General menopause chat

[50isthenew20]

Hello fellow fuzzy headed, irritable, hot, bothered and knackered menopausal ladies. 😂I have finally managed to accept I am menopausal... I need help! Do you have a general chat thread?

I am so unbelievably grateful for HRT too.

I've just started combined HRT tablets, have noticed oestrogen patches and progesterone tablets seem to be the most commonly used HRT on these threads. Any reason why?

Three weeks. Instantaneously better. It’s been amazing.

@RudsyFarmer wow I'm really pleased for you it's had such a positive effect so quickly. I asked because you said you would recommend. Mine seems to have taken a bit longer to have any noticeable effect but I wasn't experiencing hot flushes or night sweats and so for women who are and if HRT stops them I would imagine that is a wonderful relief. My symptoms were mostly anxiety, low mood and brain fog. I do feel better this week though so hopefully that continues

Lake I have mine separately. The Progesterone tires you out - you take it at bed time. Initially it knocked me out and I had a deep sleep for thr first couple of weeks. My friend has the combined patch and has felt tired all the time with it.

Hi it's my first time here.. I recently have been taking HRT treatment..I'm in my 3rd week and would like to share..char and generally get a conversation going.the last couple of years for me have been very challenging. Chaotic and many more things going on.. i say the last 2 or so because they were very different from my usual life..without going into to much detail I was becoming desperate.so I did it and started the treatment..and ohb wow what a difference it's already making to my entire life.. my mood my feelings ect .. I am known to blabber on lol and I could go on for ever ..but for now I just have to share my experience and hopefully have some feedback I would love to hear of others journeys on this topic..so I will be back..right now I'm going to enjoy the day with the happier..the nicer and more confident me x
