I have seen my gynaecologist twice now and although she is lovely it's very hard to get a straight answer from her.
She has diagnosed me as being peri menopausal despite my bloods and bone scan tests being 'normal'. She has primarily diagnosed me due to early menopause running in the family, the fact that I have always suffered with PMS and the fact I had PND. Plus I am now 44 and my periods are much, much lighter and I was suffering with terrible anxiety and low mood for the first half of this year.
She recommends that I take HRT BUT won't directly tell me how it will benefit me. I have felt much better these last few months and so stopped taking my ADs. But I have noticed my mood is still very cyclical, the first of the month I feel energised and positive and very loving and my libido is okay. The second half I feel I can't be bothered, I have no energy and I feel very uninterested in my partner and family in general
If I take HRT will it make me feel energised and more positive and more affectionate toward my family ALL month? Because if it won't then I really don't see the point in taking it.
Can anyone advise, as my gynaecologist is just so vague.
