I know when the nhs meno clinic had me trial the combined pill for my peri symptoms, it was stick it out for 3 months. Some I didn't stick out, like the ring, but when I set my mind to it, I did 3 full months and then things stabalised. Those 3 months could be hellish - no denying it. And, although ultimately it didn't work for me, the point is it took my body 3 months to stabalise on it.
As you know, I'm trialling prog only for my peri symptoms. I've been up and down like a yoyo on dose - which hasn't helped at all. 5 weeks ago I made a concerted decision to start again on a low dose and stick it out. Wow. That first month was horrific... But now, in month 2, I'm not as bad.
I totally understand how you jump on every symptom then feel like your dose /type isn't right. But truely, these are hormones, it does take time to stabalise.
Get in the right mindset and see it through. That's all I can say. But I totally empathise, as I've been on this journey over 4 years!!! Xx
