CLKD the weather is very hot! I was sweating yesterday with my Xmas party zip lining. It's around 28 to 30 degrees lunch time, but we have high humidity so it feels hotter. Thanks for your advice guys- really appreciated!
Yes, my gynae provides explanation but he is a very quick talker, though I can be a bad listener-A.D.H.D. and no medication 😆 .
Hurdity, you're right that he wanted the king to shed, which he pointed out on the ultrasound. My period in fact started late yesterday (2nd day after my last conti patch). He said the recommendation is a minimum of seven days no HRT, but it can be more if I want, so he suggested to just stick with seven days. He is a pretty old gynae (older than me 😆),but runs a bone density clinic and his specialty is menopause.
I'm 49 and suffered hot flushes for ten years. When I started on the Sequi a year ago (at 48), I did blood tests and a vaginal ultra sound (in his rooms), and was apparently at the start of the menopause, hence the Sequi as you say Hurdity. I had only missed a few periods and having had tests 6 months before that too, my gynae said there was a very large decrease in hormones since that point, matching my periods going away.
Now a year later I haven't had further blood tests but my gynae did the ultrasound and showed me (not that I could actually see it myself 😂) how my poor ovaries have shriveled, so there's been a lot of change again since then he says. Which is why when I voiced concern about my hair he said he thought I was ready to go on to this regime, which he said the Alzheimers Society (SA/UK/US/global? Not sure), is the most recommended one there is currently.
I have to take the utrogestan every day but he said to just phone if I get unwanted spotting and he will change my prescription to being cyclical again.
So Hurdity and CLKD, I assume that if this prescription is not suitable my body will let me know with the spotting?
One thing I did mention was that I've noticed a tiny bit of flushing lately on my Sequi and did that mean I needed more hormones? He said no, that was interference of my own hormones over the Sequi. He said the Sequi was the highest level of hormones I was allowed, so it's not possible to up it to get rid of all flushing. I assume the estrogen? Find that a bit confusing.
