Title: Increased HRT Dose
Post by: Robo17 on May 01, 2022, 01:36:25 PM

I have just gone from 50 to 75 patch plus a daily progesterone tablet as I am having night sweats. Does anyone have experience of when it starts to become effective - I have been on the new prescription for two weeks now and night sweats haven’t changed. It would be great to hear when I can expect to see an improvement   Thank you!  :)

It depends. For me it happened slowly when I increased. It can take up to 3 months to have full effect but sometimes longer for every symptom to go.
