Hello , I hope that someone can give me some advice.I am 47 now and entered peri menopuase around the age of 42. AS I was considered to be having an early menopause I was advised that I should take HRT, which I was more than happy to do with all the horrible symptoms such as hot flushes, anxiety, insomnia and tiredness.Well, since going on Elleste Duet 2mg I have been more or less symptom free and much happier.What I wanted to know was when should I ask to considered to come off the sequential combined HRT and onto an Oestogen only HRT. I was still having periods when I was 41 (a bit irregular), but obviously I don't know whether I would be having them still as I am on HRT. The reason I want to think about this is due to the painful "periods " that I get on HRT.
I haven't been having annual check ups with my GP which I think I should have been having, but I am planning on making an appointment to discuss the options, and would like to be armed with information ( in my experience the advice that I have been given varies considerably depending on which GP you see in the practice)
All advice and help would be really appreciated.
Thanks x
