Hi everyone,
I’m on cycle 15 of Oestrogel 3 pumps and Utrogestan 200mg 12 nights per month.
First off my mood isn’t as stable as when I first began and can get very low which seems to be cyclical.
Also, a weird thing happens when I’m on the oestrogen only weeks now, it’s like I completely dehydrate after holding water which causes loose crepey skin that is very dry, my mouth is really dry and bowels sluggish and really dry. Yet, I’m not too dry in the lady bits but not as comfortable as when I first began HRT.
With the shortage and delays I was worried about running out so where I’d normally not use the last bit of the bottle I did, would that have caused such issues?
It’s confusing as I was doing really well at one point and now it’s like I’m short of something, is it that I’m not on enough oestrogen or dies my body not like being without progesterone tablets?
I’m 53, when I began HRT I’d missed eight periods. I’ve been having very light or nil bleeds whilst on the HRT. Dunno if I’m menopause or not yet and I don’t know when or how I’ll know.
Any thoughts or information or advice greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
