I'm 44. I've been on HRT since May 2018, tried 3 different one's. Prior to that I was on the pill, then I stopped taking the pill as I didn't see the point on staying on it as my partner had a vasectomy. I was have having night sweats, so went back on it at some point, but was having the usual 7 day breaks, so think that may of coincided with the sweats? I was also going through a stressful time as my dad moved from Scotland to stay with us, as he was diagnosed with a terminal illness. So think it was a combination of things that really triggered my symptoms and made them worse, as I was having night sweats and a couple of other symptoms in my mid 30's. Did the doc suggest hrt to you?
