Give me a mainline with HRT!!! 😎 🔥

Absolutely!!! I will be starting shortly. I’m already hitting the gym an lifting heavy to get the receptors ready. Estrogen at a minimum will happen for me. The research on cardiac, dementia and osteopenia are top of the reasons why. The biggest fear I had was the breast cancer risk, but unless you have the gene it’s minuscule, the risk of cardiac and stroke events are higher without HRT. Hormone change suck sat the best of times so baselining a new normal will be interesting, worth it IMO.

I continued with the Mirena coil at 50 as the it can be used as the progestogen component of HRT. If I am symptomatic I can add oestrogen gel. So that might be something to consider

My understanding is that if you are still producing hormones, such as perimenopause, then HRT isn’t a good option. HRT is only used when you’ve passed fully into menopause. For perimenopause then hormonal birth control is the way to go. Not a doctor just my understanding.

Dear God YES! After taking Evorel patches for a few years having such a drastic reduction in menopause symptoms I so wish I’d not listened to the nay-sayers and reached out to my GP years before. Life saver and lover saver!
