Hello Ladies, I am now 2 years since my last period and stopping HRT. I tried HRT whilst in peri-menopause but I found it gave me terrible mood swings, even on a low dose. I just found the progesterone bit affected my sleep and mood. 2 years on without HRT and I am managing pretty well, I feel my symptoms in general are really minimal and in the last year my sleep has been pretty good. The only thing I am noticing is my skin has really started to sag and my muscle strength is poor. I am also about to re-start a sexual relationship with my partner who I separated from but we are now back together, we haven't had sex for 5 years. Of course I am worried about how it will be, will I be able to have sex? Should I get some vaginal oestrogen first? Any advice would be welcome. I'm also wondering if I should try HRT again. When I was on it before I was coming up to menopause so I am wondering now, post menopause by two years, would I find I am more level on it.
Thanks for reading.
