Hello Ladies. Please help I've been on this for 6 weeks. Tummy upsets at beginning have now gone but for last 2 weeks I feel breathless jittery and low in energy and mood. I can't think straight sometimes. I feel generally unwell and out of sorts .
My breasts are so sore but I can cope with this.
My flushes and headaches have gone and my libido  is back which is fantastic.
Is this normal to feel so unwell and will this go away. I've been told that it takes 3 months to settle
Any advice please

Hi Rufus. It could be the continuous norethisterone which is making you feel this way. There are other HRT's with different progesterones which may suit you better. Norethisterone is notorious for causing PMT type symptoms plus low mood/depression.

Also you might do better on a patch or gel HRT due to being older.

Thanks Taz. Why is gel or patch better at my age ?
