Where do you feel most anxiety from ? Or is coming from ? Me it's below ,uncomfortable even to sit as I've got sciatica .
Get there eventually .I don't seem to get as many hot flushes ,so there dying off little light at end of my tunnel .Bloody hormones governing our female lives daily .

I've tried two different types of HRT so far, neither suitable, after reading a reputable medical article (my Dad sent to me), yes I'm lucky enough to have a hero for a Dad. Anyway the professionals are convinced that you have to keepo trying until you find the Tailor made HRT for you...........
But, like you I just want it fixed, the moods, the hot flashes, the emotional roller coaster. Last week I was totally bonkers (period), I'm peri as well
I get so depressed,
I don't feel quallified to advice you on the natural alternative to HRT but I wanted you to know YOU'RE NOT ALONE Fudgey
I take an anti-depressant called Sertraline (Zoloph) and it has helped me so much
I'm waiting to see what the other girls have to say
So long Fudgey B

I was on natural progesterne i was jumpy on it had a bad headache, felt weak, felt like my speech slowed down, felt like i was going to fall out that why i called the 1 800 number and they did tell me that yes it can cause this so i made a complaint.
If you are having that much problems with HRTs then i would not suggest for you to take natural progesterone what you read it still has its side effects.
I would talk to your doctor and see what he recomends
Its up to you and what you want to do because everybody is different and it may be right for you but just weigh the options if HRTs are not working how would the natural progesterone work look at the options and how you feel on the HRTs and talk to your doctor

Have you established that you need progesterone (progestogen) or oestrogen? Investigate the bio-identical oestradiol transdermal patches (matrix). They come in measures of 25, 50, 75, 100. There is also oestradiol daily gel satchets. Perhaps it is possible to use a gel on your worst days.
Progestogen appears to be the most problematic hormone but is essential for some women. Keep it light, some drs prescribe way too much, thereby causing problems.
I have been using oestradiol for 25 years without any problems (early hysterectomy, oopherectomy). It is miracle stuff.

It has not really been scientifically proven that hrt causes breast cancer. An early study which came out with that result was flawed. Oestrogen protects your heart among other things, and the latest stats said one in four women die of heart disease post untreated menopause.
Just remember, not all oestrogens are equal. You must do your homework to find the best one, and don't depend on myths.
