Hi everyone, I am new to posting on this site and have found reading people's advice on here very helpful. I am hoping to understand better why my anxiety levels go through the roof and I wake up hot and can't get back to sleep once every three to four weeks. I haven't had a period in over 8 months and have been taking estrogel (two pumps) and progesterone (100 mg) every day for the past two months. I started taking the HRT because the above mentioned symptoms were happening almost all of the time for months. Although I have been feeling so much better, these times when I am anxious, sleepless, sad, are so frustrating and I absolutely dread these phases. I am 48, if that is helpful.
My question is, is it normal to still have issues sometimes even when taking HRT? Also, is anyone able to tell me how the HRT gets after being on it for a few months? Will my symptoms all vanish soon? OMG, I hope so...Thanks in advance to everyone. Any words of advice would be greatly appreciated.
