Hi
This is my 3rd attempt on HRT.......
I re-started just over 5 weeks ago at 50mg Estradot, doc said increase to 75 mg if no changes at all after 2 weeks. I increased and had 8 amazing days....it was like OMG is this life without all the peri rubbish...then anxiety etc came back but even worse.
Stuck with it at 75 mg. I then had to go on utrogestan, which I was dreading as my previous experience was awful. But was told to use vaginally and report back.
First week I felt low and drowsy but the increased anxiety started a few days before starting this, so I emailed my doc. She said to increase to the next phase of 100 mg, which I have.
My first week on utrogestan hasn't been as awful as before, and I have had a couple of days of no anxiety....I still have a week to go on utrogestan, but I am hoping it will be ok.....and I am hoping the 100mg is now kicking in.
So from my experience you start low which seems to help but I think once body starts receiving it, it then decides if it needs more, which to me if your symptoms are coming back is the sign. I will now be sticking at 100mg until my review late December....
Good luck x
