I thought I was coming through the end of it.
I used to need 100mcg evorel, they wanted to do a colonoscopy but IBS went as soon as Dr put me on evorel
Bleeding meant I had to go down to 25mcg was ok but had manageable night sweats.
I started getting symptoms back end of last year - IBS, return of menopause didn't occur to me, I wondered if it was part of the COVID I had, until I read it can return.
As my GP's were keen to do colonoscopy, I gradually upped my estradiol to 125mg, and the higher I go the better I feel. I buy the evorel privately.
I wonder why 100mcg is still not enough?
I wonder why symptoms have returned when I am 56?

I can relate to how you feel been going through it for 5 years and seems to have gone worse in the last year. Thought my periods had stopped not had one for nearly 7 months then Monday started a really heavy one again 🤨
