Thanks all very much for your responses ladies, I really hope then that I will notice some improvement.
I'm not taking HRT purely for breast plumpness ( if only ), the ironic thing is that though I have been on HRT for about three years now, I hadn't noticed ( or clicked that it was hormone related) a resurgence of symptoms, rampant (rabid?) insomnia, anxiety attacks palpitations, high stress, wiredness, exhaustion, scatterbrainedness, memory loss, depression, bones feeling like they were dissolving, and hot ghosts standing behind me (flush I suppose without the sweat that many get), I thought I was already on HRT and that was that, it didn't occur to me that my levels of oestrogen could have dropped in that time hence needing to bump up the dose. When I went to see my consultant in June I didn't even mention any of these symptoms!
It has been two weeks since going from 2 to 3 pumps, I am definitely sleeping better, less anxiety attacks, no palpitations, less jammed on transmit, calmer, no hotness but I have noticed ( been dismayed by ) my horrid chest which does not show any improvement yet, mind you two weeks is not long.
Addendum, before upping the dose I noticed that for last few months my gut was increasingly not working properly, never had constipation before and it was getting increasingly bad. I suddenly realised it might be linked to hormones as well and read up that loss of oestrogen can affect your gut too, dries it out alongside skin, hair eyes etc Since increasing the oestrogen it has yet to improve in fact it's got worse I can hardly go to the toilet and feel very uncomfortable. I eat lots of fresh vegetables, fruit and drink loads of water, and I'm pretty fit and do quite a lot of exercise.
Apparently when you increase your oestrogen you can get constipation ( pregnant women too) so you can't win
!! Hoping it all settle down but impatient for a change.
From plumper breasts to constipation in one fell swoop!
