when to up the dose of hormonal replacement therapy?
Hello all. I been on hrt for a month and been feeling well. Hot flashes are gone and join aches too. I went back for a check up and she asked me a couple of times if i needed more 😅
she said before I was depleted of estrogen and she put me in the lower dose.. and wanted to add a little more. I been feeling good.. or I guess I didn’t know how sick I was until I got better so I told her no. I was ok.
I am 38 so I think being in lower dose is safer anyways)
But what are the signs when you need to adjust the dose? Any symptoms I need to watch for? I am in 100 mg progesterone and 1 estradiol. Only bad side effect I had is acne.. big cyst and painful acne. She told me my body was purging but prescribed spironolactone.
