I’m on my 3rd month of HRT low level Elleste Duet
I decided to give HRT a good go as the amount of Peri symptoms I have are ridiculous mood ibs with constipation insomnia anxiety to name a few
Month 1 highlights were diarrhoea on estrogen and headaches on progesterone
Month 2 those Side effects stopped giving me the opportunity to realise how much worse progesterone was making my anxiety and insomnia a bit of broken off nytol used to help me sleep but couldn’t do anything and the physical and mental fight or flight feelings were overwhelming
I’m a week into month 3 so still on the estrogen part and I’m now aware of my upper stomach now being an issue whereas I’m more used to the rest of my stomach being the issue
It feels like an uncomfortable tense knot it would be easy for me to reach the conclusion that it’s a lasting effect of the physical effect of the anxiety but I don’t want to jump to conclusions
Can anyone relate?
