Struggling with taking hrt
Just looking for anyone's thoughts or opinions. I'm 34 and was diagnosed last year at 33, but I've had symptoms for years. Obgyn and primary doctor always refused hormone testing until my period stopped for months. I had to push hard for genetic testing for fragile x and to see a reproductive endocrinologist.
I already have health issues up the wazoo. I won't inumerate them but It's a lot and I have adhd and depression and anxiety which are comtributing to my struggles with taking HRT.
After a lot of pressure from all my doctors, and several months focusing on another health issue, I started HRT July first.
I took the progesterone for 10 days and then never got a period, so the doctor upped my estrogen and I'll see what happens when I stop the progesterone in a few days. Both pills because I cant handle patches.
I am struggling hard with taking the hrt. I take a ton of meds already and if I miss a dose of those nothing bad will happen. But I'm scared if I miss my progesterone one time I'll suddenly get my period. I don't even know if it's bad if that happens.
I'm prone to missing meds because of my adhd, even with alarms and reminders so I've been constantly hyper vigilent about taking these. I'm constantly thinking about the meds. On top of it the progesterone makes me feel incredibly weird. One night I took it and I had to crawl up the stairs instead of walking because i felt so dizzy and unsteady and loopy. So I have to plan my night based on when I take the progesterone. I feel really overwhelmed and trapped by this and thinking of doing this all the time until my 50s is so scary. I honestly wish I could just not take them.
Today I dealt with moodswings and feeling a specific kind of sad and I guess I could just use some support. Anything from anyone.
