Anyone else experienced like PMS on HRT

[easterdaffsx]

I started HRT and on reflection after about 9 months I'd gained weight (can put that down to natural age process) amd become really quite tiresome to live with . I can only describe is as like the PMS I used to get . Sort of really wound up and argumentative before my period but all the time .
I didn't want to yo yo my HRT so after a good 9 months I came off for 3 .
It could be coincidence but I don't think I got that feeling amd it subsided . There were no arguments at home and it felt like I'd sort of I wound .
I did lose my sex drive a bit off HRT amd know I need to be on it as I have a condition which apparently it can help , so last week I started it back .
Again could be coincidence but honestly I feel like I could snap I'm so wound up .
Is this me just blaming HRT for my raging feelings of stress do you think ?
Thanks

Hi @easterdaffsx, we're just giving your thread a bump in case anyone's around to give you some advice and support.

Yes, I've just taken myself off it. The synthetic progestins do not agree with me and seriously intensify my pms to the point I would say it was pmdd. It made me depressed and angry. I had the same reaction years ago when I took norethisterone. I have a telephone consult next week and am going to ask for body identical HRT to see it that's any better as unfortunately my symptoms have returned with a vengance and I'm getting very little sleep .
