Thank you all for your concern, I can't tell you how much I appreciate it.
I'm 50 in April and had two proper periods last year, around February and September, and a bit of spotting September and October. I first started getting irregular 5 years ago.
I was doing great, all the brain fog, anxiety and multitude of other symptoms had gone, I was happy again and getting on top of my diet at last....then the hot flushes, night sweats and very little sleep kicked in, which made me decide to try HRT.
I've had a talk to my husband tonight and I've decided I'm going to stop taking it. The flushes are bad, but will hopefully ease with time. I seem to have swapped those for sore breasts, bad skin, low mood and the return of periods and associated cramps. I know these will improve with time, but then the day will come when I have to deal with the flushes, so I may as well do it now.
Does anyone know if I should take the last two tablets of the strip, or can I give up now?
It's great being a woman isn't it?
Good luck to everyone whatever route they take x
