Hey you lovely lot,
Well, it’s been 5 weeks since the Mirena and I joined partnership.
I think it’s settling, got the occasional spotting/cramps etc but trying to ignore it.
Anyway, I’m still on the 75 patch and I’m beginning to think either I’m not absorbing well or I need more Oestrogen, i don’t know.
I feel “ okay” but anxiety is bubbling a bit, jittery, words a bit jumbled.
What I really want to do, is see where things are up to, without any HRT at all. I want to know if things will settle down ( 4 years post menopause) or whether I definitely require Oestrogen forever.
I would continue to use local Oestrogen.
Has anyone tapered off HRT slowly? Just stopped it immediately?
I know the obvious answer is to come off and see ( but scared 😱! )
Going to request a blood test to check absorption levels anyway.
Nas 😊
