Hi all
I know poor sleep is a really common symptom of peri and meno and I'm just interested to hear of other people's experiences, what's worked, what hasn't and when it maybe has stopped!
I'm 41 and peri, I see Studd so I'm on the ostrogel/utro combo and since Jan I've used 2 pumps but as of 2 days ago I've put it back up to 3 which he originally prescribed as I started waking frequently at night boiling hot, not night sweats but overwhelmingly hot then frequent waking/light sleep, horrid, I'm exhausted as I pass out at 10/10.30 but wake at 1.30 then feel like I toss and turn before waking again very early before 6.
Since all the hormone turmoil I've been prone to poor sleep and the hrt sometimes helps sometimes o think my hormones push through and poor sleep returns. It varies from week to week and I find it very debahiltating with 2 small boys to look after one who is a lively 2 year old 😁
I'm hoping an increase in ostrogen will help. I love the patches when I sleep soundly but sadly they never last long...anyone any advice!
