I’m 51 peri and can mainly stay on an even keel for most of the month on HRT but 5 days into the progesterone I feel so low so anxious and so desperate, literally shake with the anxiety I know I just have time get through it each month but what would happen if I shortened the amount of time I take the progesterone?

This is exactly the same as me! On Everol Sequi and 4 days into the progesterone I feel knackered, miserable and anxious 😟

Sorry no help OP but you're not alone.

I have a mirena and I don't have this with oestrogel. Would you consider an alternative progesterone source?

Mind you, I think I suffer when my progesterone rises as I get terribly constipated for days and bloated. A few days after ovulating until my period. So mirena isn't perfect and hasn't stopped my issues I suppose.

I'm currently off my HRT facing hysterectomy and prolapse repairs though!

Hi @greeceiwwhereimdreamingof can I ask which HRT you take? I'm on femostan and think I may have mood changes during the last 2 weeks of each pack..

I'm on Femoston 1/10. I am very happy on the first 2 weeks and get stressy during the second two weeks. This month I have got particularly bad and my temper is on a knife-edge. I've got a telephone appointment to review with the GP tomorrow.
