I’ve been taking HRT for 6 weeks. 2 pumps of oestrogel and utrogestan tablets (progesterone) to take on days 15-26. I’ve been having intermittent periods for the last 18 months so not having had a period for 4 months prior to starting the meds, I didn’t have a cycle to guide me when starting the progesterone. Not sure if this makes any difference. But I feel so tearful the last week my hip particularly is really stiff and sore and I’m so exhausted!! Sleep not a problem but having to nap everyday whilst looking after my 5 yr old! Everyone tells me it will get better but I feel so awful 😞 I feel like throwing them down the toilet. I’ve struggled to get another GP appointment. The doctor initially told me to book a follow up in 3 months but the receptionist said their booking system doesn’t take bookings that far in advance! Then my 3 month supply of progesterone on prescription was unavailable due to shortages, so think this is adding to my anxiety😩 I can’t carry on like this I feel like a basket case!
