I just posted this as a response to another post but figured I may get more responses here!
i have been on patches around 8 months (46 in June) and my symptoms have recently started to get worse.
Brain fog has bern terrible since last summer which I put down to divorce (that I realise is prob part peri menopause issue too). Divorce has finalised, house sold, drama less than has bern but still hard to concentrate at work then the hot flushes started a few weeks ago and oh my god, I’ve had a few sad days recently. I Was crying on way to work for zero reason the other morning other than 12 yr old daughter being hard work.
Im in new relationship, life has settled, I’m buying a house. I should be happy and 98% I am then a couple times last month the sadness has hit. I’ve never had mood problems or even pmt so this was a shock. Felt grey, flat and tearful.
Anyway, dc has changed me from 100mg patch (highest license) to 4 pumps gel. Really hope it sorts me out as I feel like I’m losing me sometimes. I also had the coil as was terrible at taking progesterone by tablet and take testosterone gel. My first symptom
believe it or not was out of blue I found it hard to orgasm. I was told this was a peri menopause symptom but couldn’t find much on it. That’s why I started with the T and hrt. It’s obviously been getting worse and only just noticed it. N4 they gave me T (Jan 22) they did bagimal
scan and I had very few eggs left.
anyone had similar and felt better?
