Hi all
This is my first post, so be kind
I am 54 years old and seem to have been perimenopausal forEVER. I have previously been prescribed combination HRT, but due to having fibroids these just made my bleeds really heavy and painful. Having to change super tampons and towels every hour. Therefore I returned to my GP who prescribed Femoston-conti 1mg. Initially these seemed to work as my night sweats and hot flushes disappeared, however, 4 months later and I have spotting/bleeding every other day. I went back to my GP who referred me for an Hysteroscopy. The consultant said that I should not have been put onto Femoston as I am not post menopausal. This was a shock to me that a GP had prescribed these when they clearly should not have had.
The added issue I have is that I am due to get married in 6 weeks time and that I have no idea when I am going to bleed. The consultant has recommended that I go back onto the original HRT, but has prescribed me another drug to help with the flow of the bleed. This means that I will know when to expect the bleed. All in all I am totally fed up with the situation. My sex life is out the window as I am constantly bleeding, I have a bloated stomach and also constantly tired and headaches (the last one lasted 2 whole days). I am desperate to get something sorted before I get married. I am worrying about the day, not for any other reason but how I am going to be feeling. Grrrr can someone offer any suggestions for alternative therapies that work?
Thanks in advance.
