HRT users - how old are you?

[BonosToupee]

First of all apologies, that’s quite a rude question!
I’m curious because I’m 61 and have been on evorel conti for 8 years. The last couple of years my GP has encouraged me to stop using it, but reluctantly issued another repeat for a year.
This year I decided to give it a go, and 6 weeks on I have just stuck a patch on my butt! I’m sleep deprived, feel dreadful and am losing quality of life.
I know that I can keep using it and will continue to fight my corner, but was wondering how long other people have used it for.

46 and i started a few months ago

54 and been on it just over four years. Started it for palpitations for which it made no difference ( I eventually went into AF) but decided to stay on it for the health benefits. My GP is a menopause specialist, she’s obsessed with it. If you go with a rash or a broken toe she turns it round to menopause and HRT.

I’m 47 and I’m not on HRT but I am on the progesterone only pill and have vaginal oestrogen. I thought I’d mention this as it’s a kind of HRT light without the cancer risks. I was finding before taking these my 20 day periods were giving me horrific constipation and diarrhoea which led to recurring anal fissures and haemorrhoids which were absolute agony. And I had cyclical rage that was driving me insane.

A year of the pill and the vaginal oestrogen and my life has returned to normal. I’ll up it to hrt when this stops working, hopefully not for a good few years yet.

My friend started HRT at 76.

I'm 48 and have been on it 5 years. Should have started earlier.

I'm 52 and have had it for three years.

I intend to stay on it.

MIL died at 87. She was still on hrt then

57, been on it for 16 months and recently increased to Evorel 75. Also prescribed utrogestan, estrogen cream and Yes VM.

46 and ive been taking the tablet form for 18 months
