Hi all
New to The forum but very happy to be here.
I’m 51 (52 in April) and recently went to the doctor about symptoms.
I’ve been on a continuous pill for about 15 years.
The advice was that I had to stop taking my pill and see if I got a period. To date I haven’t (5 weeks on so leaving a little longer)
The doctor said that because I’m under 55 I will have to have some medication to ‘force’ my body into having periods and then I can get HRT.
Then they will stop the force period meds when I reach 55!
The thought of having to have periods again fills me with dread!
I don’t take the pill for contraception I take it for pain. I can’t have children. And I can’t have the coil either.
Surely this can’t be right?
Forcing me to have periods?
Any advice would be appreciated x
