60f started HRT a week ago and feel like my ovaries are grapefruits
I just started estradiol patch and 100mg progesterone a week ago and almost right way I felt like my uterus and ovaries “woke up”, and not in a good way.
I’m going to call my doctor, but I’m wondering if this is normal.
I’ve always had painful ovarian cysts and endometriosis. All of this went away 5 years ago when I stopped taking birth control to see if I was in menopause. I post menopausal according to the tests.
Has anyone had this happen where all their premenopausal stuff came back? I was on Seasonale continuously to control pain (endometriosis, ovarian cysts and breast tenderness).
I’ve felt fine for 5 years but was convinced by others (including my doctor) to start HRT.
Thank you.
