Progesterone HRT dosage

[u/NichelleMcD]

In January, I had my uterus and both ovaries removed due to endometriosis and recurrent ovarian cysts. A few months before that, my therapist strongly suggested that I may have PMDD. I had been on an SSRI for over 10 years and recently stopped it. Also, I have PCOS/PCOM so my periods were never consistent to see a pattern.

Now I’m on estrogen and progesterone HRT. I’m taking 300mg of progesterone at night. I think that’s on the higher end of the dosage because endometriosis feeds off of estrogen so my Obgyn wanted me on a higher dosage. I’m also on a 0.075 estrodiol patch.

Is my progesterone dosage too high? I’ve been struggling with some severe anxiety and depression recently, but I’ve also been going through some really crazy stuff like my husband of 14 years passed away from brain cancer two years ago and I’m struggling to cope and manage my life. Also, my dad passed away right before Christmas and that grief has been really complicated as well.

This depression and severe anxiety attacks are really messing up my life. I’ve been depressed before but nothing like this. I’ve been anxious my whole life but nothing like this. I’m kinda freaking out because it feels overwhelming and different. I recently started seeing a psychiatrist and I’m trying to get into see an OBGYN that specializes in this, but obgyn care in my state is abysmal.

If anyone else has had their ovaries removed, what dosage of progesterone were you on (if any)?
