CLKD - v wise words!

Dogdoc - symptoms have definitely become 'tolerable' even if still there on occasions. First four months, none at all and I felt so good I even applied for a promotion (something I'd never have considered in my previous state!). However, this month I have had two days of sudden weirdness - and went into total panic mode: 'it's not my hormones but something worse and I am about to die' etc etc. Luckily, by the end of the second day of aching, severe lethargy and feeling just 'odd', I started to spot. (I am on Day 19 of this month but had no bleed at the end of the last month - which isn't unusual on Qlaira). This made me bizarrely happy as it suggests it
is the old hormones, after all! Doc has since said that spotting is a sign of too little oestrogen in the dose I am taking (Qlaira is one of the lowest dose pills) so I may need to have a stronger one. This doesn't appeal as I like that Qlaira is more bio identical.
Interesting, since being on the pill, my headaches/migraines have so far been better (wait for it, I will have a hum-dinger of a migraine tomorrow now I have said that!).
