Feel like I constantly have a hangover

Been on 0.5mg sandrena gel (equivalent of 1 pump of oestrogel I think) for 4 months.

Initially I noticed my hot flushes went away and the crushing fatigue disappeared but the last two weeks, they're back and I just feel awful.

Really hard to put my finger on it but I'm just feeling hungover and miserable most of the time. Occasionally I start to feel better for a few hours, then I come crashing down again.

I'm 47 and my periods were very irregular before I started HRT, anything from 10 days to 90 days apart.

I think I need to ask for more oestrogen don't I?

I think you do. Do you have a Mirena fitted as well?

No, I'm on progesterone tablets.

200mg for half the month. They make me feel worse if I take them orally.
