HRT was great at the start - really felt brilliant- but I am into my 6th month on evorel sequi and frankly I feel dreadful. I have literally piled on the weight - i suspect it’s the hormones - I am so bloated in my tummy and boobs and I look so different.
At the start, it helped my mood but now I can’t tolerate the progesterone patches- last month it gave me suicidal ideation and I dread those 2 weeks.
i have constant dragging in my bloated stomach, my hair has been falling out on the progesterone patches and I feel like shit. I couldn’t tolerate the contraception pill either and this feels similar.
I feel like I need a break from it and a reset to see where I am at naturally but am really worried about coming off it and whether it’s going to make me feel even worse.
The weight gain is getting me down - it’s ridiculous- my diet and exercise is the same yet adding in the HRT and I have ballooned. I hate it - I don’t feel myself.
Anyone got any advice or taken a break? I am not ruling it out again but just need to feel like my body is mine again and not a bloated mess.
Aibu to come off it? Anyone got any advice?
