I had my periods stopped a few years ago due to endometriosis with prostap injections. I was also given HRT to take. Apart from painfull ankles, the treatment suited me totally. I was calm, the PMT dissapeared, I was creative, never depressed not even slightly. Then the Dr took me off the treatment as he said I had been on the injections for too long. My periods have now returned and I find that as the months go by I am feeling lifeless, not creative, tired, depressed every day and generally older. I am 44 by the way. I would love advice for if it would be safe to take HRT being as my periods have returned or will it mess me up at menopause time?

menopause is when they will likely start the HRT again, in the mean time, you have the option of birth control pills, which are just another form of HRT

Women replace hormones all the time with the pill. Not saying it's safe...just saying they do.
I am 34 and thanks to being on replaced FAKE hormones from the pill...we can't have children. My body stopped making hormones all together and I see a ND who has me on NATURAL bio-identical hormones which have saved my life. The previous 13 conventional docs I saw about this didn't know how to treat a hormone imbalance....nuts, I tell ya. ;) They wanted me on antidepressants among other things...it was rediculous. With treatment like that and they wonder why everyone is running toward natural remedies!
Funny how they tell women the pill is so safe yet when YOU need the hormones, they yank you off....
I would totally recommend you consider finding a doc that uses natural bio-identical hormones...an ND in your state...They are everywhere.
Here's a website and if you scroll down
http://www.johnleemd.com/store/resource_...
Here is a list of docs who use natural hormones in your area....
www.altmednetwork.net
And below even further is a list of of naturopathic docs who belong to an associate....
And just so it's clear...drug companies cannot make money off natural stuff...so they took the natural hormones and tweaked it with FAKE stuff...so they could sell it and make money...with all the nasty side effects etc... so when people accuse natural hormones of being bad for you...they REALLY don't know they history or the whole story of them.
I wish you the best of luck and I hope you get to feeling better soon! :)

there is no need for hrt if you are menstruating.if you think you really need it ask your doctor to run a few tests, like a mammogram[to r/o breast cancer], hormonal profile[thyroid tests, estrogen, progesterone] and a cervical pap smear. or you can try alternative non hormonal drugs which help in perimenopausal state.[tibolone for eg]

you ought to continuously have risk-free intercourse, yet it somewhat is much extra considerable now which you're companies to bleed on a similar time as having intercourse. confirm to apply a condom and an excellent style of lubricant! (i prefer to propose which you attempt Pjur Eros lube. it somewhat is silicone-based, and it somewhat is the suited lube on the industry. it somewhat is condom risk-free and could in no way get sticky.) in basic terms be sure that your companion lubes up properly and that he is going sluggish. as long as you're gentle and taking section in your self, it will be advantageous.
