Best of luck Redcat 😊
I second the tip to keep a diary / symptom log as we forget (!) what happens & then don't see patterns.
I tried Ellest Duet first, and stuck out 3 months, but on reflection my reaction to the progesterone (facial skin deterioration & black depression) was so striking & severe I wish I'd brought it up with my gp & switched sooner. I'm now on Femeston and it is suiting me better, and the difference was noticeable from the first week of the progesterone phase, so although I agree with the advice of sticking to one form for at least 3 mths if you're not seeing any difference, as it may just take time, I also feel there is merit in questioning adverse responses if you get them. Learning to trust that we can 'hear' our body's messages is part of this menopause journey, I think 😏
Hopefully you'll have hit on the right hrt for you first time, and all will improve over the next couple of months. But if not, don't worry - there are more options and plenty of support here from some very experienced members for choosing which to try, why & when.
