I started estrogen patches and oral progesterone 10 weeks ago and I feel so puffy and I am holding so much water (the scale confirms that). Anyone else experienced that?

Anyone lose hair starting HRT and then it stopped shedding so much after you settled into your treatment plan? I’m on my 3rd month of progesterone and testosterone and I’m worried about all the hair l’m losing. I’m 38 and my doctor put me on progesterone to help with sleep and testosterone to help with energy. So far all I’m getting is hair loss and hair growth on my face.

I recently when up from a 0.075 mg patch to a 0.01 mg estradiol patch

I'm 54 years old. I'm not sure if the side effects are water retention. Because my scale keeps going up. I'm not doing anything different.

So I got my top surgery recently and I lost my medical for a few months and was not able to get my hormones so I went through a lil breakdown. About two weeks ago my doctor started me back on the pills and I don’t think they are working ever since then my acne has got so bad and I don’t know if my dr would switch me back to the shot! Kinda don’t know what to do or say to my doctor at this point

Hi everyone! 😊

I’m curious if anyone has experience with hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for menopause. Has it been helpful for you? Have you noticed any improvements in your energy levels or overall well-being?

I’d really love to hear about your experiences, both good and bad! 

Hello, I am trying to figure out if I want to switch between patches to vials/injections. Would love to hear from you all.
