What do I aim for with HRT?

Hello, this might be a daft question but this is a whole new world for me and I seem to be the first of my friendship group to go down the HRT route so no-one to discuss this with.

Sorry, my question is - Ive recently started HRT and my symptoms are still there but I feel more able to cope with them. Should I expect my symptoms to go? I'm on the lowest dose of everol patches and 48.

You probably need to give it a bit of time, and I suspect it depends on your symptoms. My two were flushes, vaginal atrophy/lots of UTIs and loss of libido. Flushes went PDQ, vag/UTIs took a bit more sorting out/faffing with doses and medications and are much better but not 100% fixed, libido is still missing.
