Hi , I’m new to this group and I thought I would say hello and glad to have support on my menopausal journey .
I started HRT 10 months ago , Evoril Sequii 50 mcgs transdermal patches at age 51. I didn’t realise my 14 symptoms that I had lived with for a number of years before , were related to the menopause . After seeing a TV programme I realised I was perimenopausal and needed advice .
So 10 months on , my symptoms have either improved or disappeared .However , I have a few concerns that I need advice about
Firstly , I am having regular monthly bleed but I start on my last week of Progesterone patch ( Conti) . Is this normal to happen ? If not what is happening and what should I do ?
Secondly , recently my joints in my hips and wrists ache when I wake up and my right knee is sore when I climb steps . I wake up st night feeling anxious / panicky and last week I had 2 nights of vivid dreams , in which I had been crying in my sleep .
Can anyone advise ?
