Is anyone taking HRT and could you tell me if it’s worth it?
I’ve been wanting a hysterectomy but the waiting list is huge and I have to lose some weight which seems impossible for me as my peri-menopause thinks that is hilarious.
Any insight would be welcome 🥰

I’m on around week 7 I think and think it is but I’m just trying to control the flushes

Thank you 😊

So can you go on HRT before you actually reach the menopause?

it's recommended that you go on HRT in the perimenopause, I've been on it since May, made a huge difference to me, I'm also taking Well Woman 50+ tablet daily and just started calcium tablets with magnesium as a daily tablet, I'm feeling so much better since I started all these things, I recommend talking to your Doctor or Nurse practitioner

I’m on week 2 of HRT and so far hot flushes are still coming thick and fast but not giving up hope just yet x

yes get to your GP with a list of your symptoms. Mine are still pretty regular (unfortunately) and I’ve been on it since last June. I think like everyone I’m hot because of the weather. I also take menopace as a top up xx

A call to the docs for me then ladies, thank you ❤️

that’s just how I feel too even after 14 months. I had a bad day on Monday with my brain fog but I got through it 😅. I won’t give it up for anyone 👍

that’s how I was Monday and for life of me I couldn’t find the words I wanted for anything I was trying to say and I forgot what my manager was telling me 2 mins later. I took more of my ‘brain food’ tablets Monday night and Tuesday so I feel better today 😳🤞

Omg, brain fog!!! I can forget what I’m talking about in the middle of a sentence and if I’ve lost my glasses once it’s a million times
It’s a joke
And hot sweats, I have an imprint of me on my bed! And when we had those two days of extreme heat, I was a puddle! Gotta laugh or I’ll cry 😵💫

yes they are from Amazon. HRT alone doesn’t help so I find these help and just occasionally take a couple more to help 👍

Docs all booked, fingers 🤞🏻and thanks again ladies for your advice ❤️

I suffer with terrible brain fog. So I'm really interested in finding out more about your brain food tablets & your diet changes x

I put the washing in the freezer instead of the tumble dryer the other day! Thankfully I noticed otherwise I prob would of been able to snap my jeans lol xxx

Getting old is just a scream 😂😂😂😂

there off Amazon called Brain Food from link nutrition. I’ve tried others I just feel these work better for me.

😅😂

Hi. I’m new! I’m on my 3rd month of HRT, after trying many supplements and nothing really took away the madness of menopause, but HRT has just started to kick in and I’m feeling more human than I have in a long time.
It’s still a work in progress, not an overnight fix, and I still get the odd hot flush and tears appear from nowhere, but on the whole I feel like I’m taking steps forward and not going backwards xx

Yes takes a while to get it right but when you do, it’s life changing.
