Hi there, I'm new on here, but decided to sign up as would be so nice to talk with other ladies going through this hell!! On day 4 of elleste 1mg and I'm on the brink of crying all the time. I guess I thought I mite have side effects but didn't realise I would feel like this on top of all the other symptoms of early menopause. Please someone tell me it gets better!! On top of this me and partner are arguing as I don't think he understands what I'm feeling and just thinks I'm being a miserable cow. It's a fairly new relationship (6 months) and he didnt sign up for this! So difficult keeping it all together today 😔
Hi, I totally understand how you are feeling, but please don't worry as when your HRT kicks in you will feel a whole lot better. I think you may notice a diffference in your mood within 2 weeks but certainly within a month. I have been on HRT for a while now and it is amazing. Good luck and don't worry to much.
Hi Mel............I am now 63 and my husband came with me to the Doctor 11 years ago when I was in the same place as you, he's 15 years younger than me so (bless him) he also didn't sign up for it, but it does get better, I am still on HRT and have had a couple of different types because body and HRT needs change, if you don't soon start to improve and I mean within a couple of weeks, ask for an alternative, you might need more progesterone or oestrogen but it's your body and you deserve to feel your best!
Hi, the HRT takes upto 2 weeks to kick in, so just hold onto that thought. I have been on it for over 21 years and trying to stop it from time to time to see if I can go without it, but I can't so I go back again. It always takes 2 weeks for all the symptoms to disappear, but they will!! If you explain that to your partner I am sure he will understand, as long as he knows what is going on and you are not some sort of hysterical woman. Good luck, it won't be long and you will feel your normal and happy self again!! :-)
Mel dont be sad
Its not all that bad
Once the HRT kick in
You will be out of the bin
Relationship will be fine
It just takes time
Dont let it bet you
Otherwise you will end up like a stew
Take care

Hi Mel,
I started the 2mg elleste on Wednesday,was very worried and anxious,but could not go on with the way i have been feeling for the last few months...I know its early days but Saturday and Sunday night i have slept all the way through with out the dreaded night sweats!!All i am hoping now is that i can get my life back on track and start running again,cause lately all i want to do when i get in from work is sit.The only way is up!!
Keep smiling...
Hi Mel,
How are you feeling now on the HRT? I started yesterday. I am wondering when it will kick in. I have horrid sleep patterns and my skin is itchy. A lot of anxiety. I just want me back!!!!!!
