Hi, I have been taking estrogel 3 pumps, patches( equivalent to 4 pumps) and ultrogestan for 10 days per month and a pea size blob of androfeme for 7 months.
I had a follow up consultation with hrt clinic recently and due to some spotting, i was advised to take daily ultrogestan and that my pea size dose of androfeme was too small, so increase to a blueberry/ marrowfat pea size.
After about 2 weeks I noticed that my anxiety ramped up massively. My boobs were tender and I noticed I felt more hot.
The anxiety was causing me a problem so I contacted the clinic and was advised to go back to ultrogestan 10 days per month. I think I'm sensitive to ultrogestan.
Blood test showed that my estrogen levels were good but my testosterone was a bit low. They said I could try taking more androfeme for a few months but stop if I didn't feel any better. In unsure about trying this.
I'm really struggling with the anxiety to the point where I've been prescribed beta blockers.
In the last week I have dropped androfeme back to the pea side dose I was on prior to anxiety overdrive and back to ultrogestan 10 days per month (as the anxiety increased when I increased androfeme.) My breasts are still tender.
I'm sure the anxiety is hormone based. Can androfeme cause anxiety? Anyone got any advice please as I'm really struggling.
