When I had my hysterectomy at 39 they removed my uterus and ovaries. I went on hrt for two years then took myself off. My mom does not believe I am going through menopause. I am 45 years old and been having insomnia for months. Also I do have mild depression and anxiety. I went back to the doctor and told him I have not been on hormones since 2015. He put me back on premarin and progesterone. He says it will take about 6 weeks for the hormones to balance out. I hope then maybe I should see an improvement in my sleep? What do you think?
This happened to me last year I’m 51 was waking up at 4.30 am just completely unable to sleep . I begged the dr for a sleep aid to get me back into a better pattern . He gave them to me and it all leveled out . Definitely think it’s hormones and adrenals .
Hello
I'm a bit confused myself, I always thought that if you have had a full hysterectomy you are in menopause. I have primary ovarian failure diagnosed at 16 and that was pretty much the same. I still have the bits, but they don't function. I'm 43 now and it's only been 4 months since I started taking bhrt, and had I known the damage not taking them would have.... I would have started straight away! Before I started the bhrt I couldn't sleep, I was exhausted with crippling anxiety. It took about 6 weeks to see some improvements but 3 months is when you get to the optimum dose. I would go with it, then go back to your doctor for a test to check your levels and see how you go. Hope you do well, stay strong xx
Well thanks for the update so 6 weeks for it to start working ?
My dr is nice but gave me no info on what to expect on the patch ... how long etc. it takes to start working . I’m just trying to figure it out myself 4 weeks in . Without the help of the ladies here I wouldn’t know anything . I’ve felt relief from the panic dizziness and fatigue but still feel weird blue dark moods . Don’t feel ‘myself ‘ yet .
