I started on hrt in my 30s (due to chemotherapy for Hodgkin's wiping out my hormones).....was there something you wanted to know lynnelou?

I had a hysterectomy at 29 & I had an early menopause, so I had HRT.

i bleed, quite haevily sometimes every 2 wks, my dr thinks either menopause (my mum finished at 37) i am 36 or pcos.

That can't be very nice for you lynneylou - once a month was more than enough for me!

A simple blood test will determine if you're menopausal or not. It's up to your GP & your medical history as to whether you're put on HRT. Hope you're being tested for anemia too, with all that bleeding. Take care.

Hi All
following on from Robina's answer .....I went to my doctors today absolutely at the end of my tether with peri menopausal symptoms (still having sporadic periods) & was put on HRT despite having a negative test for menopause....apparantly a negative test does not necessarily mean that you are not menopausal!?....
what the hell......so sick of the symptoms that I'm taking the HRT & see what happens!!!!

carolt, i always thought hrt could only be given after not having any periods for a year???
