I posted a couple of months ago about being nervous to start HRT. Well I've been on it since the end of March and all in all I'm satisfied except with the low moods that I started to notice. I was put on 025 estradoll patch and 200 mg progesterone. My background is I did need progesterone to have two healthy pregnancies after two miscarriages when I was younger. And also I took a compounded progesterone drug for 6 months a couple years ago for sleep. My main menopause symptoms were hot, flashes and insomnia. I think that's why she put me on the higher dose of progesterone. However, I started to notice low moods and I'm thinking the progesterone is too high. It's not like it's keeping me sleep for 8 hours either!
So I stopped taking it for two nights and already feel a slight difference. Would you all advise me to ask my provider to lower my progesterone? I've seen conflicting the evidence on if I should increase estrogen, and some actually say you should increase progesterone if you're having some sensitivities. Any advice appreciated!
