If, like me, you’re going through perimenopause, and you’re thinking of starting Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), then I really hope this video helps you in some way…
...because I'm sharing my experience with taking HRT over the last 6 months, including why I started it, and how I’ve found it to be.
I share with you the perimenopausal symptoms I've encountered, both prior to and whilst taking HRT.
I’d also love to know your experiences and what you’ve found helps you - let me know in the comments below!
Love, Katie 💖✨

I had a hysterectomy at age 36. At age 41 I started on a full dose of Premarin. At about age 60 my doctor reduced the dosage to half. I am now 77 and am still on the half dose. I did try going off Premarin several years ago when the medical community said it was the worst thing we could be doing. I tried something "natural", felt awful and went back on Premarin. My mother had the same philosophy as do I. We'd rather live X years feeling wonderful than XXX lives feeling like crap!! I've had no medical negative side effects, have great bones and skin and am still very active. I look around myself and see so many women my age who have significant health issues that I assume are often related to hormone loss and am so grateful that my doctor at the time agreed that I consider HRT. My current doctor told me recently that I am his only patient on HRT which I find amazing. Personally I have no regrets.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us, Susan - it's wonderful to hear about the success you've had with your treatment ☺️

Thank you! HRT has been a gamechanger at 47. I was told since 40 that my issues were because I was a mother, then told to talk to them again when I got THROUGH the menopause stage, then told I was just depressed. Found a new doc and started my HRT journey. I feel better than I have in a long time. I am grateful for the information and help available to women now and will fight like hell to not let anyone control my body and to have options.
Thank you so much for sharing your story with us, it's wonderful to read that you've advocated for your health and can find a suitable solution for you. 💖
We're so pleased that you're feeling better within yourself.
Sending you lots of love, strength and positivity your way from all the team here at Beauty and the Boutique 💗 xxxx
It took a good 6 months for me to feel the difference. The symptoms had crept up over 4 years, so feeling more me crept along too! I love mine. I found patches on the bum where your jeans pocket would be was the best place. I hadn’t realised how not me I was until I came back iykwim. Sleep and sweats was the first thing to go. Feeling more energy took a while longer. I’ve actually lost weight as I got my mojo back to look after myself. I also no longer waking up feeling “doomy” like something bad was going to happen and I can find the words for things again!
Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us - we're so happy to hear you've found treatment that works great for you 🥰 It's amazing how our lives can transform!

What a great job you did documenting your journey! I'm a menopause coach and will save this to share it with my community. You gave me something new to think about... maybe I should have started hrt much earlier than I did. I purposely waited so I could address the lifestyle factors first so that hrt wasn't just a band-aid. However it's taken me a lot longer to start seeing benefits because I waited until further along in my perimenopause journey. Thank you for your very thoughtful video that I know will help any woman who watches it!
Thank you so much for sharing your kind words - we're so happy you feel inspired by our video and that Katie's story resonated with you ☺️ We can't wait for you to share our video with others - that's so sweet of you!

Hi Katie! Thank you so much for the information. I have been experiencing the waking up at those times too, I have gained weight and I have low mood with no inspiration and I’m experiencing fog. I’m feeling sad and frustrated.
I do really think you have pinpointed these things and I’m now going to visit the drs. I am nervous about it but thank you for sharing as it makes us feel like we are not alone 💛
Love your make up videos also great! 🎉x

Curious - is the patch a combo estradiol/progesterone, or are you taking progesterone separately?
Great question - allow us to help 🥰
Katie is on 'Evorel Conti patches'.
This is the one her doctor felt was best for her, but there are lots to try, so be sure to keep trying others if you don't find the one for you.
A little more about Katie's Evorel Conti patches...
Evorel Conti patches contain both oestrogen (oestradiol) and progestogen (norethisterone).
This is a combined form of HRT. Combined HRT means taking progestogen and oestrogen every day without a break. Oestrogen is given to relieve symptoms, whilst progestogen is given to replace progesterone for women who have a womb in order to protect the womb.
Oestrogen can cause the lining of your womb to get thicker. So, Progestogen is given with oestrogen to stop the lining of your womb from getting too thick, which is needed to lower your risk of cancer and other problems that can be caused by taking oestrogen alone. Oestrogen-only HRT is usually only recommended if you have had your womb removed during a hysterectomy.
We hope this helps - thanks SO much for being part of Beauty and the Boutique ✨

Yep brain fog a night sweats was the last straw for me but I didn’t think I would still be on HRT 8 years later. I have tried reducing the dose under doctors advice but the symptoms come back 🙄 it’s a slow process coming of them that’s for sure.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us - we completely agree that it takes time to find the perfect treatment for each individual 🥰 We're sending you so much positivity with your continued journey!
