Weaning off HRT

[RatatouilleAndFeta]

Anyone want to do this together?

I've been on it for 1.5 years.
Have tried the spray, the patches, testogel, the vag oestrogen... I'm feeling anxious all the time and have put on weight. My boobs are like melons. I'm tired of thinking about it all the time!

Today I bought some fish oil. And I have the menopace tablets.
Going to try to swim every day and add in some yoga.

Majorly cutting down on carbs, sugar & alcohol.

Am a bit apprehensive about how much my joints ached pre-HRT, but
I feel like if I can lose the extra 3st I'm carrying, the joint aches might not require the HRT anyway.

Oh am going to stick with the vag cresm as it's very low and definitely has a positive effect.

Am weaning off, as I was on a 75 patch and had some 50's left over.

I'll post how it's going here every day.
Be lovely if anyone is thinking of quitting, and wants to join me?

😊

Hope it goes well @samthebordercollie
sage tablets helped a lot with night sweats for me.
also, I took magnesium capsules last night and had a much better sleep so I’m hopeful that will help with the insomnia.

Thank you @Twoshoesnewshoes . I probably would have stayed on hrt as there are so many benefits to it but its affecting my medication for my trigeminal neuralgia and i cant seem to find one that dont. The pain it far too much to bare. Very odd but i stayed in a flare up for over months whilst on hrt🤷🏻‍♀️ i just couldn't take anymore. So my motivation probably peaked as im pain free.
Last night my flushes set in, today my mood has dipped 😔 just hoping its one of them says and tomorrow is better.
Good luck all you ladies on whichever route you choose xxx

Hows everyone doing? Have any if you ladies tried the Napiers wild yam cream? Not sure if it would suit me as im nearly 2 years post menopausal
