Increase HRT pill amount or switch to patch?
« on: July 06, 2021, 11:06:05 PM »
Seeking advice.  I'm concerned my HRT is no longer working and wondering if I should switch to a patch or higher dosage.  I've been on the Mimvey pill (1.0mg estradiol/ 0.5mg norethindrone) for almost 2 months.  During the first month, I noticed an immediate mood and energy boost and got a period after about two weeks.  This past month, my mood felt flat again (like pre-HRT) and I did not get a period.  I'm wondering if my body is not absorbing the estrogen anymore and if I should switch to a patch?  Or perhaps I need a higher dosage?  Can anyone recommend a different prescription?  Or some bloodwork I should request?  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.
