@wellnesswithkathleen: I went into this journey not really knowing what to expect. Some things have improved more than I imagined, others are still a work in progress, and I’m learning that there’s no set timeline. I’m sharing my experience because real conversations about HRT matter. If you’re on HRT, has your experience been what you expected? 👇

I’ve been on HRT for about five years. I did have to update my dose after a while so mention to your doctor if you’re still having symptoms cause they can adjust adjust your dose

Progesterone for sleep. I was told at first I didn’t need it since I didn’t have a uterus but found a new dr that prescribed it.

I’m in the 7th week and bleeding all week. I’m honestly considering stopping this all together. I transitioned right from bcp so I am unsure what menopausal symptoms I would have. But this bleeding is annoying. I have felt good otherwise but sleeping through the night is still a struggle. I’m so annoyed by the bleeding though that I want to stop it all.

My joint pain resolved within a week. Unfortunately, I almost immediately noticed heightened anxiety…a weird tense feeling coupled with bizarre emotional volatility. I was on a roller coaster between wanting to cry and wanting to explode. It was like having permanent PMS with breast tenderness and headaches. I stopped sleeping. I woke up every day at 1am with my heart pounding and feeling so agitated I wanted to crawl out of my skin. I was exhausted but completely wired. I was told to just push through the adjustment period and that the side effects would resolve. I was told my labs looked “pretty good”. I made it 4 months and abruptly stopped because I just couldn’t live like that anymore. Sleep returned, my mood stabilized, & I felt like a human being again. The joint pain returned…which sucks but comparatively, I’ll take it. It’s just not the panacea that people talk about for everyone…and I feel like we need to normalize women saying “sorry - this just doesn’t work for me”.

I take 200mg progesterone, L-Theannine, Magnesium and a teaspoon of peanut butter. I didn’t get a good night sleep until I added the peanut butter. Progesterone works best with something fatty.

It doesn’t suit everybody and just listen to your body and not the noise.

Progesterone 100. The bloating and breast tenderness is WOW. About a month on it. Does this calm down?

I'm 13 weeks into HRT tomorrow. I'm 53. I've struggled through the last 3 years, with sweating etc. Ive struggled with no sleep for over a decade. This summer it was the lack of joy and just crying all the time that sent me to the doctor. I take Sandrena gel rubbed on an arm or leg in the morning and a Utrogestan tablet once I'm in bed at night. I noticed changes quite quickly but it was around the 8 week mark I really felt the changes. I stopped crying and sweating! And I now sleep like a stone all night! I feel so much more energised and calmer. I do hope it continues ♥️

I’m fully post menopausal. After a few months adjusting all my awful symptoms eased. Just sleep still eluded me. We bumped up my progesterone dose and holy crap it’s the first good sleep in 10 years!!! For me, this has been life changing
