Lenzetto application

Weirdly despite there being instructions (side effects) in the Lenzetto box the size of a small house.  Which I have to say despite spending 6 months studying the effects and side effects of the new modern HRT. Still scared the living out of me and made me procrastinate for another day. I couldn't find anywhere in there, or on web as to when in cycle you start taking the Lenzetto. Nothing in my Newson Health instructions either.  So I took this as it didn't matter. They are very clear when you need to take the Utrogestan. I also assume that most people who start it aren't in a cycle?

I had just started my period, then I procrastinated for 2 days. A little bit as mentioned above and because I had heard of someone actually dying from blood clots with the Astrazeneca vaccine (awful). Which made me question if I should wait until after I have had the 2nd vaccine in 4 weeks time. Zzzzz Then I spoke to my husband who said 'You've made your decision, you are not at risk, just take it'. So I did!

I decided to spray my arm each morning when I get up and have my first pee.  This is bizarrely one of the most consistent things in my life. Even during job loss, furlough and lockdown. The time I wake up is always around 6am.  545am back in the heady days of going to London and exceptionally occasionally about 730am if my husband is not about and I am left entirely to my own devices (which normally means I've also gone to sleep about 2 hours later) Yes, I go to bed at 10pm every night (husband is a man of routine).

The spray is currently living on the shelf next to the loo. Sit on loo, spray inside of arm and tick it off the box.  By the time I'm off the loo its dry.... and Ive only peed!!  So glad I picked the spray and not the gel.

I am not a morning shower type of person (I like to go clean to my bed). Only really likely to happen in rare cases in which case I'll wait until after. It says wait at least an hour before showing, putting cream on. So there we are. Job done!

Approaching a year of HRT and where I am and the benefits

 A flurry of posts!! Medication Daily - 3 pumps of Lenzetto oestrogen  and 2 pea size blobs of Testim testosterone and 2 weeks on 2 weeks off of 2 tablets Utrogestan progesterone at night. My testosterone level test came back as optimal and to continue with the dose I was doing. I  have been on 3 pumps of Lenzetto for about 10 days now and within 3 days the effects were already apparent. Feel more flexible, no heat at night, more hydrated and I have just started to think my skin feels really soft again. Bloody amazing.  Absolutely no sign so far of the Histamine Intolerance starting again, which has crossed my mind may happen with the dose increase. I am still having regular periods. I am not in menopause.... I still talk about this to anyone that will listen. Lady or man (yes I mention it on business lunches) with the men it has never been received badly in fact they are super interested and ask lots of questions to pass on to their wives. It affects everybody!  Obviously, the audienc

Testosterone on the NHS & Newson Health Catch up

 Last week I suddenly realised I was running out of Testosterone and was due a Newson Health catch-up that I wouldn't be necessary if I could get the Testim on the NHS. I dutifully waited for an hour on the phone and a few days later managed to speak to my GP over the phone to request the Testim.  The short answer to this... is no she wouldn't.  I didn't really question why. I felt a little under prepared for the answer. I also was recovering from Norovirus, so wasn't exactly at the top of my game. So 1 hour later I had my Newson Health call. Mmmm cutting it all a little fine! Thankfully she was on time and back to her normal helpful self. I explained I couldn't get the testosterone on the NHS and she was a little cross about it. I said she said she wasn't allowed to and NH said maybe it was the surgery stance. Hopefully, if testosterone gets approved for female use soon.  This stance would change. She then explained I would need to have a blood test to check my

HRT Diary - Month 6 - Somewhere.... Problems

So I haven't written for a while. For no other reason than I keep forgetting.  I really should have been as really since the dose has been upped (to two Lenzetto squirts) there have been problems. 1) I last mentioned about my eye issue.  This became pretty much persistent and was making me look and feel awful. It was exceptionally painful, itchy and unsightly. I have found a great spray called 'Thyme Out' made from thyme is amazing at cooling and stopping the itch. But, ultimately not stopping it. 2) I haven't had a period since I started taking the double dose apart from that initial early bleed.  I am currently about to finish my 2nd cycle of Utrogestan following the double dosing. So lets see. 3) I'd stopped sleeping through the night and whilst waking up exceptionally hot. It wasn't night sweats. It got so bad that I emailed my Newson Health doctor. I told her about my eyes being awful and the no period, night heat, etc. That I couldn't really feel any d
