I started on Evorel Sequei, this suited me but my GP said I should change to Evorel Conti and POP contraceptive. Since I started this regime I have had regular periods. It has only been three months so I am persevering. I have irritability and anxiety, but only when I am on a period. I am a nurse and I know that many woman have a horrible time, so I don’t want to change even though it’s not perfect.

I'm definitely less psychotic coming up to the start of my period. I have a reduction in moodiness and irrational reactions. I've suffered with depression for a number of years. This is the same.

Reduced anxiety, depression and irregular heart rate

Perimenopause crept up on me and with onset of depression and weight gain with Mirena I felt older than my years. I thought my 40s would be my years after bringing up young children and the awful symptoms of Perimenopause came as a shock. I'm so pleased I went to GP and requested HRT (oestrogel). After a few weeks my skin looks radiant, my mood is sunnier and I'm beginning to get my health back. Don't suffer with debilitating Perimenopause symptoms. There's a snake oil industry of tonics and tablets which can dazzle women and not all of these are evidence based. Consider HRT its effective with positive health effects.

My experience has been very positive with HRT.before I started using it I was losing complete control over. My bladder and the hot flushes were happening all too often. Both of these symptoms have been practically solved although in the combined pull I’ve noticed weaker bladder in the days using both hormones.

Was doing well on HRT however when my mood felt flat I upped my dose of estrogel and had bad vertigo. This could have been completely unreleased however I panicked and came off HRT. Then had an avalanche of peri symptoms so am considering going back on it with a lower dose. The worst symptoms without the hrt are the anxiety, brain fog, broken sleep, mood wings and more recently migraines. Never suffered with headaches before.

Confident it’s helping altho considering asking about increase in oestrogen as mood swings are leaving me feeling not like me

Changed from patch. Patch was awkward and had issues with it sticking

Only changed my HRT to femoston conti yesterday so time will tell. Previously on gel patches and utrogestan Problems using vaginal products due to sensitive skin. Awaiting appointment with gynaecologist

The oestrogen was great. But I can not cope with any progesterone, I couldn't in contraceptives and sadly I can't in HRT. It causes very, very low mood to suicidal thoughts and a rash that becomes full body. And so I have had to come off the oestrogen as I am not allowed it on its own due to a risk of cervical cancer.

Challenging with bleeding despite being in chemical menopause and on GNRH analog Zolodex injections. The add back HRT still triggered bleeding which has been frustrating.

It has improved symptoms overall however they occasionally creep back

Improved vaginal dryness & itching. Made me less anxious

My experience using HRT has been a journey. I have tried different regimes. I first starting on tablets, but due to my migraines I was put on patches. I went on the combined Evorel Conti patch but that made me have a withdrawal bleed every day for 6 months. I felt awful and weak. I then tried Evorel Sequi. This combined patch stopped the bleeding, however there wasn't any change in my symptoms. I was on 50 micrograms with these combined patches Two years in I started to experience vaginal atrophy. I tried Vagifem but it just caused vaginal burning, then ovestin, but this didn't work for me either and I found it to be very messy. After extensive research, I came across Estring, which a vaginal ring, it releases a steady amount of estrogen daily into the vagina keeping it hydrated. This was a life saver. Due to my symptoms not improving, the consultant put me on a higher dose patch due to my age. As the combined patches only go up to 100 micrograms, I had to be given an Estradiol only patches with a progestogen, again as i have a womb. I used Utrogestan but that caused bleeding. I stuck it out for 6 months then gave up. It also made me very dizzy. I'm now now using the Marina coil in conjunction with the transdermal estradoil patch as I have a womb. My current dose is 137.5 micrograms which is Estradot 100 and Estradot 37.5. I use two patches twice a week

I have increased my dose over a 3 year period and have found that sweet spot where I now feel the best I’ve ever felt. I accept this new version of myself and feel empowered to start to live my life again. It hasn’t been easy or straight forward, but with the right information, help and support, I have a good combination of HRT, magnesium glycinate, vit D and magnesium spray to help manage my symptoms. More people need to talk 🙂

I was taking Everol Patches for 18 months and saw little to no improvement in my symptoms especially my sex drive Since changing to Lenzetto I have seen a massive difference my blood tests have also seen an improvement in estrogen levels. I feel I am getting “old Kate” back finally and not just want to hide indoors anymore.

I've had a very positive experience on HRT and it's really helped me during peri menopause. My anxiety, brain fog and night sweats are much relieved. I'm able to function in my work much better. I'd especially recommend vaginal HRT - it was a revelation nd made me feel so much more comfortable.

Overall I’m happy being on HRT as it helps with, flushes, anxiety and improves sleep The downsides I have experienced are a change in my skin for the worse, weight gain and hair loss Testogel helps with energy and sex drive The Vagifem helps with urine urgency I stopped using Tibolone due to bloating and weight gain I also experienced swelling to my lips and dermatitis around my mouth when using progesterone products

I started HRT late on in my menopause because of mood swings feeling low. It helped with this but after my periods having stopped for 2 years they started up again almost continually while on the HRT so I stopped using
