I feel for you. I’m the same. I think it is low oestrogen. You have to give it time to get in to your system. It will get better x

Awwww thank you to all of you so far who have responded.

Very much appreciated.....

I am so glad that it is deffo low oestrogen causing this (i am very new to all this so i am questioning everything that could be he cause)

You are so knowledgeable on here thanks xxx

How were you moods during your menstruating years?

[Shannonplussed]

We are different. For me, I cry a lot more when my estrogen dosage is higher than when it is lower.

[Vicky81]

Hi I'm not sure if I'm getting too much at present...3 pumps I was told ...today I felt ok to be fair... bit teary at work (didn't cry though) x

[CLKD]

MayB drop to 2 every night with 3 occasionally? 

[Vicky81]

Yeah could do....food for thought thanks CLKD xx

Vicky usually best to start lower and build up as No1 your body gradually adjusts and 2 you know how much more or less is better for you. I’m post Meno but low Estrogen would have caused the crying spells! X

Thank you so much xx

Hia,

I think you are barking up the right tree Vicky.

I cry a lot when my Oestrogen is dipping before having a bleed most times, just like PMT was when I had periods.
Hang in there, it will get better I promise. Once you have the estrogen coursing through your body at the right levels it'll thank you for it.
Till then it's just a waiting game, so don't worry about it and cry if you want to, as the song says.   Noting wrong with a good sob in itself.

Hi Turkish delight

Thank you so much. Which HRT are you on and did it get rid of symptoms?, if so which symptoms? Xx
