Hi everyone,
I have just joined up after reading and looking at the great support and help you all give each other ( even my GP has recommended your website to me )
I have had a 'grumpy weekend' after starting my 1st period in over 20 years !!! I am 54 and was prescribed Indivina 2mg/5mg after blood tests, the tablets did not agree with me and after 2/3 weeks of stomach cramps I gave up and stopped taking them- then my period came, though light I had bad cramps. My history is briefly had Polycystic ovaries and Endometrosis in my early thirties and prescribed the pill until starting HRT last month. I had my last period in my early 30's.
My menopause symptoms seem classic and my energy levels are all over the place, was really hoping HRT would help, perhaps expecting too much ?!!!
Anyway, I now have a lower dose HRT, Premique 0.3mg/1.5mg but as we are going away a few days next week I have decided not to start them till I come home ! hopefully my period will have vanished by then too !!
Gosh it seems all so complicated after steadily taking the pill for so many years. Was wondering if coming off the pill and then HRT gave me the period ?
Thanks ladies for listening x
