Hi all,
I've been on HRT since 25th August; before that my anxiety and insomnia were horrific. I'd always previously been a really good sleeper. After a few days on HRT my sleep pattern started to return to normal, and it has stayed like that, until last night, I literally have not slept at all.
I know its early days however after a few days on HRT my sleep pattern did return to normal. I'm on 25mcg estraderm and 100mg utrogestan orally, which I take in the mornings as it didn't seem to help me sleep.
I'm thinking that maybe I'm not absorbing enough estrogen through the patch and I'm thinking of asking my GP to put me on gel, and I'm also thinking of changing utrogestan to the vaginal route as I understand there are less side effects from the progesterone the vaginal route.
Any advice would be grateful as I cannot have the insomnia back it nearly drove me suicidal.
Thanks xxx
