Update and really hope I'm not jinxing myself here but.......day 7 of progesterone/oestrogen patch and feel marvellous!
After switching from femseven sequi (wouldn't stick, horrible depression/no libido) changed to everol sequi patches (they stick really well) now just coming up to 2nd week of norethisterone progesterone patch and libido back, no low mood, no erratic moods so far (horrendous on tablet form of same progesterone). Had some cramping yesterday as missed a period on femseven sequi so hoping ?! I'll get a bleed at end of next week but certainly won't be upset if I don't!
Not so positive... really dry skin since switching to patches even though slightly higher dose of oestrogen, bad on hands, hair really dry also and getting knuckle/joint pain again but back ache seems to have cleared! On the tablets my skin/hair felt lovely, can anyone suggest anything for that? Do I need higher oestrogen?
Also getting quite vivid dreams and waking bit more on progesterone but hoping this will settle? Will just say I'm off work for the holidays so much more relaxed maybe this is helping with the side effects of the progesterone.
Also just bought some vit D3 as suggested so starting to take that to see if helps
Hope you all had a lovely Christmas xx
