They are terrible at my surgery .. I've seen a few and not one of them understand my situation... but if I was to try and end it again I'd soon have all the mental health doctors running around wanting to see me!!!

[Mary G]

That's terrible.  So what are you immediate plans now?  Are you going ahead with the online order?

By the way, I have to ask, are you a Portsmouth fan?  I am a football fanatic in my other life!

[PompeyLou]

I haven't got a clue what I'm going to do Mary... my life just seems like one big black whole at the moment 
and yes I am a MASSIVE Pompey fan 

[Mary G]

Yippee!!! I'm a West Ham fan.  Just in the middle of watch Chelsea v. Spurs and hoping Chelsea win so Leicester win the title!

Back to the boring menopause, why not just order the stuff online and be done with it.  You can then go to your doctor and tell them that you got desperate and couldn't go on and were forced to take action.  See if that gets them moving. 

[PompeyLou]

Thank you Mary...I hope Leicester win the title too... we are in the play offs so im hoping we can make it back into league 1   

[Mary G]

They've done it, just been watching Leicester celebrate!  Good luck in the play offs (will be watching) and with the Livial! 

[Keepgoing]

What about asking your doctor to refer you to a menopause clinic in fact don't ask insist that they do and see if they're any better as its what they specialise in...and in the meantime get it offline...no way would I suffer and I would probably report this locum and your gps for leaving you in the wilderness. Good luck xx

Hi

Just to add, many women who have had TH are given Livial to improve libido. Go on hystersisters wed site.

If I was you I would buy it on line too.

[PompeyLou]

Thank you Warwick... it improved dramatically when I was on Livial but it's non existent now   

[Kate50]

I dont get this isn't Tibilone offered as a hrt like all the others what's wrong with it I tried it it gave me shocking headaches.  Why would someone say you can't have it?  Works on receptors doesnt it?
Got some in the cupboard if you want it!
Have you googled why it couldn't be given to a woman without ovaries?

[PompeyLou]

Hi Kate
my gynecologist who removed my overies said I was fine to be on Livial but when she went on maternity leave and i had my check up another gynee (a male ) said I shouldn't be on it because I still have a womb and need progesterone even tho I can't tolarate it and that was the whole reason I had my overies out in the first place.
I have been mesed around from the start and feel nobody seems to know what they are talking about at my hospital.

[Kate50]

I find that!  They all have their own opinions put them on it and they would soon start moaning!  I got 3 boxes if you want them.  I have often wondered is it enough to take ovaries I thought it would be?

[PompeyLou]

If you don't think your going

[Mary G]

PompeyLou, this gets more frightening by the day, this bloke sounds incompetent and I think you should report him.  What the hell is he talking about, it clearly states and I quote "A SEPARATE PROGESTERONE SHOULD NOT BE ADDED TO LIVIAL". 

If he is going to make your life a misery by taking you off Livial then he must explain in precise detail why he thinks you are particularly at risk from this product when millions of other women are not.  He knows your history and he knows what coming off Livial has done to you yet he just sits on his backside and tells you to suck it up. 

I think he is dangerous and putting women at risk and yet again it's the proverbial doctor (gynaecologist this time which is even worse) not understanding HRT being the same as a referee who doesn't understand the offside rule.

Hi Pompeylou,

I have problems with my GP's as I suffered with meno anxiety and depression (although to them is is none existent) o now I am labelled...... as having mental health issues! so they treat me like I am neurotic..... so I avoid going if poss
