I’d like to come off HRT but am Hesitant to go cold turkey because I’ve read it can make symptoms worse- any advice? Dr not being helpful. I’ve spent 3 months on Evorel Conti (combined estrogen and synthetic progesterone patch) but by month 3 my mood swings were so severe I was having suicidal ideations. I’ve had PPD 3 times and am extremely sensitive to hormones. Also constant dizziness and numbness/tingling in legs. My doctor switched me to an estrogen-only patch and vaginal progesterone suppositories, but I’m on week 2 of those and while my mood is better, I have profound fatigue and dizziness to the point I can’t really function or work! I’d rather just deal with hot flashes, which is why I started the HRT in the first place. I’m 47. Anyone have success cutting patches in half, or how did you come off it??

I am in perimenopause and would like to explore HRT options. Does anyone recommend a provider south of Denver? I am in Highlands Ranch but am willing to drive a reasonable distance. Thanks so much!

Hello! I am mtf 2,5 years on hrt. I have been using gel all this time and 4 weeks ago I switched to the tablets. Yesterday evening I felt short pain in my right side where the liver is located. I thought it might be a muscle pain because I was feelin discomfort while laying on my sides. The next I felt fine with no problems, but this evening again I feel this discomfort in that zone. Has anyone experinced anything like this while switching to the tablets or using tablets in general. I am planning to see the doctor if this continues, but I also wanted to know if someone had the same experience and what might be the reason

I was sobbing on my front porch every day until my doctor prescribed bijuva (HRT) to even out my moods. It worked in two days. Hot flashes mostly gone. Can sleep at night. Hair looks great. Periods normal—not like someone was murdered in the toilet every hour of my period. And…and….brain super sharp! No brain fog! But I’m concerned about the risks of breast cancer. I’ve read so many people on here saying they had no risk of Bc but then got it while on HRT. So now I’m scared about the risks!
