Starting HRT

Hi ladies
I’m 45 and have been prescribed HRT today 🙂
Can I just ask - do I “just start” applying the patches tomorrow - or do I have to wait for my period or something?
I didn’t ask 🫢
Thank you

Not sure id ring doctors to double check

If you were prescriber Evorel Sequi, Don’t start straight way, please (check with doctors the instructions)

check where you are in your cycle first to be able to use the oestrogen patch and the combi ones in different weeks (halves) of your circle x

Good luck (and try and keep a journal to track your changes as this will help to adjust the correct dose, and most adequate product).

Low libido

Just wanting advice or to chat. Anyone can suggest any natural remedies that can help. This is becoming an issue In my marriage and my husband doesn't want to listen to anything about menopause he says it's BS and automatically dismisses any discussion about it. So just wanted to talk about it to someone who can relate...

Perimenopause? TMI

Hi. I’m about to be 37 yrs old and I’m pretty sure I’m in perimenopause. Possibly for 1-2 yrs now.
Reason I think this: after I get off during sex and sometimes it’s a few times, after IM done my vagina dries up and becomes tight.
Yes I know about lube but even with lube it still is like my vagina is tightening up.
I’ve talked to my doctor and she says she never heard nothing like this and also recommended lube.

I’m just stumped. I’ve had the same partner the entire time.
This really didn’t start until after I gave birth in 2022 although I don’t remember the onset date.

Has anyone else ever experienced this?

Every single time I get my period lately I get so mf irritated and angry at literally every little thing 😩 I feel so mean and I hate it so much. It makes me want to scream and run away every time. Idk how to cope. Does anyone else get like this?? Or am I insane?
