Period time when on HRT

Just started HRT a couple of weeks ago. Due on period tomorrow as per normal cycle before hrt and am feeling dreadful. Exhausted, moody, headachy etc. Worse than I used to feel around periods before hrt. Is this normal and will it settle?
Up until a couple of days ago, the hrt was helping. I started the oestrogen first and that made me feel instantly amazing - full of energy. Progesterone was trickier and a bit bumpy to start but that settled down.
