Hello, I am having a difficult start with HRT and hopping to get some help.
I am in peri-menopause and need to start HRT due to vaginal anthropology, joint pain, fatigue, and minor night sweats. I had never had PMS in my life, but apparently I can not tolerate even a little of micronized progesterone, even vaginally. As a result, I was fitted with Jaydess/Skyla IUD 2 weeks ago. My cramps are mostly gone, there is still some light spotting, which is expected and not an issue. A few days after getting IUD fitted I have got massive night sweats, some acne, and swollen fingers and ankles despite using 0.75mg of Divigel/Sandrena and a little of Testosterone cream. I increased Divigel to 2mg and night sweats and acne mostly stopped, but swollen fingers and ankles presisted and my breasts became painful. I reduced Divigel to 1.5mg and my night sweats are back, but I still have painful breasts and swollen fingers and ankles.
How do I fix it?
Thank you so much in advance!
