Hi, thanks, all of you for that information - now that I actually have borderline blood test results in writing, I can hopefully get the right dosage of hrt to improve these horrible symptoms.
Back in January, 2014 when I started to feel very depressed & other symptoms were rearing their ugly heads, my blood test came back 'normal' even though I felt anything but normal! I never asked for the figures at the time & I did not know that there was a particular time in the cycle to get the most accurate results.
Countrybumpkin - When I was around 40, I had a 'borderline' result but I wasn't told about it at the time - I found out about it later on when I discussed the symptoms I had started to get in 2013/2014 so that definitely ties in with what you have told me (at the time, I was told it was 'normal'!). Hormone fluctuations!

The gynaecologist I saw last September about my heavy bleeding said my symptoms were perimenopausal but I did not know what my actual hormone levels were. Thanks to the ladies on here, I know now to ask for the numbers because I didn't do that in the past.
RoseB & Dahliagirl - I thought 73 sounded a bit low for oestrogen levels - those lab references tell me all I need to know!
