Hi everyone! ❤️

I’ve been dealing with constipation since starting my estrogen patch, and I’m going into my 3rd month.I could really use some advice!
I drink warm water in the mornings and at least 40 oz. of water throughout the day. I’m also trying to eat as healthy as I can most days and I exercise regularly, but I’m still struggling with constipation.
For those of you who have experienced this with HRT, what has worked for you? Any foods, drinks, supplements, or other things that have helped get things moving? 😩😂
I’d love to hear what works for you ladies! ❤️

Thank you! ☺️

Hi ladies ❤️
I’m having a lot of anxiety after taking 200 mg of progesterone, so I just emailed my doctor to ask if we can lower my dose to 100 mg.
I’ve been experiencing really bad anxiety at night after taking my progesterone. I’ll fall asleep and then wake up about an hour later with a lot of anxiety and my heart racing. Tomorrow will be my 12th day on it, and unfortunately, the nighttime anxiety seems to be getting worse.
During the day, I do experience some anxiety, but it gets much better as the day goes on. I’ve really noticed that after I take my progesterone, I have a much more difficult night.
I know this is all part of the process of finding the right dose and figuring out what works best for my body. I just feel like the progesterone may be contributing to how I’m feeling at night, and I’d really like to see if lowering it to 100 mg makes a difference.
Has anyone else experienced this with progesterone?
I just started HRT almost two weeks ago, and honestly, the patch has been amazing. It has been a game changer for me! ❤️ It’s just the progesterone that seems to be causing problems. I’ll fall asleep, then wake up with my heart racing and intense anxiety.
I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who has experienced something similar. Thank you so much for taking the time to help me through all of this. I truly appreciate your patience, support, and understanding. ❤️
Thank you.

Hi guys ❤️ I recently went to the doctor because I started getting really sick. It began with nausea, followed by diarrhea, and little by little I completely lost my appetite. Now, on top of everything, I’m struggling to sleep.
Within three months, my liver enzymes became really elevated. Thankfully, they have slowly started coming back down, but it’s still scary not knowing exactly what caused everything. I have an ultrasound on Friday to make sure it’s just fatty liver and nothing more serious.
I don’t drink or smoke, so this really caught me off guard. I’ve been eating clean, started exercising, and I’m doing everything I can to take care of myself and get healthy again. I’m just having such a hard time with the lack of sleep, and I honestly don’t know what else to do.
This whole experience has really scared me, and I never want to feel this way again. I’m trying to stay positive and take things one day at a time. ❤️
If anyone has dealt with fatty liver, elevated liver enzymes, or especially the insomnia that came along with it, I would really appreciate hearing what helped you. Any tips, advice, or things I should ask my doctor would mean so much to me. 🙏❤️
I’m ready to do whatever I need to do to get better.
Thank you. 🙏
