Hello everyone, I'm new here. I'm 36. I have had hot flushes and very erratic periods for two years and no period now for 9 months. Blood tests confirm menopausal levels (94). I've been offered pill or HRT by the GP and do not know what to do. I have started on the contraceptive pill because I was more familiar with it but so far it's made me feel quite queasy, though they have given me another one to try. I feel like the HRT may be better for me as the hormones are lower doses I believe, however, no-one can tell me whether there's still a risk of getting pregnant and if I do, would the HRT have an effect on any pregnancy.
It's so confusing and other than my husband I don't have anyone to talk to about it.
I've been referred to a gyno but still waiting for a letter after 6 months.
If anyone could offer any advice I'd be grateful.
Thanks.
