Hi I’m new to this forum and would like some advice please. I’m 52, peri menopausal and been on HRT patches for nearly 2 years; started on Everol Sequi then after a review with my GP, she put me on Everol Conti which I’ve been on since Feb 2024. The patches help with peri symptoms- don’t feel angry all the time, hardly get hot flushes, however I still have periods. I wanted to ask if being on HRT meant I would continue to have periods- apologies for being very naive. My periods haven’t changed since being on HRT ie become lighter or less painful, so I’m considering speaking to my GP about a referral for a hysterectomy - I feel this is my only option to stop periods. I started my periods at 12, which have always been heavy and very painful and because of this I can only describe the last 40 years as a living hell. Just wanted to ask if anyone else is going through the same thing or been through this and there is light at the end of the tunnel. Or should I just wait to see if my periods eventually stop, any advice/suggestions welcome. Thank you for reading this and apologies for the long post.
