Hi I am 52 and after having a 'period' that lasted 6 months was relieved when it finally finished ! But after 5 weeks it started again. With all the hot flushes, pins and needles, IBS glare ups, forgetfulness and BV and bladder infections, enough is enough. I went to the Doctors and she went over the pros and cons of HRT and I decided to give it a go. Taking Elleste Duet. I was on my period already but this stopped after the first couple of tablets. After taking one week's worth, I have started my period again and boy do I know it! I'm going to persevere with this but oh for a magic cure lol
