Feeling worse before it gets better with HRT?!

Hi ladies! I’m 43 and just started continuous estrogen patch and nightly progesterone. Continuous because my doctor is also trying to help smooth out my hormone fluctuations that trigger migraines for me. I started about two weeks ago and have noticed increased feelings of anxiety, fatigue, all of a sudden having trouble falling and staying asleep and I’m having a 3 day migraine at the end of my period. I’m really hoping this is just part of the initial adjustment phase and it’ll get better? I’ve heard I need to just try to make it to at least three months before I reassess how I’m feeling.
