Hi,
I have been using hrt since February.
I was getting hot flushes, vertigo and many more symptoms and have always had debilitating pms/pmdd.
I didn't actually have any night sweats.
I started on 25mg, then upped to 50mg and now on a 75mg patch.
I have been using Utrogestan cyclically,
I have only been using half the dose vaginally as I can't handle the side effects I get from using 200mg whether vaginally or orally.
The past week or so I have suddenly been waking in the night soaking un sweat, this has never happened to me before.
I am now wondering if my estrogen is too high, maybe in comparison to my progesterone or maybe I even need more estrogen?
I am finding this all so confusing and have no idea at the moment which way to go and my GP although lovely isn't 100% what I actually need either.
I have also had bad depression this month, plus anxiety has been worse this month.
I have an appointment to see g.p in 2 weeks, am going to ask if I can have my testosterone levels checked aswell as I know low levels can effect mood.
Does anyone know if excess sweating/night sweats can be also caused by too much estrogen?
I have am also speaking to a nurse tomorrow about possibly having a merina coil fitted because the starting and stopping of Utrogestan is really effecting my mood so wondering if more consistency with it all would be easier to manage.
I am 43.
