Hello all, I’m hoping for some wisdom and reassurance if possible. My last natural period was two years ago so I am officially one year in full menopause.
Last October I was on 100 mg of Prometrium (which I take vaginally), continuous and the 50 Estradot patch. I felt I still had symptoms of inadequate oestrogen, so I started on the 75 patch. After one month, I started spotting. The spotting turned into two full periods since then with constant spotting in between. I have acne on my chin, large painful breasts, weight gain, acute anxiety, mood swings, crying, and generally feeling like a pile of poo.
My question to you all is are the symptoms I have listed signs of oestrogen dominance in post menopause due to HRT? Have any of you experienced something similar when increasing a dose? If yes, did it stabilise after a while or did you have to adjust your dose again by either increasing your progesterone, decreasing your oestrogen, or having a merina coil inserted? And, how are you getting on now?
Honest to God, I’m at my wits end.
