First month of oral HRT?

Dear MNs,

I started on the patch seven months ago, but didn't really notice any changes (I was still bleeding twice a month). To try to regulate my cycle, my GP started me on oral HRT. It has only been a month and I haven't had a period yet but I'm so surprised by the intensity of the side effects. In the last two weeks I've been so nauseous (like morning sickness) and had lower back and abdomen pain - this evening I'm really crampy. I'm 42. Has anyone experienced similar side effects?

Thank you!
