Hi all
I am so glad I found this forum, so much helpful information.
I wanted to see whether the following sounds like I am perimenopausal?
I am 46 years old currently on Rigevidon combined pill. Have been on this pill for years no problems.
Recently I went on holiday and had a panic attack, couldn't sleep having hot flushes. Anyway decided we needed to come home.
Since being back from holiday insomnia has got 10 times worse, I have hot flushes, nausea and lack of appetite. I went for a FSH Blood test (Awaiting results), but my understanding is they are not very helpful depending on where you are in your cycle.
Currently trying to get appointment with GP once bloods are through.
My question is do I sound perimenopausal and also if the GP decides I need some form of HRT, how long would I have to come of the pill before this would be allowed? As I still have a period no idea where my body is at!
I know this is all subject to perspective, but wondered if anyone had been through similar and could advise.
Thanks everyone, at tired individual!
