Hello Ladies! I just wanted to give you a quick update on my sleep issues!

I have been fairly lucky so far with the whole menopause thing, but I was so sick of waking up at 5am every day! Not great when you work shifts!

So I saw a local menopause specialist who was really lovely, and she has given me a small dose of Lenzetto, and some vagifem (why do they have to use such unsexy names! 
 
And so far, I have had the best nights sleep for several months! Hurray!!!

I also have a new relationship, so life is finally making me smile again!

I’m not here to boast, just trying to provide some hope for ladies who are struggling!

So lovely to hear some positivity! I am also on Lenzetto (primary symptoms were night sweats and middle of the night insomnia) and so far it has been great for me too, although I am on too high a dose and need to reduce. Can I ask how old you are and what dose of it you take? xx

Hi Gilla999

Yes, I’m 49, and haven’t had a period for about 2 years.

I’ve been fairly lucky, but sleep has been an issue!

I’m taking one pump/spray, which I think is the equivalent of 0.25 patches?

The patches didn’t really do anything for me, but I find this spray provides just the right amount

That's great to hear! I also couldn't get on with the patches. So lovely to hear a positive story

Hi Sleepy123,

good to hear a positive story. Can I ask if you take any progesterone with the spray ?

I am glad you are feeling relief.

I am confused though because I thought it was the progesterone part of HRT that relaxes you, and as it opposes oestrogen, the ingredient in Lenzetto, I would have thought the oestrogen would be a wakey hormone.

I ask this because I have just changed from 50mcg oestrogen gel to 50mcg oestrogen patch and I think the patch is giving me too much as I wake up much more anxious since changing.

I used to use 100mcg oestrogen but the two reductions did not cause extra anxiety.

Love a good news story! 

I have recently added 3 Lenzetto Sprays to my 200mcg Estradot patches with some effect. The Specialist is now adding Testosterone to the combination to see if it improves things further.
It’s a bit of a lottery isn’t it
