hi Liz
I'm so sorry you're not feeling good either, I can surely empathise.

About symptoms - well, I've had a total and utter nightmare with the progesterones I've tried on my short career with HRT (so far ONE cycle of Cycloprogynova, ONE long cycle of Tridestra, 15 days of COCP Microgynon - each time each medication abandoned when on the prog phase as I am like a Jekyll and Hyde character and cannot go on

)
with symptoms including (are you ready?
![Wink ;)](https://www.menopausematters.co.uk/forum/Smileys/extended/wink.gif)
)....
Tearful for no specific reason
irritable bordering on anger
bickering with my poor hubby for no reason
no interest in usual things I like
low tolerance for kids bickering
paranoia (no-one likes me, no-one wants to be my friend - this made worse by us living in countryside in a new area kids are older now so don't meet mums at school gate)
depression - waking in small hours - consumed by feelings of despair and utter bleakness
![Cry :'(](https://www.menopausematters.co.uk/forum/Smileys/extended/cry.gif)
feeling my life is pointless, feel old, undesirable etc
NO libido - AT ALL
blowing things out of all proportion.
more as well but can't recall right now - I NEVER want to feel like that again

so, mainly psychological symptoms as you can see. And only when on prog.
It's soooooo clear that its the progesterone that is causing this

need to point out - normally I'm happy upbeat, enjoy a good giggle, night out, see live music etc you get the picture.
