It may B too much 2 soon!  How about every 3rd day ........ to ease your body into the different levels of HRT?

Some find that keeping a mood/food/symptom diary of use too.

Every 3rd day for which? Sorry brain fog lol or do you mean just keep it as oringinal dose and see how it goes?

Hi!  How often do you take the mini pills?  It can take 3-4 months B4 the body adjusts, however, too much replacement too soon may give symptoms.

She said to take them every day continually

Hopefully some1 will be along with better advice, personally I would alternate the daily intake to see if I feltl any better.  With medication it can depend on how long it takes for it to get through the body.  [clear as mud ? ]

Hi are you post or peri menopausal?

I would suggest increasing the oestrogen.

Peri not had many periods in the last year so nearly there!
Yes upped oestrogen today so first day on increase

Periods can wax and wane which may impact on HRT.  Mine disappeared for months, the returned on a regular basis, for several years.  Then suddenly in 2002 I realised that I hadn't had a bleed 

Let us know how you get on!

How long until your review? You are meant to give it three months to settle after each dose change, if I were you I would persist a bit longer with the original dose.

I got terrible headache for a week when I started HRT, they did go away once I was more used to it.

Good luck!

Peri-menopause are the years leading up to the final monthly period.  It is suggested that we count from month 1 after we stop bleeding regularly, after 12-14 months we can think that we are in menopause = literally the last bleed.  However, Nature can throw in a curved ball so we have to begin counting from 1.  Again
