Just wondered if you ladies feel alot worse on your period, after you finish do the symptoms ease off a bit. Also ladies that are on hrt and still having periods do you still feel worse round that time regardless of taking hrt.
I have been on hrt for 6 weeks Tibolone, and having my first period whilst on it but my period was later than usually is, the symptoms are still awful though, nervous feeling/anxious b4 came on, moody, my itching is just soo bad atm I can't cope with it any more ☹️ headache all day everyday, frequent toilet visits all night. I'm just so tired of it all!! ☹️
Hi Sarah, We are having a similar day. I’m not on HRT, doc wouldn’t give it to me (getting another opinion). Usually once my period is over, the antidepressant kicks in and helps me out. Period ended 3 days ago. I still feel like hell. I’m fairly certain my head is going to explode today. Oh joy, my short break will be over soon as my last few periods have been every 21 days🙄. I feel like I’m being punished...seriously. I’m sorry you feel like crap! Seems a good day to do some venting! 😩
Yes I started getting my period again after 6 months of none . on BHRT . It just ended and was AWFUL! Sooooo down tired ... I just ripped the patch off last night . Can’t take it anymore . I thought it was the progesterone Messing with my emotions but even on Estrogen only I felt awful.
Hi Lori, I am about to toss my Lexapro in the bin! But, at this point, I’ll probably have withdrawal side effects. 🤪I think we’re all having one of those days. Or year...but who’s counting! Just sucks.
Yeah we definitely are, I'm just more confused cause on hrt, doc didn't really explain much about it just said you should feel better in 2:days, I actually did feel near normal for first 2 weeks then 3rd week and till now symptoms crept back in then period, I didn't even know if I was gonna get one let alone the awful symptoms get b4, during and after. I am fed up with taking pills now and nothings helping, if I take anymore will be rattling 😦I take atm hrt one tab a day, menopace multi vit 1 a day, anti histamine for itching when really bad like now, indegestion tabs cause think have acid reflux Thing is before all this only tab I took was for a migraine every few months it really gets you down ☹️
How long you been on lexapro? Yeah I'm worried if decide to quit this hrt do I just stop or take every other day then stop, just fed up with not knowing what's going on with it and just going through this peri not taking anything and riding it out.
I'm thinking of quitting mine to and just riding it out without it as seems there's not much choice if your still having periods, I read most of your posts on here and know your really struggling, there's just no proper help is there ,it's awful!!
Hi Sarah, just finished my 8th week. I’ll stick with it another month. Like you, I’m just aggravated, My hormones are causing all this...but no help for me either. If I complain, they’ll just throw a different AD my way. Already dealt with the Lex side effects. Don’t want to get on that ride again! I ordered a progesterone cream, then chickened out and cancelled it. Going to a new gyno next month to see if she has any wisdom to share. Gosh, I am just riding the negative train today! 🙄
Yeah I'm confused to . I still had periods b4 started the hrt and thought they stopped so least would get some relief as it's worse b4, during and after period so just fed up with not knowing what's happening and I feel 80 atm to with lower back pain, ankle pain, finger joint pain and thinking is the hrt making it worse.
I usually look forward to my symptoms abating as soon as my flow begins. But this month, my tummy seems to be really bubbly, and is not slowing down. Since it started last night, I'm Praying that I'll feel better tomorrow. I'm always paranoid that I've picked up a bug.(The darn peri / meno health anxiety!!)
(....maybe it's that keylime pie and 2 Klondike bars I ate night before, in the midst of cravings..😜
But usually symptoms go away when period starts. Feel better!
