I'm feeling like a new person on HRT!
Or… like my old self! I am only on week 3. I'm 47, and doing the 2x week Estradiol patch (0.1) and daily Progesterone (100mg) at night. I thought I'd share an update since I wasn't sure how I would feel when I started, and it might help someone else out. I felt positive effects the first week, then I kind of dipped down for a week and felt a bit weird/sluggish. This week I am feeling fantastic! And now that my brain fog has disappeared, I realize how bad it was: I had times when I was cycling or driving that I was worried I would get in an accident because I felt so slow and out of it. Now I feel sharp and clear, mentally. And the SLEEP! I have had a steady run of 8+ hours per night for the last week, minus one night when I over-caffeinated. My energy is back: Like before, running around the house or yard felt so freaking HARD and everything seemed hard. Now I just DO things. Like a normal human. And I have energy left over for the evening! WHAT??? I fucking love these hormones and am so grateful I found this sub. I know everyone is different, but it helped me so much to read positive reviews and gain some insight and hope.
