Hi,
My name is sarah, I am 34 and I suffer with PMDD since the birth of my son 7 years ago. I feel like wrote the book on gynae and hormone issues!!!
2003 - 2 x laproscopies
2004 - Bilateral salpingectomy - because of endometriosis they were so blocked and painful I had them removed to improve IVF chances
2005 - 1st round of IVF - overstimulated, very poorly nearly ended up in ITU
2006 - 2nd round of IVF - it worked
2007 - DS was born premature, postnatal depression and the beginning of hormone imbalance began!!
2008 - Bladder prolapse, TVT fitted so I didn't constantly p**s myself
2008 - 2014 - PMS/PMDD progressively got worse, going from 4-5 days up o 2-3 weeks of every month, mood swings, hitting husband with frying pans!!
you know, the usual stuff!
2014 - PMS went to become the whole month long, periods became very erratic, lots of crying and basically every perimenopause symptom going!! estrogen levels were 90 (very low for me)
2014 - October, my gynae consultant said I could have a total hyx as long as I did a 3-6 month trial of zoladex to make sure the cyclical symptoms go
2014 - Another laproscopy to recci my uterus fr adhesions, woohoo!! I can have it doen vaginally and lap
2014 - dec- started zoladex and 1mg climavel
After 2 weeks on 1mg I was horrendously depressed, crying at everything including buying milk in sainsburys!!
up'd it to 2mg, depression lifted but still had mood swings, DR checked my levels, 175 and said he wanted them higher so last Wednesday I added evorel 50 in to the mix, felt amazing fro the first 4 days then as of sunday I have felt little mood swingy and blurh, fine yesterday and felt really sh***y today, cried at every advert and haven't left the sofa!
the fluctuations are horrid,, I cant wait for the ERT to settle down, although I think I might need even more.
So there we go, that's me in a large nutshell!!! there is more but I don't want to bore you! (I have had 11 gynae surgeries in total!)
