Starting estrogel
« on: May 28, 2019, 06:22:11 PM »

Hi ladies

As you all know I started Eastrogel last month , I felt great using it until I added the provera 10mg for 12 days , I'm of the provera 10days the bleed only arrived yesterday so heavy but I just feel so drained and lifeless from using provera
Is this just a start up feeling I wonder as the gel seems to be not working as good now regarding the sweats plus my tummy isn't great at all , I have no appetite what so ever and just can't be annoyed doing anything , my mood is crap and anxiety is high still tho definitely not as high as what it was 12 days taking provera .
I don't want to call hrt clinic again as I really don't want to be changed to different hrt I been given so many over last 2 yrs .
When I was having periods I never suffered from mood problems at all but my mood is low today all I want to do is sit or sleep

Do yous think this is just the start up side effects ?

Sorry I have no experience of Provera although tablet HRT can sometimes cause digestive problems I understand. Personally I would give it 3 months to see if your body aclimatises. Maybe your oestrogen dose needs increasing? Hopefully another Provera user will be along to reassure you or do a search and you will find lots of posts and threads about it! Hope you feel better soon :)

Hi Hurdity
I've stopped the tablet 11days ago so I'm nit sure is this withdrawals from the provera or is it the gel building up getting into system I'm so bloody confused
My head has that muzzy feeling inside plus tummy is really out of whack no appitet at all so I don't know if it's the gel or the provera!!!
I'm still having heavy blood flow which I guess is making my mood low ..
I felt great the first 4 weeks in the gel alone all this awful feelings just started when I added the provera

I've spoke with hubby and this is definitely last hrt I'm trying as I can't keep going on changing and trying different hrt , it's been going on 9yrs last 6 yrs have been really bad
I might just be someone who can't take hrt ??

So bloody confusing this menopause crap

Hi
I was put into 4 pumps of gel a day , I'm now wondering if I should try and drop down to even 3 pumps as I truly feel as bad as I did before starting the gel , would too much cause this or am I being completely daft ( my head is so muzzy and my thoughts are all over the place )

Don't want to contact hrt again as they will think this woman has definitely lost plot  :D

If I was using to much gel what would I be feeling ? Holy bloody moly it's never ending  ???
