I'm 46 and I had a total hysterectomy 11 weeks ago and I've been been taking Progynova 1mg for 7 weeks.
They've stopped the hot flushes, night sweats and usual menopause symptoms but I'm not sleeping. This has been going on for weeks and I'm back to work tomorrow so need to get it sorted.
I go to bed tired, read for a bit but I can only describe it as my brain is whirring. I feel anxious, jittery and can't lay still. My legs twitch and I could literally scream with frustration. I'm still awake at 4-5 am and feel terrible.
I've googled and these symptoms sound like low estrogen so would I need an increase in the HRT. But I'm worried about the risks if I increase the dose.
I'd appreciate any advice or suggestions and I'm going to make an appointment with my GP.
