Unfortunate side effect of HRT.

I've been on HRT for a month. The day I stuck that first patch on, my bowels have been sluggish. I used to be regular every morning. Now it's about every 2-3 days. I'm not uncomfortable. Fibre isn't an issue and I haven't changed my diet since when all was well. Please tell me this passes?

I take a low dose magnesium tablet at dinner time (so I'm not taking it close to taking the progesterone). I could try a powder if that's better. Any particular brand you recommend?

I usually put a good heaped tablespoon of that in the morning smoothie. :-)
