Having a bit of a panic, hopefully you can talk me down.
I have been on continuous HRT since February, was on sequential previously. After initial breakthrough bleeding, I have felt great and thought I had finally cracked the HRT puzzle.
I am on Provera and there was a period of time when I had trouble getting it. When I was on sequential, I was taking 2 x 5mg for 14 days and the pharmacist could only get 10mg tablets, which was fine so I just took one a day.
Then I moved to continuous and only need to take 5mg a day.
What has happened is, the prescription must have changed to 10mg all the time and I stupidly didn't even check, so for, must be months months now, I think I have been taking 10mg a day instead of 5mg. ☹
I noticed when i picked up my last batch from the pharmacy and it says, "Half a tablet a day" on the label.
I can cut them in half as they are marked and have been doing so this week but feel rubbish. Headachy and a bit crampy.
I have been feeling so well, I'm scared I'm going back to the roller coaster of trying to feel half way normal.
Do you think I will settle on the lower dose eventually? It's what I should be on, so hopefully it's enough for my needs?
Sorry for the rant, I feel so stupid. It felt like I was getting back to my old self and now I think I have messed it up x
