I'm using 2 pumps of Estrogel (for 2weeks)and my mood is really really low. I thought the Estrogen helped. If I increase I feel really anxious.
Could it be that because I'm Peri I jane enough of my own Estrogen? The symptoms I have are for progesterone intolerance and for Estrogen dominance 😱
All I want is to feel better 😢

If you've only been on it for 2 weeks it probably just needs more time. My anxiety and insomnia took 3 months. What symptoms do you have? Is the low mood definitely peri or is it something you've suffered from before?

I've suffered it before but the last few months been ok until I started the HRT
I used to be on fluoxetine but came off as was taking a lot of meds for fibromyalgia and just can't off everything. Felt amazing for 6m but just going downhill each month lately it seems
