Coming off HRT

[HaZeJ27]

Hello, I am currently on hrt for perimenopause been on it a year now and i do feel its working but me periods are all over the shot at the moment.

I was wondering if anyone has chosen to come off hrt and managed ok ?
TIA

Well your symptoms will unfortunately come straight back again as it's only been a year.

Why not ask about your options for regulating your periods such as the minipill or Mirena coil?

Thanks for your reply, unfortunately I cant take the mini pill and had coil before and it didnt agree with me.

What sort of hrt?
A sequential type should reset your periods so they become a monthly withdrawal bleed- the same as the bleed in a Pill break .

If this isn't happening you probably need your HRT tweaking.

No two people are the same, I don’t think you’ll know till you try.

If you're still in peri you've a long way to go!
My symptoms didn't start will my early 50s and I was almost post menopausal. I've tried stopping HRT twice after more than 15 years on it and the night sweats etc are still there.

Coming off HRT can be quite different for everyone. Some women find that symptoms return after reducing or stopping it, particularly hot flushes, night sweats, sleep problems or mood changes. That doesn’t necessarily mean anything is wrong, but it can be a sign that your body is still benefiting from the hormonal support.

If you’re considering stopping HRT, it’s worth discussing it with your GP or a menopause specialist rather than stopping suddenly. A gradual reduction may be more comfortable for some women, and the decision should take into account your symptoms, medical history, age and individual risks.
