Tiredness

Hi I have recently - a coupleor so weeks ago been given a prescription of oestrogen gel and pregesterone tablets to be taken for 12 days a month also for menopausal symptoms. The problem is I am experiencing extreme fatigue and don't know if it's the gel? I've been using it about 10 days now and was hoping for energy but this is tiredness and fatigue like being pregnant- which I'm most definitely not!!!! Can anyone help to know why this is? Hmm

We’re you this tired before, or is it just since being on the treatment ?

Much less tired before but still tired - I don't think this gel suits me! Maybe I should stop it and see what happens is what I'm thinking now. So hard to know what to do for the best! Hmm

I’m taking oestrogel and progesterone tablet too. I get very tired even though the gel is helping my insomnia 🤷🏻‍♀️ I find my eyes very heavy at times

It's so confusing I expected to feel energised and rested at the same time also! Perhaps it takes a while - how long have you been on it? Smile

Almost two months now. If I sit down at all during the day my eyes feel very sleepy.

Same here. I've been experimenting and think it is the Utrogestan causing the problem for me
