hi, I've been on Oestrogel and Utrogesten for 3 months and thought my symptoms were improving but they don't seem to be any more. I've never had hot flushes but I have crippling all over aching. I desperately want to get fit and re-start exercising but have zero energy. I spent all yesterday in bed asleep. I'm depressed and snappy. Work is a nightmare.
I have a constant burning feeling down below too which hasn't improved with the HRT

I've told the gp and she sent me to have BP checked and it's high but not worryingly so. I've been monitoring it for a week.
My symptoms are always worse mid cycle to when the period starts.
What should I do? I'm worried about just stopping the HRT.

Could you ask to be referred to a menopause clinic if there is one in your area? Definitely ask for vagifem or Ovestin for your vulval burning feeling - local oestrogen to prevent vaginal atrophy. You can keep using this on or off HRT.
