Hi,

In my second month of Elleste 1mg duel, stress levels and anxiety seem to be through the roof - constantly feel like someone is dragging nails down a blackboard, and i swear i have put what seems like inches on from mid-thigh to chest, will this calm down?  Is this normal teething problems with going on HRT for the first time?
Feel like i am going mental, and as for looking in a mirror - well, i could just weep!  any advice would be gratefully received.  Feel such a failure, everyone i know who has gone onto HRT has had amazing results, skin looks fab, hair growing strong, mood and energy amazing - me?? the opposite, skin looks awful, hair falling out, feel dreadful!

Hi.
Sorry your going through this.
If I was struggling like you, I’d try a different one, although they say to stick it out for at least 3/6 months.
But how can you if your fighting everyday? It may not be suiting you. I tried different ones, eventually settling on Femoston conti. Had to increase my dosage as time went on, but it suited me better.
I’d definitely ring my doc and tell them, ask for another. 💁🏼‍♀️
Good luck, let us know.

Xx
