Title: confused and not sure what to do ...
Post by: Moonshine54 on June 26, 2019, 10:22:21 AM

Hi Everyone,

I am just feeling so tired and confused today.  I started HRT two months ago . I was taking utrogestan  2oo mg and evorel 25 patches . This worked until i hit the week before my period.  So i increased the evorel to 50, and this helped the ups and down of the pre-menstrual  phase. I have always had trouble with this.  I usually feel very tired before period but that usually goes . However, this month it has gone away and  I feel exhausted ,and my motivation is low. I am struggling to function at work.

I dont know if i need to increase the oestrogen or reduce back to 25mg. Its not much point asking my GP as hes not very familiar with any of this. So i need some advice please . xxxxx Mooney  :'( :'( :'(

Hi Birdy

is there any way of getting things tested ? or is it just trial and error.  I have heard people  say on here that there GPS won't prescribe testosterone. Its like a minefield  isn it xx
