I am close to menopause due to my symptoms and hormone levels. In the last 2 months I have been seeing a little bit of white discharge on my underwear every day. It's not itchy, an infection or yeast, as I had it tested. Anybody else get this before menopause?

      Hi cazjaz,

      I am 55, and had my hormones checked. My estrogen has dropped significantly over the last 3 years. My doctor said I am in perimenopause. I have night sweats that wake me up several times a night. Anxiety. Tired during the day. Vaginal dryness and irregular periods. I don't know if I am close to menopause but at 55, I think I should be!

      Every symptom I get makes me even more anxious.

      I'm 52 my doctors have always said blood tests are not accurate for testing menopausal symptoms so never had any done. But will Say hot sweating at night is a sure sign you are entering the menopause

      My doctor gave me Estrace, which is an estradiol vaginal cream. He told me to use a tiny bit every night. i have been hesitating because I was trying to avoid hormones, but I think I may have to give in. I am in the US and I don't think we have Ovestin. Ovestin sounds safer than Estrace because it is a weaker form of estrogen.

      Ovestin is fab

      i use the ovestin vag ovules (estriol) and the cream for outer bits 

      as gyno suggested .. Wouldnt be without it .. 

      Dont take other HRT only this for dryness and it only treats that..

      its calles Ovestinon here where i am
