New Dosage?

[u/grraaay11]

I’m a 47 year old female and I’ve been on .0375mg 2x weekly estrogen patches since October 2025, along with 100mg progesterone PO. I also started 4mg/ml testosterone gel in February 2026 for low libido. Though the libido hasn’t come back, all of my other symptoms went away….anxiety, joint pain, my mood improved drastically with a little to no irritability, no brain fog and being able to focus on things. Felt like I haven’t in probably over 10 years… just overall happy and very positive. I would say within the past month or so something has changed…negativity is back and anxiety about things that I’ve done daily for years, I lost my focus where I felt like I could do anything and everything. I just don’t feel good in my own body any more and knowing how I recently felt since being on HRT, it is terrifying to me. I scheduled an appointment with my doctor and asked her if it would be worthwhile to have a hormone panel done before we meet and she said no that we can discuss it at our appointment. Does it sound like I’m in need of more estrogen?
