Hi Dazned, I am nearly 52, I had the mirena previously for 18 months but prior to that, I only had occasional spotting. So not sure where I am, although I had an internal probe (scan last month, all was good re lining etc) although the lady said that I still had follicles. So whilst I have no bleed I know that I am still going through the change as periodically I get all the symptoms of a period with no bleed, this is when I completeley crash. The patch I put on yesterday was estradot 50.
I only had mild sweats last night, although I still feel a bit rough this morning, almost like flu symptoms alongside period pains. I have estradot 75 in the drawer and maybe will try with one of them today.
Sunnydays, I hope you are feeling better today, it's so hard trying to find the right balance, as like you I have the same symptoms but mine are relieved by increasing the patch. Do you know what your oestrogen levels are, as had mine tested last week and they were 200, although the specialist told me this reading was high!! Mind you he also told me that headaches and night sweats were NOT part of menopause. Quite scary as he is a private gyne and although I explained all of my symptoms every time my body crashes, including no libido, no energy, lack of motivation, joint pains, flu symptoms etc he did say that he had never heard of this before... Needless to say I will not be returning. I have another appointment with my doc on Friday and I will discuss increasing my estradot and using utrogeston alongside. On a positive note since removing my femseven patch & replacing with estradot 50 my mood is better, headache is easing and flushes are certainly reducing, I have also noticed this morning that my sinuses are draining and the pressure I had in my right ear is easing. This can only be down to the change of patch. I feel for you as it is sooo frustrating trying to find the right balance. X
