Perimenopausal update - oestrogen gel and mirena

Hi :)

I've found great comfort in readings everyone experiences shared here so thank you. I've spent the past four years or so suffering and was in denial for some
of that but finally reconciled that I'm perimenopausal.

I'm 42 years old but thankfully my GP has been amazing.

Symptoms I've experienced: palpitations, muscle aches, weakened bladder/ urgency to go to toilet, much longer gaps between periods, awful anxiety and intrusive thoughts, broken sleep, feeing really down.

I had the mirena fitted in March and started oestrogen gel 10 days ago and I am starting to feel different now. The anxiety is still there but not as acute and I've had some proper deep sleep at night and for the first time in years.

I wanted to share an outline of my experience so far

Thanks for the post. Hopefully, I'm following the same course of action in the next few weeks, so helpful.
