Hello again! Some of you may remember that I posted a few months ago about trying to start HRT. Unfortunately I had a few really bad reactions to what was probably too high a dose, and I was so shaken up that I stopped cold turkey.
Over the last few months I’ve now had crippling depression in the latter half of my cycle, which was really scary and made me realise that there really is something hormonal going on that needs treatment. So I’ve dipped my toe back into HRT, starting on 25mcg Estradot and now I can just about tolerate 37.5 although it does give me a bit of the ‘wired’ feeling I had on 50.
It’s only been 10 days on HRT which I know is very early. I’ve definitely noticed an improvement (no more awful morning anxiety) and even a few hours here and there of happiness - something I haven’t felt in a long time - but I still have big mood dips in between, feeling low for no reason.
How long til those of you on HRT actually noticed a steady difference in mood? As I said, I know it’s early days but I could really use some hope! Thanks in advance.
