Not OP here: I’ve been on HRT for 2 months now and am still waking up a lot. I thought it would be life changing but I am very disappointed[/quote]

What dose are you on? The 100mg progesterone wasn’t enough to help my sleep. I didn’t get a benefit until I increased to 200mg about 3 months in. Now my sleep is great. [/quote]

I agree with this. I actually started on the 200 (continuous) and decided I was too sleepy and I’m trying the 100 (continuous). My doc explained that the 200 is for women that take it cyclically, on 2 weeks and off 2 weeks and the 100 was for continuous use no breaks. But she gave me the 200 and told me I could see whether cyclical or continuous worked best for me. I wanted to take it cyclically more like my body is used to / trying to (I’m Peri not meno). But I couldn’t sleep during the off weeks. Doc would let me stay on the 200 but I want to try 100 for now. I can sleep fine on 100 but the 200 really helped. The estrogen may help but it’s the progesterone I notice helping. [/quote]
