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.

I put a set on Monday night and they lasted until Thursday when they started lifting. I was hoping they’d last till Saturday because I put glue on first with the sticky tabs.

These I just stuck on with minimal prep. I only paid $4.99 at TJ Maxx so no big deal if they come off in a day or two.

My toenails from imPress are still on!

Retail brand: imPress by KISS. I also used Glamnetics brush on glue so hopefully they stay on till Saturday. 5 days would be a record for me!

I also included free feet pics for you weirdos. These are also imPress. I used glue on them, too. I need to cut them down a bit, though.

I got these at Marshall’s in the check out line for $4. I put them on without extra nail glue because I’m leaving for a trip on a few days and gonna put on a fresh set then. They’ll be easier to take off if I don’t have the hard glue underneath.
