So blood tests have determined in perimenopausal. Only had one period earlier this year. Not sleeping, night sweats, day sweats, brain fog and headaches. Asked for HRT but I was told by doctor to go away and research it and tell the doctor what I want at a future appointment. Seriously, is this how it works now? How am I supposed to know as some say gel is great, some disagree, and do I need tablets too, or go down patch route. Ironically other symptom is just being so bluergh about making a decision that I can’t decide. I want it to go away, love having no periods, and not having cool or anything. Coming up to big 50. Help!
