Hello all,
Its been a long time since I've posted anything as things have been ‘ok' but I need some advice ( I used to SpiderGirl78 but Ive had to re-register)
I am classed as having Primary Ovarian Failure as periods stopped under 35 – I was 32 when told, 36 now and have been taking HRT since then on doctors recommendation as it helps keep heart healthy and bones strong. I am on my 4th HRT (Kliovance this time) and this has to be the worst of the lot so far – Ive about 8lbs in two months despite the fact that I am really active, workout and run 4-5 times a week and have a good diet. Im only 5ft 2 and the weight has all gone on my middle so is really noticeable to me., Im sluggish all the time and have no energy. On top of that night sweats have returned with a vengeance! I am seriously considering just stopping the HRT and looking for natural alternatives for the flushes etc and take Calcium and Vit D for my bones, like I said Im fit and have a healthy diet so heart should be ok?! Im talking to the docs this afternoon but want to know if any other early meno ladies out there are coping without the HRT? Thanks x
