Hello ladies.
I am so frustrated at the moment and I'm hoping some of you lovely ladies can advise me.
I'm post meno and have been using a 50 mcg patch and 100mg Utrogestan orally for almost three months. During that time I have noticed my flushes diminishing and a few weeks ago I started to feel much calmer, I even mentioned to a friend that I thought the HRT was really kicking in, well, I reckon that jinxed it because since then I've felt horrible again. The flushes haven't come back but I feel so crappy all day. I'm tense and irritable, have headaches, rumbling tummy, nauseous, anxious and generally miserable. I am also getting quite intense anxiety surges that I haven't had for a long time.
I understand that it is still early days for the HRT but I can't understand why I felt so well and now feel so rotten when I haven't changed anything. I am heartily sick of this roller coaster ride and forever wondering if I'm doing the right thing or if my regime is actually making me feel worse. Aaarrrgghhh!
I know getting the balance right is a problem for many of us but any words of wisdom would be gratefully appreciated.
Sending hugs to you all and thank you for reading this, just knowing you are there and understand is a big help.
Take care ladies.
