HRT

Sporadic Sparkly

After mulling it over for far too long, I have finally decided to go down the HRT route.

I could cope with the symptoms when I was peri-menopausal as they were extremely mild. However, when I became post-menopausal, it was another matter entirely.

I've an appointment at my surgery later this month and am rather hoping I'll be able to leave that appointment with a prescription for HRT.

  • I’m using HRT but not a systemic tablet. However, it’s working a treat. I don’t have any real problems  like hot flushes etc, to warrant the need to start taking it, but if and when I do, I will be happy to. I’ve done a load of research on it. The facts speak for themselves, and risk to most women in general is minute in the grand scheme of things. Like you say, the people I know who have started it, have said it’s changed their life for the better.
