Just popping in to update on how going off hrt is going. I switched from a .50 patch to a .375 patch two weeks ago, and stopped progesterone. After a week, as I was having no ill effects, but definitely feeling a little better, I cut a 50 in half so I have effectively been on a 25 for a week.
So far, and I know it's early, the only effect I'm noticing is that I'm not crying over everything, which had been a problem both on and off of the progesterone since December.
My only complaint right now is that I still can't find the zest I once had. I am sleeping fine, but can't find the energy to do things. I think it's a mental lack of energy, as when I push myself I'm not lacking in physical ability at all. This was one of the things on my list before starting hrt, and hrt never got it fully under control. I am waking to a gentle flush some mornings, but that's been occurring for a month or more anyway. I blame the warm daytime temperatures we're having.
I'm thinking I'll stay on 25 for another few weeks, probably have to do one last course of progesterone, and assess from there.
