Post for the women of a certain age on here 🤪 Men feel free to read but maybe TMI for you!
So I am 51 and I started HRT about 3 months ago. For a few years now I’ve felt like I’ve been spinning out a bit, everything has seemed overwhelming… (comments)

Of course there has been COVID, family illness, teens with mental health struggles, redundancies…and so I thought (since my periods are still regular as clockwork) that it was just A LOT to cope with. However, I did wonder if HRT could help and since starting I am sleeping so much better and my moods have evened right out, so I guess lots of it can be put down to Perimenopause. I do feel a bit bloated on the HRT, but otherwise only positives. Any of you been using (😁) and noticed any difference with strength, body composition, weight etc?

I didn't/don't use HRT but the whole perimenopause/menopause thing is a shock to the system. I called puberty in reverse! You really have to relearn your body and accept the changes.......I say accept, mind you, not give in. I felt/feel as though I have to fight to keep my old self present in amongst the changes. And sometimes just to keep the head above water, but life can be like that with or without 'the change' Glad you are finding your way!

Yes, Anne, I can definitely sense a having to relearn/get yo know myself again. I hope I can keep up strength for as long as possible. No giving up here, or using it as an excuse!
