I'm new on here, and a little nervous about starting my HRT! I started Peri at 44 (now 50) and thought I was going mad for a few years! lots of tingling, feeling low, anxious, dizzy spells and more! My Dr just kept offering me blood tests (think just to get rid of me)
They always just came back as low iron, and she said I was just stressed as I worrying too much.. And said I was too young to be perimenopausal.
anyway! I decided to go private to get help as it's now 18 months since a period and still having lots of typical symptoms so I know I'm now in menopause. I could have cried with relief after speaking to a menopause specialist and she told me everything I was feeling were text book symptoms! and the relief of knowing I wasn't going mad! I have been prescribed Sandrena Gel, Utrogestan & Vagifen. I'm waiting for delivery of them which will be this week, but I am a little apprehensive about starting them!
I've been having a good read through the forum messages and it's such a relief to know it's not just me!
So I just wanted to say hi xx
