Increased symptoms on HRT?

[frick]

Hello
Seeking a bit of wisdom.
Started HRT a few days ago. Since then I’ve had a definite increase in….well, feeling hot (not in that way, sadly for DH ). I’ve never had hot flushes before…. The symptoms I’ve been having (hence seeking HRT) have been more mood/fatigue related.
Appreciate any insight/similar experiences.
Thank you!

It took a while to settle for me, a couple of months. Some symptoms like the nightly toilet trips stopped immediately but others did increase a bit first.

Ah - thanks both for your insights. Here’s hoping for some cooler weather and settled hormones all round

You need to be on it for a couple of months before deciding what your symptoms are.
That’s why the GP gives you 3 months to start with an then a review.
Have a look at Dr Louise Newson’s app Balance. You can log your symptoms etc on there daily and then produce a report to show your GP. I’ve found it really useful.
