Feeling good is the best thing for your health!
Isn't that the truth!
But we don't know that until at least 12 months without any bleeds. Then the ovaries might have a party and again, there is a bleed. Scans can show the depth of the womb lining which gives a guide as to whether more investigations are required.
HRT may kick in the ovaries again. Cliniicans often aren't aware!
I doubt my body would be able to do an entire pregnancy now, but hrt certainly seems to help my body do what it used to do with regards to a monthly bleed. After over a year of no bleeding I got HRT and it's not just an occasional bleed thereafter, it's every month I get PMT, a 5 day period, cramps and no bleeding in between periods. After a year they switched me from conti to sequi. They don't tell you about this, I was delighted when my periods stopped, I didn't want them back. I'd been feeling better than ever in some respects before starting HRT at age 52.
I'd felt stronger emotionally, can't explain, just less easily rattled. Physically I stopped having low iron, first time in my adult life without supplements that hurt my tummy, so I felt stronger that way.
I found the hot flushes difficult, I'd be soaked to the skin in seconds and need to go change, black cohosh helped. In fact I'm sipping a cup of black cohosh tea right now, for me it helps it stop sooner, each flush is shorter and less soaking.
Evorel50 did nothing for me at all, so taking provera was torture with no attached benefits, I stopped that after 13 weeks.
Estradot50 and utrogestan is better for me, but I'm still not sure of an overall benefit to how I feel. I'm trading off my mental health for a few less sweats and I'm stubborn enough to keep trying, but I'm really not sure HRT is for me overall.
Roll on age 54 and being allowed tibolone!
