Hi, I’m on HRT over 2 years now. My gp increased my progesterone to 300mgs for 2 weeks on/ 2 weeks off, to control bleeding, about 7 months ago.

On my week off, I find I’m extremely anxious, overwhelmed, teary, irritable and snappy.

I have a gp appointment for later this week but I’m just wondering if anyone else had similar experience?

I’m ok, the weeks I’m on it ( not great, just ok)

TIA

Would you consider a Mirena coil instead? You wouldn’t get the rollercoaster effect as it’s low dose and continuous

I tried the marina coil around 12 years ago and unfortunately it didn’t agree with me. I had to have it removed after 10 weeks.
