Hi

You poor thing.

I believe a sympathetic GP would put you on a dose of hrt to try and give you a bit of your old spark back.

The patches are great or a tablet.

Most GPs try to take women off HRT at 60 I believe but you are within your rights to push for it as its simply a budget issue with GP's.

My mother in law got away with it until she was 67, was told " you should have been off this years ago" said she felt less good when it was stripped off her, shes not one for talking back so suffered on.

I for one am not the sitting back and taking it type.

Tell your GP your concerns ask to speak to one who specialises in hrt actually if they have one more knowledgeable (ie the 20 something male Dr probably wont have a clue)

So get set up with the right person.

Live your best life and get what you need!

Best wishes

Helly.
