implant help

I had an 75 implant inserted privately in the uk early april. My level was 700 in early may. I was fine for a while then started to have some bladder weakness and soreness down below. Gp have me vagifem 25 which gave me thrush. I also feel moody have joint pain flushing strongly but nowhere as much as before implant. Seen my gynae who wants me to do a journal for two months as my levels have only dropped to 600. He feels my one remaining ovary may have kicked in as it had shown signs of failing as I had ovarian drilling on it a fox years ago. Do you think this is a good route to take and then review just fed up with symptoms now.

I've moved your post here to the Natural Menopause Post Hysterectomy forum so that you can get input from women who have kept one or both ovaries.

Hopefully someone will be along soon to share.

Can I ask that it is kept in surgical as I am not in natural meno I am only 41 and am only dealing with this because of my surgery.

As you kept your ovaries, your post belongs in this forum, not the "No Ovaries, Yes Hrt" forum. The descriptor here says

If you have had a hysterectomy and have kept your ovaries, you may have questions about managing natural menopause and how to manage with or without hormone therapy. Come join the discussions.

My remaining ovary is not working hence going on hrt my levels after my ovary removal where that of a menopausal woman. I am not having a natural menopause as I would not have gone through this until normal age if I had not had to have surgery. Ill post elsewhere as I am clearly not being understood.

(((beaglelady71))), I'm sorry for any misunderstanding in the forum change. The Surgical Menopause is for members who do not have either of their ovaries. Regardless of the status of your remaining ovary, you still do have it which makes the Natural Menopause Post Hysterectomy (Kept 1 or both ovaries) the right forum for your questions and concerns. Many women experience an earlier menopause post-hysterectomy even though they kept one or both ovaries. Sometimes it takes the ovary/ovaries a while to "wake up", or for the remaining ovary to produce hormones at the levels that both ovaries had been producing. Also, having the hormone levels of a menopausal woman doesn't mean that your remaining ovary isn't producing any hormones, and members here in this forum can share from their personal experiences--something those of us in the Surgical Menopause forum can't do because we have no ovaries producing any hormones.

Once you have an implant of a hormone it more than likely can't be removed, so you're stuck dealing with the symptoms until the implant wears off. What does your doctor suggest that you do? You might find it easier to deal with estrogen in a pill, cream or patch form so that you can adjust the dose if necessary.
