I've had to give up on my second try with HRT. I've tried both the patches and the gel now, I already have a Mirena coil. When I was taking the HRT I found that my sleep massively improved, but I had the most enormous and extremely tender and sore boobs, in the end I couldn't live with that anymore, plus I read that women with these symptoms have an increased risk of breast cancer with HRT. So I'm now back to square one, and my boobs are fine but My sleep is absolutely appalling, I'm extremely restless, having hot flushes, waking up in the night to go to the loo et cetera. I'm exhausted! I'm sure this question has been asked many times before but what natural remedies or supplements of people tried that I've helped specifically with sleep and hot flushes? Many thanks
