I had cramps for the first couple of months when starting HRT. Have you been using it for long?

I have been using Estrogel since Jan 4th and I've been getting a lot of cramps and the backache I used to get when my period was due. I'm hoping this will stop soon or I may consider other options.
It's so frustrating, HRT helps with some meno symptoms but now I have side effects to put up with

The early symptoms are often the same as you would get before a period. Your body is beginning to react to the increase in oestrogen. It takes up to three months for side effects to settle so don't be too despondent. Which progesterone are you using?
