Hi Hurdity again thanks for your reply.
I am 50 and HAD been on desogestrel x 2 for 15 years as a contraceptive. I was no longer allowed to take the CCP as I smoke (which really pissed me off as I was so settled on microgynon). I went through all the bleeding problems on a mini pill until a consultant said increase to x 2. For 14 years I havent had a period. Which is why I didn't recognise early meno symptoms.......... I didn't even think about menopause.
I have been to hell and back trying to get settled... (no, I am not exaggerating) it's taken over 18 months to start feeling ok. So for me, the odd flush and soaking wet bedsheets are preferable to walking around with a huge heavy fog on my head, crippling fatigue, anxiety and bad thoughts.
This is why I feel this is the best I can hope for. xx AND this is why I asked xx
