HRT worries, raging anxiety.

Thank you #Teetime, #paddyann and #TerriBull for your kind replies. I am trying really hard to be calm but lost sleep as we all know makes anxiety so much worse.
I don't want to come off HRT as its for my bones as I don't want bone drugs so I need to make it work

Sorry pollyanna, particularly about the worry with your daughter Anxiety is definitely a symptom of the menopause, I should be through it now but still have some. The trouble with anxiety is that it's self perpetuating and eventually worriers, I know I'm one, see worst case scenarios around every corner, believe me you are not alone. I was on Evorel Conti patches and had something akin to a very heavy period so decided to stop because I felt the benefits didn't outweigh the small advantage, in my case getting a better night's sleep, I am back to tossing and turning in the early hours.

Once your grandchild arrives, I'm sure you will feel better and hope you have many happy times with her or him.

I think the stress wont help.I'm on evorel conti too and I've always bled but it stopped all the other horirble menopause symptoms that were ruining my life.I've recently lost a fair bit of weight and I saw my gynaecologist yesterday as my spotting was bad ,he says the hrt will need adjusting BUT not to do it myself .He took blood tests and did the usual scans external and internal and decided theres nothing to worry about.So I'll leave it and see if it stops of its own accord or if when my tests come back he recalls me for new HRT .Try to find other ways to relax ,some guided meditation or yoga and that will ease the stress that amplifies everything .I hope the rest of the pregnancy goes well and she has a quick and easy delivery and a healthy baby.Take care .

pollyanna162 there are lots of us here who have at least some of you experience so dont worry I'm sure some helpful advice will be right along. For my part I would say back to the GP for a start and perhaps write this all down before you go as you tend to forget what you want to say when you are anxious. I found that when I was anxious I also gave myself the hardest time trying to be perfect at everything and refusing to rest and let things go - if this is you give yourself a break! I also found that I do/did like a glass of wine or two or three and this made my symptoms far worse. Although I didn't want to I had to come off HRT in the end and I dreaded it but it hasn't been too bad after all. I hope you can get some more helpful suggestions and support on here and that you start feeling better soon and the baby arrives as it should.
