Yes, that does make sense, thanks Briony (I have PMd you, BTW).
I think the Femoston oestrogen + my own, now rising, is perhaps giving me too much = jitters and wired? Whereas the 3mg in the BCP stopped my own oestrogen, so I was experiencing a bit less than I'm getting now. And it was constant and stable. Does that make sense?
I am on day 6 of the 2/10. Have been feeling quite 'up' but jittery with it, then had a couple of days when I felt almost stoned. Really odd. The stoned feeling is how I used to feel when ovulating pre HRT.
My sleep is good, 6-7 unbroken hours, but still wake before 6am without fail. Will persevere with 2/10 until I see Annie Evans in 5 weeks. But not looking forward to the combi tabs, if last cycle is anything to go by.
Really hope you are settling on the high patches now. Though, you shouldn't have breathed a word, of course.
