[Sheri]

For a few days now I've felt a shift in my personality. Almost like I'm feeling like my old self. Today, is the first day i woke with no actual anxious feelings, no brain fog, no dizziness, no low mood. Maybe i actually do need HRT & it isn't my Kaftrio causing my symptoms.
Not sure if its just a blip or the progesterone making me feel good but I'm hopeful its the start of me feeling normal again.
In the past i had good days, with low anxiety but the brain fog, dizziness & low mood would still be there & i still didn't feel - happy.
This feeling, feels different somehow.
I've started rekindling my feelings for my husband again. I actually fancy him again (not that i stopped) & i want to be cuddled again & kiss him like i used too instead of it feeling forced so as to hide how i really felt.
I'm praying this is the start of feeling me again. I'll be devastated if its just a blip or short lived due to being on progesterone.
If it is because of the progesterone, is there a way i could maybe be on it continuously or will it harm me as I'm still having regular periods?
Thank you all for telling me it takes time for HRT  to work & encouraging me to give it the 3 mths.

Fantastic sheri. So pleased for you. How long has it been???

[Sheri]

I'm coming to the end of my 7th week so i guess still early days to say its the HRT.  But 🤞it is.

Oh that’s great! I totally get what you mean too, it’s hard to fully describe it but I too felt like that and it was roughly the same time as you after starting- especially around week 9/10 after I’d started Androfemme. I still had to tweak a bit since then. I’m very pleased for you Sheri, here’s to it getting better and staying that way!

[Sheri]

Thank you ATB. I'm glad its helped you too.
It makes all the difference knowing when you wake up in the morning & your not dreading getting out of bed.

[Tora]

That’s fantastic Sheri! I know exactly what you mean, hard to describe seeing yourself again, watching your confidence return! Have a lovely day!

[Sheri]

Thank you Tora, you too.

What wonderful news! I am so happy for you. 

[Sheri]

I'm happy for myself too 😊😊😊.

I can feel your relief radiating off the page.  It mayB the progesterone part, at least that's a start ;-).

[Sheri]

I agree CLKD. I felt good last month...not as good as this...but still good.
If the estrogen sets me back again, i will have to see if there is an alternative.
Could be I'm low in progesterone but high in estrogen. Is that how it works?
But, I'm in a good place now & determined to be optimistic.
Even managed a nice walk along the beach front tonight & treated myself to some chip shop chips...which i never do as one I'm diabetic & two, i eat clean & healthy.

[CLKD]

Oh I yearn for a view  about 10 miles from the Coast  .  I have the bungalow Plans in my head .......

Little steps.

[Sheri]

I live right next to the beach but also a short drive to the countryside. Our prom is beautiful & scenic & i love a gentle walk in the evening. I don't walk that far...lungs won't do it...but its a good walk out for me lol
I hope you get your bungalow. Who knows what the future holds.

I can smell the sea Sheri, from the way you describe it.

Ah, chips by the coast, nothing better xx
