I started taking Progesterone (200mg) orally in early September of last year. It helped me sleep for a while, and maybe gave me some extra breast development.
I was taking 8mg Estradiol sublingually every day at that point & all the way up until early Feb, when I was switched to injections. 0.2ml of 20mg/ml once a week.
That switch felt magical! It felt like my hormones were finally in the right place! Life felt easier, I felt like I belonged in my skin, etc.
However, quickly afterwards (2 weeks tops) that sensation diminished and dysphoria slowly crept back in. I’ve been trying to figure out what part of my regimen needs attention with the help of my doctor, whom I’m seeing next week.
I had a suspicion that progesterone was to blame, and this week I held off on taking it for two days just to observe how my body reacted and…I felt better?
Has anyone else had their body’s response to progesterone worsen when their dose / administration method changes?? I can’t find much info on this online.
Anecdotes, advice, etc. are all appreciated!! ♥️
