Hi there. Do you know what? my ectopics have more or less gone now. It's been quite a few blissful months of calm. The gynaecologist that I am seeing is convinced it is the HRT which has got rid of them. I started on 2 pumps of gel and still had ectopics so then went up to 3 pumps and still had them, with bleeding, so I went back to 2 pumps and some months later they faded. I may still get the odd thump but nothing like 1000 ectopic beats per day. I still freak out with one, so you can imagine how miserable and scared I was having about 1000 a day. I really sympathise with you. I cut out loads of stuff when I was having them and nothing really worked. I am now back on tea and chocolate etc and am not afraid to have any possible triggers. I suspect all along that it was the imbalance of hormones.
However, I still feel pretty rubbish, though sooo thankful the ectopics are not ruining my life at the mo. I just went onto 3 pumps without asking my GP and then told them and they didn't mind. It does sound like you need to experiment to find an equilibrium. I am not sure where to go from here personally. I am on all the "trendy stuff" as my gynae has said, two pumps of oestrogel, utrogestan daily and one pump of testosterone every other day. The magic moment has not yet arrived for me. I still feel tired (even though I sleep so well), dizzy and stiff with digestive problems. However, the atrophy has improved a bit so that's already two major things.
I hope you sort yourself out soon. It really is such a tough time where you feel rubbish, get things investigaged and nothing is often found. I can't believe all these celebs on TV who said they felt better over night after rubbing in a bit of gel. How lucky.
