▲ 6 r/HRT

I usually take 200 mg progesterone at bedtime. It’s great, helps me sleep. In conjunction with estradiol patch. Happy with HRT, good combination helps sleep and good relief from hot flashes. Last night I had a lot going on, talked to hubby about processing some heavy stuff regarding death of loved one right before bed and then realized I had to charge my Fitbit before bed too. Typical life getting in way of best intentions and put me off schedule, totally forgot to take 200 mg progesterone at bedtime. Didn’t have best sleep. Not sure what to do this morning, so decided to take progesterone when I got up to hopefully lessen crazy spotting/ bleeding that will surely happen. At work now and totally sleepy, struggling to focus, feel drugged. Wish I hadn’t taken progesterone in morning. Luckily able to drive in to work before sleepiness set in. Having trouble typing this, feel drugged. Drinking extra caffeine and took some of my husband’s creatine and still sleepy/ drugged feeling. Hope can get through next few hours. Word to the wise, don’t make this mistake. I have a reminder on my phone but with everything on my mind last night I forgot to look at it :(
Maybe I should change reminder to an alarm that I can’t ignore. And enlist hubby to remind me too. Anyone else do this and how long does feeling drugged sleepiness last?
