HRT - has anybody increased their dose of oestrogen and had peri symptoms come back?

(Posted in Menopause too, but it's v quiet over there)

I've had some symptoms that I think testosterone will help with (poor concentration, low libido), but while waiting for blood test etc., GP suggested upping my dose of oestrogen from Evorel 50 to Evorel 75 - it's been about a month, and gradually my original peri symptoms of insomnia, hot flushes and anxiety have been coming back.

I pieced this together while lying awake, roasting hot, at 1am, and am going to call GP this afternoon to ask to go back to Evorel 50, but just wondering if this is a Known Thing?

Google has proven kind of useless. The AI suggested that yes, this is a Known Thing, but couldn't really back it up with anything.

I've read that too much oestrogen can cause symptoms, OP, but only anecdotally.
