Thanks for the very warm welcome everyone. I've had issues around hormones most of my life really, I suffered from the most horrendous periods as a young woman, with murderous PMS, I was put on the combined Pill by my GP but had terrible migraines with loss of vision and was told I couldn't ever take the combined Pill. I had a daughter at 22 and went straight onto the Mirena Coil afterwards, I have been on this repeatedly for 15 years. I had to stop this form of treatment as I was having continual infections and was put onto Cerazette Mini Pill. I have about 2 periods per year and normally a period comes with vivid horrendous nightmares and dreams for a few days.
For the last 6 months I have been suffering from these night issues every single night. I wake so early each day, but I don't get tired throughout the day so It isn't really a problem.
I guess I would like to know if it is Menopause, or if it is something else really. I didn't have a single hot flush all of yesterday though, it's really strange, it can be 6 or 7 times a day and all night, or not at all. I'm worried the doctor is going to think I'm just being silly.
I have looked into my family history but my mum had a hystorectomy at 21 and has been on HRT her whole life, her sister the same (cancer) and my aunt recently had one too at 45.
