"Finally saw the doctor today. I can deal with this menopause stuff I don’t need help, I don’t want tablets etc I don’t have time to go docs and deal with this I’ll be ok I deal with everything I don’t want to come off the pill. I don’t want that scary coil thing that’s supposed to kill having it put in! So that was me before. After reading a few things on here, finally watching the programme and a girly lunch and chat with my friends last week and the fact I am a fucking witch to live with and after reading the symptoms I have 75% of them I decided to do something about it and a plan has now been set. So what I’m trying to say is ladies please don’t be like me! Do something about it! I’m hoping to bring you lovely nice placid Nora in the near future
Much love x"Good for you. I am afraid i am the previous Nora before you went to the doctors. A lot of the symptoms but a can't be arsed attitude, too busy and too much other crap going on. I definitely need a kick up the bum | |||

I definitely need a kick up the bum "I’ve always been like that. If it’s one of the kids I’m get to the doctors now. Me, I just get on with it. I go to the doctors about once every 2 years with a list . I should have done this a lot earlier really. Make time! X | |||

"The patches have helped me - but horrendous periods now. My moods have altered, but the other is a bitch!! It’s worth it though. Mine needs tweaking a little still, but I hope everything works out well "Yeah this is what worries me a bit. I’m on the pill where you take it straight through so haven’t had a period for years. The reason I went on it was because they were so horrendous. This is the main thing that’s stopped me really x | |||

"Well done Nora- I hope it all goes well. If my wife is anything to go by I recommend you keep monitoring the HRT on a regular basis. It is not a "fire and forget" treatment although GPs would love you to walk away. Tinkering is standard practice. " Thanks. Yes a few people have said that. What works for one may not work for another. A bit trial and error really x | |||

"Hooe you are ok Nora! I fear I may too be headed down this route but holding off for now Though I had a letter from the NHS referral service today saying I have been referred to a specialist and need to make an appointment.... I don't know what it means or who I am seeing because I've not been to the Dr's in a while and the last conversation I had with them was I had to make an appointment to talk to him about my heavy erratic periods. But I never did
Will ring tomorrow and see "If it is to do with this I’d take it. It’s really hard to actually get to see someone for the first step! I’d tried before a few times and couldn’t get in so just left it and left it and left it again! x | |||

"Ah good for you Nora! I did the exact same thing for a year. Until I reached bottom and made an appointment. Six weeks on, HRT is helping. I have several other friends sitting on their hands too.

"What would you say the first noticeable symptoms were? So many cross over with the issues I already have it's hard to know what's what. My periods are still regular, but I've definitely felt more foggy and emotional recently." Tiredness. Foggy is an apt word to be honest. Like brain fog! It’s hard to explain. Very emotional. Snappy over the most ridiculous things. No time for anyone. Friends, family. I’d pretty much blanked everyone. I actually went on citalopram for a while but it did nothing. I thought it was depression but I think it’s all linked. No reduction in libido unfortunately though  | |||

"Good for you for going! I never had a lot of discomfort having coils put in or out, the side effects of the Mirena were horrible for me though - even outweighed having no periods! I managed it for six months and had to have it out. Does make me concerned that my lack of tolerance for hormones means I’ll have to suffer the menopause when it hits full force (I think it’s starting a bit) I hope you get some good results xx" Can I ask you a private question? I can’t message you. If you don’t mind could you message me x | |||

I nearly p@ssed out having one fitted (copper) was laid on the couch for about an hour until I felt well enough to leave. Considering the mirena, to see if that's any better, but always struggled with anything that has hormones. Yet I know others who never had any issues with it. | |||

"I really don't know how you ladies know that you've hit the menopause. If I Google menopause symptoms I have so many but the symptoms can also be present because of how my life is ie tiredness, can't sleep, emotional can all be put down to what is happening in my life. Can doctors carry out an accurate test to see if you are actually menopausal?" It could be perimenopause…. Which can only be diagnosed by symptoms as hormone tests are not accurate as they vary so much at this stage. Menopause matters has a common list of perimenopause symptoms. Menopause is only usually diagnosed if you haven’t had any periods for a significant time if you’re not on the coil or jab. | |||
