Yes this

It did take a few months dor things to settle into what feels like a natural rhythm now.

I had giant perky boobs for those few months which was the silver lining (im a totally deflated 32B so thats an exaggeration). Boobs are back to normal (aka “sad”) and I am better rested and everything else.

Are you getting enough vitamin D?

The progesterone makes one tired at first, but give it a few more weeks....

I’m in Peri and it took 6 weeks to see positive changes.

HRT is not for everyone.

5 years most menopause and finally started HRT four weeks ago. On .0375 patch and 100 mg progesterone. My sleep has improved but I feel so tired during the day and I’m so much more irritable. I’ve read these are all common side effects in the beginning but discouraged. I started HRT to help with mood and also for bone health. My friends who are using HRT in perimenopause all have talked as thought HRT was magic and instantly made them feel better. Is this because they’re perimenopausal? I have a follow up in 2 months so I will stay on it until then but really am dragging throughout the day. Have others experienced this? And if so did it improve?
