After the worst few months and unbearable times, I decided to put my reservations about HRT to one side and see an HRT consultant who was lovely and seemed to know his stuff. So with trepidation I am starting on the journey. I will post progress / observations if it is of any use to anyone??
Yes please do. Just started on evorel sequi 50 patches myself last Friday
Hi Carole. I collected my tablets today too but am putting my start date on hold for a few weeks. I have been prescribed Tridestra and I will a bleed 10-12 weeks in (just when I go on holiday), hence the dealy. However, I am a bit worried about weight gain, I am already a Fatty battling the bulge!
Hi Carole
I for one would love to hear about how it goes. I was prescribed HRT 16 mths ago and as yet haven't had the courage to start them despite my partner saying " take the bloody pills!" after I have fallen over for the 7th time and practically forgotten my own name! Good luck xx
Hi Carole,
Yes please let us know. I started HRT about a year ago, Premetin. I am so much better I can't rave about it enough.
I was one that wouldn't even take an aspirin.
You will become more the person you had known in the past, by this I mean, your skin becomes alive again ( I had dry patches here and there), you will be more at ease with daily situations (I was jumping out of my skin) I sleep like a bear now (up all night at 3:00 on the dot before HRT)
It really helps you get back to feeling more like yourself. I know I would of never made it without this much needed help.
Best of Luck!
You came to the right place, the people on this site are awesome!!!
Hugs, Maggie
Yes please post updated.
I'm right behind you. Scared to try it so it sits on my kitchen counter.
Hi CC,
How are you my dear friend?
Has the book been helping you?
Hugs, Maggie

Hugs back

Hi CC,
I'm so happy I got to touch base with you. I tried to find you but had no luck. Like I said I'm new to this.
Well like we said before there's no coincidences with God!
I responded to Carole and of all people you commented right after me!! Lol
So glad the book is in your life!
Powerful stuff!
Take Care,
Maggie xo
I am glad I commented!
If you see the little envelope on the right of the comment screen you can email directly to anyone.
They don't allow names of products or links in the comment area so to get around that people privately message that way.
Hope that helps. It's taken me awhile to figure it out.
Hugs to you!

Hi ladies. Well I have gel for estrogen, estradiol I think it's called. Started that last night whilst bawling my eyes out. At least it might save me a fortune in tissues...... I have to take progesterone for 12 days starting 1 June. It's all foreign territory. I'm in uk and he did say that all UK GPS will be getting new NICE guidelines on menopause shortly to help them feel confident in dealing with it. They should be made public too i would have thought. I had no idea how complex perimeno could be in terms of emotional and psychological symptoms. Have a good day everyone x
I would love to hear how you are going - I have been on Femoston Continue around a month - little better but no where near the success I had with previous two hrt mess. For those hesitant to start pls do it is life saving stuff
Hi carol. ...I'm routing for you huni. Let us know how your getting on with it as I'm scared of taking mine !!!! :-( ( because of all the side effects ) I'm already depressed and crying continously and its effecting my beautiful children of which are still very young. ..( im a single mum ) ....can't do with this any more and my quality of life is low while I continue to put up with it...You go girl !! I just want to be helped in the right direction. . :-(
Mine too!! Every time I go into the kitchen it's there starring at me...I'm frightened to put them on!!! :-(
Hi Rhino.
I'm just so so scared to take mine. I have patches Evorel Conti.i guess I've been put off by having prempack c.1.25 mg they didn't agree with me..horrid !! Like I've said to carole all I do is bawel my eyes out very nearly every day, depressed and jittery the headaches, migraines and god knows has raised their ugly heads. My question is was it very bad for you before you took these and did they help? Please reply as I need advice.thankyou hundreds.
I did a lot of reading before I went for my appointment. We discussed possible risks in future vs quality of life now. Also, various types of hrt. For me, bio identical hrt via gels and (excuse if too much info) pessaries was more appealing than pills which bypasses stomach and liver etc. Definitely didn't want anything derived from horses wee. I really don't like taking anything which interferes with nature but am so low and feel like my head isn't my own, plus huge anxiety, aches in joints, hot flushes, not sleeping, hyper sensitive etc
I'm also a single mum, just made redundant and anything which can help is good by me :-)
Hang in there Denise. Hopefully a few shared experiences will help you to make the right decision for you and your kids. Xx
Thank you carole. This is dibillatating for me...I'm not getting any flushes but this depression and crying all the time is exhausting! !. I'm supposed to be going out tonight but it's almost as if my body does not want me to enjoy myself anymore..
I'm so sorry for what your going through right now what with the redundancy I know; I've been there :-(
mums have it hard because you're trying to put a brave face on for the sake of the kids but it's too hard for me right now..I feel lost through my tears...
I'm the same Denise, anxiety, depression, crying....its not pretty! I've also gone weirdly territorial regarding personal space. It's just rubbish :-(
Hi Maggie how long did they take to kick in?
I would be on Evorel Conti ( I'm from England), if I only have the courage to take them..
