Hi all, I'm a newbie on here too, I was diagnosed as going threw the menopause 2 years ago, at age 36 and failed IVF , I had tried for a baby for 7 years before that, but had no luck, I am now 38, and 5 months ago finally started my HRT, I am so glad I did!, I had been suffering from all the terrible symptoms, even to the extreme of thinking about leaving my job, and even my partner of 20 years!! I felt so low, I had lost myself, but I didn't really want to face up to it all..... most of my friends have had children,or are having children, and all the girls in my office too.. and I was going through the menopause, at such an early age, thankfully I did start my HRT , prem-pack 0.625. I have just had them doubled in dosage, as I found myself getting the symptoms again, however I must give strength to anyone with any doubts about starting HRT, is DO.. I feel like I have my life back, I can sleep, function, my memory,and bladder my mood swings, my whole mental health is much better, I was on the verge of loosing everything around me, all because I was hormonal unbalanced, I can now see the difference in all aspects of my life, and I can also see lately that I knew that my HRT needed to be a higher dose, I want to let anyone reading this, that I can honestly say that starting my HRT has been the best thing for me and has saved my relationship,as I am now my happier self again!
