Title: Estraderm tiredness
Post by: Sleepy123 on January 27, 2021, 04:59:51 PM

Oh wow! This is an emotional journey isn’t it!

After a few trials and errors, I have been using Mirena coil and 0.25g Estraderm for about one year.

I stopped taking the Estraderm because I felt better not taking it. But I was struggling to focus at work so I went back on the Estraderm about 3 weeks ago.

Sleep isn’t much different, but I just always feel a bit groggy, nothing really bad but it’s like the day after drinking a couple of glasses of wine.

I wouldn’t mind but I feel like this without drinking the wine !!

I thought HRT was supposed to give you more energy, not make you feel like you need a little nap??!

Crashing fatigue can be problematic.  I remember Mum sitting down and going to sleep suddenly.

Did U feel weary prior to a period?

I haven’t had a period for about 2 years.

It’s not crashing fatigue, just more of a dreamy head. Like a hangover ?
