Well lady's I've been ans told him how rubbish I still feel 

ie my night hot sweats my poor sleeping, my bones hurt

My moods and feeling low. So my docter said it was best for me to try HRT just a small doses of a natural hrt. He said it will make me feel so much better. I didn't won't to take hrt before I had the op but I felt I will try anything to make me feel better in my self. I understand it was a big op and I still have some way to go. But my back bones boobs hurt. I just hope it don't make me put weight on. Not sure if you lady's no much about hrt? 

Age 40 

post op 7 weeks 4 days .

Thanks for reading lady's 😍

    Hi Sam.im 44 had a Tah 8 weeks ago.i had always discussed with consultant that I would only do hrt after hysterectomy if and when I needed it, however within 24hours post op it was obvious I had gone into full blown surgical menapause, crying, joint pain sweats.so consultant put me on hrt patch called estraddiol 50.

    it comes in 3 doses im on lowest.its appernetly one of the better ones nd its a patch.

    its quite expensive so docs dont like prescribing it but it is available on prescription

    dont right hrt of it reallyy has a place and if the doctor suggests it try it

      Arr ty for you advise just what I needed. Do you feel better ? He wonted to wait untill 7 weeks incase they was any endometriosis was left that he didn't get do it would die. I don't no what it's called but I will let you later when I collect. I've gone for the tablet. You could have the patch or gel. Iam on the lowest dose to start to see how I get on. I feel like an old lady my bones hurt my back boobs. And can not sleep at night. And my hot flushes I get them mostly at night 

      They only last about 5 to 10 minutes.  Have you noticed it helping you. Xx

      Yes really has made a difference, still get the odd night sweats but probably 3 times only in last 6 weeks, I have slight bone pain hut nothing like before.

      my endometriosis has all gone, without ovaries it dies very quick.

      will be interested in what hrt your on and how you get on.good luck
