Hey Guys,

So my brain fog/Memory is awful and my Dr is upping my HRT once again to see if this helps, but in the mean time I just wondered if anyone experienced a stutter with there's?? Mine has been for last few months... I really struggle to get words out or finish sentences....

Hi there

Which hrt are you on? It happens to me when I go through utrogestan withdrawal x

[lisa06031510]

I'm on 125mg of estrodot the patches but going up to 150mg

[Perinowpost]

Do you use progesterone?

[lisa06031510]

Nope, what is that?? The Dr just keeps upping my HRT every time I struggle with a symptom... I will be just one massive walking hormone soon 😅

[Perinowpost]

It’s the hormone you need to take to protect your womb (presuming you don’t have yours) from too much oestrogen. Progesterone withdrawal can be quite brutal, and I struggle to speak coherently at this time as it takes such a toll on my body.

Hope this helps x

I don't have my womb no more.... I had a blood test to make sure my body was absorbing the HRT and it is... I just don't know at what point the Dr can try something else?!?

I stutter and stammer in the middle of a sentence. I forget the word I am looking for and my mind goes blank. It is frustrating.

Is this since Menopause as well? How is your brain fog?

Yes it only came with menopause. I get brain fog a lot too.

Maybe your oestrogen is too high,; too high can be as problematic as too low. I stumble on my words when my body is struggling (because of the progesterone), maybe your body is struggling too but for a different reason.

The only other thing I can think of is to try testosterone, if you’re not already that is?

Just to add that it's also a symptom of high anxiety, not always hormone related.

[Perinowpost]

I’m sure it is Ayesha. Funnily enough it always used to happen to me when my period was due. I’d be fine for the rest of the time. So there is a direct correlation (for me) when I’m not well and conversely I might be anxious then because of how I’m feeling - if you see what I mean x

That is a very good point.

[lisa06031510]

I had my levels tested when I was put on 125mg and they said I was fine to be in that amount so I'm assuming it was all ok.

Yeah my anxiety is a bit more up and down at the mo as well actually... I just thought it was to do with the brain fog as I always ALWAYS forget what I'm saying
