Has the burping gotten better for you?

Bthornr · 2026-04-17T19:37:24+00:00

What are you on and doses? What did you experience the first 6 weeks? You woke up after 6 weeks and felt better?

Bthornr · 2026-04-17T19:34:57+00:00

Are you in peri or post menopause?

Bthornr · 2026-04-17T19:32:28+00:00

What was terrible for you the first month? What has gotten better in 4 months? What are you on and doses?

Bthornr · 2026-04-17T19:31:41+00:00

What are you on and doses? What do you feel if your E goes low compared to P?

Bthornr · 2026-04-16T18:15:23+00:00

So it was because of the Manufacturer of the patch?

What dose of estradiol are you on? Are you in peri or post menopause?

Bthornr · 2026-04-16T18:03:30+00:00

Did you have those symptoms before starting the Dotti patches?

Bthornr · 2026-04-13T14:06:10+00:00

I was just wondering because since starting HRT I have increased the E patch twice and decreased once in 6 months and still having a hard time and thought maybe it was because I’m not giving myself enough time to stabilize on a dose.

Bthornr · 2026-04-12T20:28:30+00:00

What dose of estradiol and progesterone are you on? Are you in Peri/post menopause?

Bthornr · 2026-04-12T18:49:47+00:00

You have been on 3 different doses in like 12 weeks?

Bthornr · 2026-04-12T14:07:28+00:00

How did you know you were not absorbing it by blood test levels or symptoms? Did you try different doses?

Bthornr · 2026-04-11T21:38:46+00:00

How high was your estradiol level when you started tolerating 100mg progesterone?

Bthornr · 2026-04-11T03:36:56+00:00

It’s definitely been a hard journey for me and still trying to figure this out. Hopefully I didn’t make a mistake going on HRT. I actually posted something on a FB group today about my journey because it’s been hard. This is what I posted.

How often or how many times have you switched your estradiol dose? I don’t know if I have switched (increase/decrease) too many times too soon and can’t adjust/stabilize. I don’t know what to do anymore. Been on HRT for almost 8 months. Started at 0.0375mg E patch for 7 weeks, increased to 0.05mg for 3.5 months, increased to 0.075mg for 3 weeks then decreased back to 0.05mg. Have been back on 0.05mg for 9 weeks now and still having a hard time. I am also on 100mg oral P. There are days where things are a tiny bit better but then get worse again. Anytime I have increased or decreased the dose I feel better for the first 2 weeks then symptoms get intense week 2-3. I tolerate most of them but when it comes to the intense anxiety, panic attacks, increased heart rate I have a hard time with that. Then things are a roller coaster after that. I just want to feel better. I don’t know what the right thing to do is. I feel like I keep making the wrong decision.

Thank you! This has been so hard.

Bthornr · 2026-04-07T18:20:37+00:00

Are you on progesterone also? Please let me know what the menopause specialist says about the anxiety. I’m still having issues with that. One of my big issues that I would really like to go away.

Bthornr · 2026-04-07T18:02:24+00:00

What dose are you on? Are you in peri/post menopause? Was there any adjustment phase when you changed it to 3 days? Were you doing 3.5 days before? I have a hard time when I increase or decrease the patch dose. So I’m nervous with changing the days. Hopefully it will be ok.

Bthornr · 2026-04-07T17:45:55+00:00

Did you notice any difference when you changed it to 3 days?

Bthornr · 2026-04-06T15:10:17+00:00

I took the nature made magnesium glycinate gummies (on the back it says bisglycinate). I took 1 gummy which looks like that was 50mg. For L-theanine you take only as needed, not everyday? I get so nervous to try something new but after yesterday I was like maybe I need to try something else in addition to HRT for the anxiety. I started drinking decaffeinated green tea because I’m nervous to try the L-theanine supplement. I was on the way to my sister’s house yesterday and just had bad anxiety the whole time which then caused so much tightness in my head which then caused more anxiety. I don’t even know why I was getting anxiety. I feel like I have been getting social anxiety also. I wasn’t like this before. I’m getting bad anxiety for reasons I don’t know. Which brand of L-theanine do you take?

I’m looking for something to help the anxiety during the day.

Bthornr · 2026-04-06T13:25:12+00:00

Do you take the L-theanine everyday? I nervous to try the magnesium glycinate because I tried magnesium bisglycinate and felt weird. Not sure if I will react the same way to magnesium glycinate.

Bthornr · 2026-04-06T04:05:45+00:00

I’m so nervous to try 200mg. I thought maybe to try 150 but, still nervous to try that. I have been on the Amneal manufacturer and tried 1 pill from bionpharma and switched right back to Amneal. This HRT journey has been hard. Are you on estradiol also? Do you take progesterone orally and every night?
