Hi Julie, I'm 46 and in peri. Been here for 5 years struggling. Extra estrogen poisons me and I've since found out that's because I'm unbalanced.
My estrogen is not high, it's normal, but my progesterone is very low.
Some take progesterone for this. I've had testing done to confirm that's my case.
So, depends where you are on this journey. I am no where near ready for conventional HRT prescribed via the NHS as it always consists of estrogen - which makes me feel worse.
The alternatives section has some threads on progesterone only. X
