Hi all, I'm a newbie to the hrt gang. I'm 40 still having period but have every side effect going so after a battle with my doctors I got hrt. I'm on 200mg of progesterone two weeks on two weeks off and 50mg patch.
When I first started the progesterone it was awful! Felt like I have been kicked in the head and thick head! Doctor said do vaginally which has been a lot better. Now to the problem, I've done my two weeks and now I'm on the break of progesterone and have started about 5 days after my period which I won't lie has been HELL! Lack of sleep, hot sweats, eyesight going out of focus, light head, anxiety and panic and zero energy. Is this normal, or at least expected? I don't think anything is normal really bit just wondered if anyone else has been through the same x
