Low mood and so tired on Cyclogest!

Hey all. I'm 9dpo5dpt and the clinic gave me Cyclogest to use because they had run out of Lutigest. I felt ok on Lutigest but I suddenly feel SO tired and my mood is particularly low now I'm on cyclo. Just a bit flat.... anyone else experienced this on Cyclo? Wondering if it's because I switched over so would love to ask if any of you might have had the same issues with this particular medication? Thank you!

I had the same thing with Cyclogest. I think all those hormones just wreck havoc with your mood and I regularly needed a nap 😂

Hi, I am also on cyclogest as part of my mock cycle treatment and I feel bloody awful!! I’m exhausted and fatigued..feels like a huge hangover. Mood is definitely flat and I just get up in the morning counting the hours until bedtime. I’m a disaster to live with…I’m sure OH is running out the door to work in the morning trying to escape me :( On top of that…I have now developed CANKLES! 😫

Oh no! Well if it helps I'm in the EXACT SAME BOAT! I'd feel bad for my OH but we're the ones having to deal with this physically so....! I just got off the phone to my clinic who offered to put me on something else so maybe it's worth an ask? Honestly if this process wasn't tortuous enough, it has to throw in depression too. Hope it's all worth it for both of us x

Thanks @Honeydukes8585 its a complete mission isn’t it! You’re right about us having to go through it all..hard not to feel bitter about that at times! I’m going to invest in some sexy compression socks tomorrow..the glamour! 😳Willing to do anything to deflate these cankles!x
