Hi all,
I posted a few weeks back about my signs of peri menopause, well I went to my GP last Monday who said it sounds as though I am starting the change and asked if I wanted to go on HRT so I bit her hand off lol
I'm on 1mg on Elleste Duet and so far so good, but last night or early morning I got up for a wee and went back to bed, then I had a horrible pain in my lower pelvic area come on as though I was in labour but it continued for about half an hour, I was up rocking side to side etc to alleviate the pain as it was really painful.
Now I don't know if it was constipation. But I had some anxiety yesterday morning as I was driving my daughter and her family to Luton airport so they could go on their holiday and I was feeling nervous so I was visiting the toilet a lot beforehand.
I had a feeling in my bowel as well, just concerned it might be down to the HRT or not, and I'm hoping it is not.
I've never felt any thing like it before other than labour pains which obviously go after a few minutes lol
Needless to say I have not had my bowels open today and I'm sorry if this post is totally insignificant to the menopause but I thought you are such a lovely bunch you would all put my mind at rest as I honestly thought there was something seriously wrong or that I would need to have my appendix out lol But you know what it is like at half one in the morning lol
Sorry to ramble on and on......
