Hi ladies
I need to make a decision on whether or not to take a chance and change my hrt and would really appreciate your thoughts and advice.
Ok so i've been taking femoston 2/10 now for 2 years. It took a long time, about 18 months, to achieve some quality of life so i'm very nervous to change and risk losing that. However i keep wondering if i could be feeling a lot better than i am.
I still wake very suddenly every morning about 7ish with a huge adrenalin rush, cant go back to sleep no matter how tired i am, these rushes just keep coming, i'd love a lie in!! So up i get. Then for about an hour or so i feel very low and anxious. This gradually lifts and the rest of the day is not too bad.
I have to say this is a huge improvement on how i was 2 years ago, a quivering wreck, but should i expect to be better than this by now or just be grateful for what i've got?
I have thought about changing to a patch as the systemic approach seems kinder to your body, i dont have any problems with progesterone but have read up on utrogestan as a possible alternative.
I'm 51 and could be still having periods, i'm not sure where i am with my owncycle so all these ups and downs could be linked to that. Has anyone experienced these early morning lows and sudden waking but found they disappear after a few years, maybe when periods have finally stopped? I would stick with my current hrt if this was the case and make the change when i'm post meno and swapping to a conti hrt.
Sorry if i'm rambling on a bit, i'm just a bit anxious about what to do for the best. Your thoughts would be really helpful.
Thanks all
