I’ve been on 1 pump Estrogel and 100mg progesterone since April and will be seeing my doc again soon. For the last six weeks I’ve been having more mood swings and just started a full on period after six months. What adjustments should I make for the mood swings, periods, pms symptoms, sore boobs, evening out my moods, swinging energy levels? My hot flashes have all but disappeared and I’m still sleeping through the night, for the most part. But I just don’t feel as good as the first couple of months.
At one pump, you’re on a lower dosage of estrogen. But because your own hormones are still wildly fluctuating, you’re likely getting symptoms when those hormones are swinging one way or another. Generally the dosage is “right” when hot flashes are gone entirely, but for your other symptoms, it’s due to the fluctuations…and periods will continue and be unpredictable on MHT/HRT, unless you switch to a cyclical progesterone method.
