Hi loves
I propb shoukd know this but is waking up at 4am ish with horrible anxiety is this  fluctuations? I also had the sweats on my chest n legs ....not enough where the bed was wet it was jhst on me  does this Mean my Slynd hasn't suppressed yet? Or is it low patch.....but mine is about 93 94 ish .
Because I'm just on progesterone only pill now (slynd) woukd you ladies up your estrogen patch or gel? Plus I've loads of crying everyday- especially in a morning when im up from 5.30- anyone else cry like me? And is the crying too fluctuations or falling estrogen levels? I'm sick of crying and wanted to know shoukd i increase my patch to 100?  Had fatigue fir weeks only for me to find out it was cos the yasmin stopped working and it's driving me mas cos I can't go out-, too tired ....had head scans, all theblood tests u can think of. Withdrawal can give u fatigue and i had high b12 injections so it still coukd ve that but adding hormones now into the mix i dont know what to do x
The fatigue i need yiu ladies to advise on it'll yiu can? Because all I'm doing is sitting on my bed looking out the window. The fatigue went worse after provrera, then the bleed, then chopping changing different progestogens as you know. Coukd you advise? Cos I said to my partner i was never this fatigued when yiu dropped me off at work while I did my self defence that was 1st Oct. I hope you can help advise me or even reassure me the fatigue wil get better that's the main thing that's upsetting me everyday.  The fatigue coukd also be fluctuations?
The GP told me go to 100 patch o mean I'm not far off it .....does a few mg make a difference from. Say what I'm on now ....94-92 ish. ?
What do u think pls? Xxxx please please reply as I'm struggling alot. I know I've probably gotta be patient with the Slynd but I just need some advice or shared experiences? I hate all this just feel alone and dont have much confidence anymore. My partner said while I was in tears this morning...ask those lovely women on that forum you go on about they sound so nice with you. So here I am. I know they're prob basic question I'm asking but I feel like I'm in a hole a d can't get out. Even if yiu ladies just give me reassurance that it sounds like it's the pill not suppressed yet or the patch...whatever you feel....I'd be grateful ....I really hope I get some nice kind replies please be kind as always xxxxxx

Hello, yes the waking with anxiety is “normal” cortisol levels are at their peak in the early hours as we wake, or it can be the cortisol that wakes us. It’s an adrenaline rush, I’m 62 and still get them occasionally and they are awful but they ARE becoming less. That’s really all I can say as I don’t suffer fatigue but it IS another delightful symptom of meno ,aren’t we lucky 🙄I’m sure someone else will be along to help xx

Hi lovely, I'm no expert & still figuring out if I'm actually peri or going through a spike of high anxiety/ panic..?
I do know though, as the lady above mentioned cortisol rises when we wake up in the morning so this is a time when anxiety/panic kicks in & I notice with my spikes this is the time it happens alot.
