Hi, I posted a couple of weeks back and can’t seem to reply individually to the lovely ladies who replied with advice.
I just wanted to say a big thank you and (I hope this may help others) I’ve since discovered that the reason for my sudden dramatic recurring depression/peri menopause symptoms was actually due to my antibiotics (Doxycycline)
After tonnes of research I discovered that certain antibiotics can actually affect HRT (in my case it practically stopped it working at all)
Unfortunately, I need Doxycycline quite a fair bit in my life so this is going to be a big problem BUT I’m hoping the solution would be to up the Oestrogel whilst on the antibiotics.
Big lesson learnt, three weeks of being back in that awful scary dark place but I’ve come out the other side (I upped from 3 pumps to 4 pumps and am not on antibiotics any longer)
Hope this info may help someone at some point ☺️😊
