HRT life is good again.....
Posted , 25 users are following.
Hi ladies I just wanted to share some
Positive feedback. I know HRT is not a
Solution for everyone but it seems to be
Working for me after 4 years of misery
Wasted years now that I look back.
I have lots of energy, I could barely make it out of bed before, the depression has gone and the terrible aggressive grumpiness too
Thank god. I am taking a patch its been 6
Weeks now and my gyneocologist takes the same one. I am 50 and my periods stopped at 46 and I was unhappy for 4 years. I have a 9 year old son, and I wanted to enjoy him.
I know there are risks but for me I want to
Enjoy now and not waste the years I have.
My gyneocologist is very supportive around the same age as me and is pro HRT. I know not all doctors are. I hope you all find a way to get through this awful stage of life for me it had to be full on chemical warfare ! ! Lol 😁

Sorry for the late reply I have been off
Enjoying life !
My patch is Femsept Evo
I live in France but I don't know the
Equivalent.
I noticed a difference in 2 weeks but I did have a period after 8 days bit of a shock after 4 years. Generally I feel
Better am going to a check up with
Gynecologist tomorrow. I did have an awful dip a week ago and felt as bad as ever dont know why. It takes 3
Months to work apparently.
Give it a try it's not perfect but almost.
😊

Here's an interesting article on HRT that you should all read..........take a look at the Women's Health article written by Mallory Locklear captioned: 'This Heart Doctor Wants to Clear Up Confusion About HRT'.
A complete turn around! And I agree with Dr Howard N Hodis 100%.

I am one who cannot survive without oestrogen. My body (and mind) falls apart when my oestrogen gets low for some reason. My gp phoned with results of my oestrogen test today as I felt that it was getting low, and sure enough, I was not imagining it. I have an oestrodion pellet made by a compound chemist implanted in a fatty bit of my abdomen, but they do not last as long as the original ones used to. When they get low, I start supplementing with patches until I get another one implanted.
I am 65 and I do not intend stopping using oestrogen, but it has to be transdermal oestrodiol for me. I have had drs attempt to insist that I stop and I tell them that the studies they are quoting have been proven fraudulent years ago. There are so many myths still believed by the medical fraternity.

I do hope more people read that article.
I honestly think women on HRT are often more alert, more energetic and stay younger longer.

Femsept Evo and by the end of about 5 days they are peeling up at the edges. You have to press hard for 30 seconds at the beginning. I feel after about 5 days the effects are starting to wear off do you ? My Gyneo told me they are supposed to last 7 days but if I want to I can change them earlier, although the pharmacy won't like !
Have been on them almost 3 months and at the beginning I felt so great but have had an awful dip a week ago, feeling as bad as ever, is this normal ?
Now feeling better again.... Hope you are too.

I have now found a compound chemist who makes the implant pellets and have gone back to them.

so hope I can continue with these. Still rather lethargic compared to active I was a few years ago. Will note other meds you girls are taking & see how it goes. btw these are staying on fine. Thanks. Found out I can't
get these on repeat scrip, have to go to Doctor every month which is a nuisance as I work full time & trying to get appointments can be tricky.

Hi smartie65
Like I said to judylady I'm scared of using them..
Did it improve your mood anxiety and general well being because at the moment I'm feeling very low and dare I say it weird somewhat !!!!
How much estradiol are you on..??

Its been 3 months almost and am up and down, some days like today I feel great about a week ago I felt as bad as ever. Not sure if all HRT is the same.
Its all a big nightmare there is no perfect solution I think. X
