I’ve been on HRT (patches 50strength and utrogesran) for a couple of years. Still have periods that come whenever they want (regular but doesn’t respect the HRT cycle)
Every cycle between ovulation and period I get a phase of my mood being shit - it’s like PMS except it only happens when I wake and slowly goes away as the day goes on.
On those mornings, I’m awfully
moody, convincing myself my partner is having affairs (I’m fairly sure he’s not I don’t know why I feel that way ), grumpy as all hell and just miserable. It’s all better and back to my usual cheery self by mid afternoon.
I know this is hormonal. It only lasts a few hours of a few days each cycle but it’s horrible when it happens.
My GP is worse than useless. I don’t want antidepressants for something lasting a few hours each month. Would making changes to the HRT (up or down) be likely to help?
