Evorel 75

Hi all,
I started HRT a year ago. Started on 2 pumps gel and utrogestan on days 15-26, added testogel shortly after. I use progesterone vaginally in case that’s causing any mood symptoms. Main symptom mood swings. After 3 months I upped gel to 3 pumps but still struggling with mood swings. I can sulk for days and I don’t recognise myself sometimes- I hate it but can’t seem to snap out of them. All other symptoms (increased anxiety was my only other one really) have gone. Energy and sleep fine but I eat well and train. However, my mood swings weren’t getting better so switched to evorel 75 as thought maybe I was inconsistent with gel absorption (usually in a rush) I’ve found the patches have helped somewhat and I love the convenience of them but my mood sings are still an issue. Not sure if I should up to 100 or give it a few more months- I have been on 75 for a month. I’m almost 46 and it’s really getting me down as it’s affecting my relationship. Any advice greatly received.

Progesterone taken orally helps my mood swings as it seems to help my irritation and make me feel more even but everyone seems to be different with it,

Thank @hedgheog to be honest I tried vaginally as I’d read its meant to help with mood swings but I can’t really tell any difference!
