Increases HRT - breast tenderness / pain

[Marmitemyway]

On GPs advice i increased my sandrena hrt from 2mg to 2.5mg around 8 days ago
I have a Mirena coil for the progesterone element
I’m 54 and been on 2mg for past two years but due to brain fog and low mood and following blood tests Gp says there was capacity in oestrogen levels to increase so to try the 0.5 increase to see if it makes a difference
the last few days though my breasts have felt really tender/ heavy and full and lower stomach bloated
i have small breasts and tonight when I took my bra off the heaviness and fullness was so painful
could it be this increase - I hadn’t had this symptom before
any advice welcome

Yes, it should settle down.

@DustyLee123 im not sure it’s worth the breast pain wondering whether I’m better to stick at 2mg or maybe alternate between 2 and 2.5

Just give it a week and see how you are. You can take paracetamol if you need it.
