Hello again all!
Just thought I'd post a little update, I'm sure there are other newbies like me searching the forums for reassurance , so hopefully it will help someone.
I have continued to take the Utrogestan vaginally and it has made a great difference. I can still feel I'm taking something but the horrible side effects have all but gone. I know it's a marathon not a sprint, so I'm taking each day as it comes but I don't feel ill on the regime at the moment, so I'm very relieved.
A couple of things I have noticed, my boobs are a little bigger. I'm quite
Cursed blessed in that department already thank you very much, so I'm hoping it's temporary!
A big big change, is in my mood. As I may have already said, I recently lost my job due to my brain fog, confusion and one little mistake to many. Until that point, I knew something was wrong but tried to battle on, of course increasing my anxiety 10 fold, until I would freeze if someone asked me a question and I couldn't find the correct answer instantly. It was awful. When I eventually lost my job, it made me really look at what was happening to me and decide to seek help.
I noticed yesterday, that the background, constant anxiety wasn't there . I felt calmer. I tried thinking about some of the things which used to make me panic and they just don't seem to have the same charge. It's not even a week of taking HRT and I can feel a change .
I don't know about the brain fog and confusion yet, I still keep finding things in random places (bunch of bananas in the laundry basket!) but I'm hopeful!
I just wanted to let other new people know, to maybe give a bit of encouragement, as the first few days of HRT were very hard for me and I doubted anything would ever help.
One day at a time
