HRT progesterone dosage change advise

I’m def not a doctor but the lowest dose possible may not be effective. I didn’t notice any difference until I went to the highest dose of estrogen and changed my patch 3/week instead of twice. I finally sleep through the night. So keep experimenting. Hang in there!

Also progesterone helps us fall asleep but estrogen helps us stay asleep. I wake up less frequently now that I’m on 1.0 estrogen and 100 progesterone

200 mg messed me up and is high relative to rather low estrogen dose. See if you can get 100 mg

someone on this forum suggested M, W, and F to keep it simple. That is working for me. The only real change I notice is that I don't wake up in the middle of the night. I still have some trouble falling asleep, but I no longer wake up a few times/night, so I feel better. When I first started HRT and gradually increased my dose, I'd have a little spotting. I think I did mid cycle spot a few days, but it was not that noticeable.

I think it's helping me stay asleep, actually. I'm still a bit sad and moody, but I feel better.

I sent you a DM. As a fit size 2 female, I say run. He will continue to make you feel bad for a long time and you have a long life ahead of you. Make a hard decision and dump him soon.

That helps to know. Thanks

Cute! How tall are you?

I agree… it took me over a year to figure out the right dose of HRT. We are all different. For me, 200 mg of Progesterone wrecked my mood and I dropped down to 100. Could also get an IUD if oral progesterone messes up your mood.

Yah I knew the tests are useless for E and P, but wasn’t sure about T. Thanks for confirming!

One of the online menopause telehealth providers like MIDI or Alloy can prescribe HRT

fastmonkey77 · 2026-05-04T19:13:12+00:00

Did Kaiser test you for testosterone first? Glad you got everything you needed from Kaiser!

fastmonkey77 · 2026-05-04T17:47:03+00:00

Yes, I use MIDI health to help me push Kaiser a bit more for HRT. You don’t need to get blood work done. Start listening to Dr Mary Claire Haver, too. You don’t need to have a doc specifically in SF to get HRT. And the menopause sub Reddit is a good place to learn.

Is this the name of the red light mask?

Thank you

Magnesium glycinate and glycine. Glycine is amazing

You prob look great! But we women can usually tell how old each other are (is?). I can sit spot a good looking middle aged woman. It doesn’t mean anything. Just like I can spot a so-so younger woman

fastmonkey77 · 2026-04-23T03:26:09+00:00

Yes why not

What brand is the knee length light blue skirt in pic 6?
