After finally taking the step of asking for HRT a few weeks ago, the locum consultant I saw prescribed my Evorel Conti. I haven't taken them. I really don't think they're the right preparation for me - backed up by all the knowledgeable advice on here.
My own GP is reluctant to prescribe as she considers me 'a complicated case' because I still have periods
So, yesterday I wrote to my own consultant asking if they could fax over the HRT preparation we'd discussed at Xmas. Oestrogen patches, then separate progesterone feedback for a few days per month.
As an added insurance, I also rang the clinic today and spoke to one of the nurses and explained the situation. She said she would need to confer with colleagues and get back to me.
So, just sitting here waiting now to see what happens next. I am on Day 21 of my cycle and since Day 14 it's been a bit grim to say the least. Keep getting anxiety episodes which last several hours, where I feel so low and despairing. Then it quickly lifts and I'm pretty okay(ish) again. I'm waking very early, pre-6am, and instantly get nasty adrenaline ****les down the backs of my legs.
I dream of the days where my alarm used to wake me up at 7.30am and all I would feel is a bit tired, but happy to face the day.
