I went to my PCP today with a long list of complaints, all of which she said could be attributed to perimenopause (which was confirmation of what I had suspected). I asked about HRT and she suggested I start on a low dose BC pill, so that's what I am doing. I have a follow-up appointment with her in 3 months so if it doesn't work as well as I'm hoping, I can move to a higher dose.
Who else has gone down this road? What did you go on and was it helpful for you?
Also, do you take the pill all month or do you take a week off? She said I could do either so I opted for the full month but she told me to take a week off every 3 months.
