Hi folks..
Ok Im really just not doing well on hrt. I have been on it 2 years now. aged 50 and bloods showing post meno now even though I had a bleed 6 months ago.
Usually 2 pumps oestragel and utrogeston 11 days pm vaginally 1 tablet only 100mg.
I am very sensitive to all drugs this I know, and I am intolerant to progesterone, even my own progesterone (bring out a rash on my body every month)
SO main reasons for going on it-
Waking at 4 every night (insomina)
Hot flushes- but not sweats.
Crippling anxiety- constantly worrying about nothing
Big stomach bloat, irregular periods
Very emotional- feeling like Im going crazy and everyone else around me thought it too.
So HRT fixed all these things along with joint aches which I didnt realise were menopause caused.
BUTTTT no 2 years on, I am not peri anymore and bloods and doc have said Im post meno.
I have felt like my symptoms have been creeping back in so decided to up my oestrogel gel to 3 pumps instead of 2 . I did this for 4 days and became a over emotional wreck with an appetite of a starved person

. I could NOT stop eating...

So today I have decided after alot of towing and throwing with HRT, 2 years later and possibly post meno to stop HRT.
Yesterday I took only 1 pump of oestragel, I will do the same today.
My sleep was erratic last night but not too bad.
My ferocious appetite has gone thank goodness, I have gained 1 stone since starting HRT mostly up a cup size, hips and tum so do not want to gain anymore.

My main reason for trying to quit HRT tbh is progesterone, I feel so so bad on it, depressed angry, really I become a horrible person. The kids leave their shoes/clothes thrown on the ground, usually Id pick them up but during these 11 days of progesterone I would go through them for a shortcut,

I just don't want to be this person.
So I'm just wondering if there is ANYONE out there like me that gave it up and how it worked out for them.
love to allxx
