Hi all, Looking for a bit of encouragement and wisdom.
I'm 43, almost 44 and have been perimenopausal for a couple of years.
All the women in my family have early menopause. Generally finished with periods before 45.
I've been spotting bleeding since mid Aug, have been on the mini pill (progesterone) to make it stop, which it has, but as soon as I stop taking it, the spotting starts again.
I also suffer bad Joint pain, but no other menopause symptoms.
I'm talking to the doctor tomorrow and she said that she will start me on HRT tomorrow.
I'm reluctant, but I feel like I have run out of options.
I'm mainly reluctant as I was hoping to have no periods at all in a year or two, but with HRT goodness know what it will do to my bleeding pattern.
Thanks in advance
