Another new member and new to hrt. In fact I'm brand new as just started my first pump of oestrogel today. I have to do 1 pump then days 15-26 200mg utrogestan.
My blood tests showed
Serum fsh level 17 u/l
Serum lh level 25 u/L
If this means anything to anybody.
I'm 48 and been having terrible sweats since beginning of year and periods becoming more irregular. Have suffered with terrible anxiety and depression the last couple of years which is worse on a morning. I was started on venlafaxine which really helped so I could function again but it's returned and I'm terrified I go back to the way I was. I have been on citilopram on and off over the years so doctor tried that but it made me worse. Then tried sertraline which ended badly with such agitation. It seems I became resistant to ssri's
So I'm trying hrt as doctor thinks perimenopause could be making my symptoms worse. I would like to know what to expect over the next few weeks so I can be prepared im very cautious since my ssri disaster
I feel like I've entered another world it's like growing up all over again if you know what I mean.
Thank you to anyone who reads this and please pass on any pearls of wisdom
