Hi everyone,
I was on 50mg estraderm ans 200mg cyclic utrogestan. Saw a nurse at Louise Nelson clinic , who said at 40 (no ovaries) and oestrogen levels of 170 than I need to increase the dose. I had no hot flushes just other symptoms.
I wrote another post about tingling numb arms and its definitely any change in my hormone that causes it and it takes 2 weeks to settle. Going from 50 - 75 I saw this - so Im increasing to 100mg super slow. At the minute Im on 87.5mg.
I think my sleep is slightly better and don't get up to pee as much but Im finding my anxeity is worse and my concentration is zero - I feel like Ive sat at a blank computer all week in the same chair plus just look like crap, everyone else is talking about hair growth during lockdown and mines stayed the same - thin and rubbish
I struggle with 200mg utrogestan too so tried 100mg just to see and Im sure I feel better than without but I have to take 200mg.
Could it be true that increasing oestrogen could make me more anxious and that progesterone in the smaller amount makes me feel better?
I don't understand the relationship between both hormones and how they work in tandem.
Just so fed up feeling like this, it nice to read posts and know Im not alone, sometimes it feels like its never ending!
