What HRT are you on?

[TwentyFourHoursToTulsa]

I am 59, and just getting round to thinking that I might benefit from some HRT. (I had a Mirena coil, so never really noticed menopause because I didn't have any periods anyway). My main/slight problem is vaginal, everything else feels fine.

So I am dipping my toes in the HRT pool, and just wondered what everyone else is on? And for what particular reasons, if any?

Thanks in advance!

I did ask about testosterone, what do you find it helpful for?

@TwentyFourHoursToTulsa libido. In a phenomenal way.

Yes a friend of a friend was telling me about that 😄I'm pretty happy with my libido where it is, also the nurse said to see what happened on the oestrogen.

Does testosterone do/help with anything else?

Not in my experience. Unless you see thick leg hair as a positive!

😆

Wow wow wow. I inserted the first oestrogen pessary yesterday afternoon. There has been a literal overnight change. Feeling so much more comfortable down there, and there's been actual physical evidence that isn't just in my mind 😆 Seriously, this has been amazing. Literally overnight. Amazing.

Well - I decided after reading this (and a lot of other threads, websites etc) to request HRT. Unfortunately it turns out what I was prescribed (Oestrogel pump) seems to be out of stock every where and apparently discontinued - so my pharmacy could not supply it. I've gone back to ask for another brand / type of HRT instead....

However while waiting around at the pharmacy while they checked all this, I did have the opporunity to find out about the HRT pre payment prescription option - I didn't know about this so I'm pleased ! Will certainly be cheaper

I have had a hysterectomy so no progesterone. I am on 75 patches (can never remember if they are mcg or mg) and also twice weekly estrogen vaginal cream.
