Sailed through menopause

Having a surgical menopause at 40 I was immediately given oestrogen implants. On them I feel wonderful and my bone density remains robust so, over 30 years later, I am still on HRT and will be for the rest of my life.

I'm glad that I am not the only one who has not even noticed menopause. I had a hysterectomy aged 42, my ovaries were left intact. But as I had no periods I had no idea if I had gone through the menopause. I'm 61 next month so it must have happened by now. Just feel very lucky I that respect. I also commiserate with women who have such an awful time with it

You are all very fortunate, mine was absolute hell. Good luck to you all. I' m glad none of you suffered like I did. I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

Thrush and menapause
Has any body had recurrent thrush in the menapause that they just couldn’t resolve. My gp has given me the 3x 72 hour fluconazole and then once a week for 3 months. I’ve done this 3 times and it never goes. I was wondering if any body was given vagifem to help with thrush even though in itself it can give you thrush. I am just so sore from so many tablets.

I was lucky, no symptoms - and no more pregnancies!
