Restarting HRT

[Newlywednearly50]

Hi
ive been on and off HRT for maybe 18 months. I stopped again in May this year as I was trying to lose weight for my wedding & my boobs were heavy and ginormous. However, the hot flushes are killing me & affecting my relationship- I can’t bear my husband to cuddle me in bed -so I’m starting again.

I’ve had nothing more than 1 day periods or spotting in the last year so can i move to daily utrogestan? I know I should ask my GP but I won’t get an appointment for weeks.

Thanks

Do it. I've ended up going private to get testosterone too. X

Sorry no idea about the utrogeston

I went straight on to contious, i had a very light 3 day period within a year, if you could call it a period. Although i dont think many are fond of taking continious utrogestan because of the side effects. I also take mine vaginally so it doesnt coincide with my other medication.

I did go on continuous then in Nov had a health scare related to uterine growths, had a fast track op- all benign. Stopped again and won’t be going back on. I think I’m post menopausal now, even though I’m just 50. Yes I get warm, especially at night & my joints hurt a little, especially in the morning but otherwise I prefer being off HRT & my skin is starting to be really good too!

Im post meno too. Seriously thinking of stopping my hrt. Dont know if im any better or worse🤷🏻‍♀️ i suffer awful anxiety but can't tell if im better with or without it. Scared of just stopping

Um my anxiety is worse at the moment but I’m feeling crap about myself, out of shape etc so that makes me less confident.
All I can say is you can come off & if after a few months you feel worse then you can go back on. Just give it long enough go to feel completely free of supplemental hormones.
good luck x

@Newlywednearly50 thank you. Hope your anxiety eases up for you too. Its awful to deal with day to day x
