Prostap and Livial/HRT

[SJ1992]

Hi Everyone . I'm 23 and have endometriosis and polycystic ovaries . I have been on Prostap for a few months and had my 3rd injection last week . I have been given a back up prescription of Livial which is HRT but have not taken it to the doctors to get them yet as I've heard bad things about hrt and don't like the increased risk of cancer and the other side effects such as excess hair growth ( I have trouble dealing with that as it is) My hot flushes are getting worse to the point where I'm having about 3 a night and they are keeping me awake so in the morning and in work I'm exhausted they happen in the day too which is embarrassing . I don't know whether I'm worrying too much about HRT and if I take them they would help with the hot flushes ? Has anyone been in a similar situation ? Please help I don't see my consultant until the end of the month.

Thanks x

You really must take it - without it the side effects will be horrendous. For the record, my experience about the hair growth has been exactly the opposite!
