Menopause Support Group

Menopause is the physiological cessation of menstrual cycles associated with advancing age. It normally occurs in women between the ages of 45 and 55, when the body begins to slow and stop the production of eggs, estrogen and progesterone production decreases, and menstruation diminishes, eventually stopping altogether.

I am really getting so fed-up with these hot flushes, they are particularly bad late afternoons and evenings. I keep wondering if I should try HRT even though I'm worried about the side effect of cancer. I just don't know what to do for the best, I'm getting desperate. :-(

My hot flushes are making me feel so bad, I am not sleeping at all, go to your gp and have a chat about HRT.
My gp will not put me on it as I have other problems!
Send me a message if you like a chat x

they may not help. I'm on the pill and still get them occasionally.

I'm on hrt and it is a considerable difference. I don't feel like my brain is frying.....it's doable.....n
and I take melatonin to sleep at night. Definitely see a gynecologist. The thing I hate the most is the feeling of not having control over my body.....we can have some control. See the doctor, read info on the subject and plan for your rough times of days......lots of popsicles...lol...you can do it!

Evening Primrose Oil took a lot of my hot flashes away. I found they were worse when I was under stress. Isabelle1954
