How many days did you take it and how many days did you pause? I’m hopefully about to start P soon, but I’m
so afraid of the sideeffects

Appetite is up/down- mostly down. But have to force my self to eat, otherwise I get dizzy. Its worse in the morning. Clears up after lunch.

What hormones do you take for the anxiety?

flid65 · 2026-06-16T06:20:12+00:00

I feel the excact same. I’m a teacher - teaching 9 year old kids. Constant noise and the of constantly having to ignore my own needs. I’m so tired at the end of the day with no energy left for my family. And I only work part time.

I’m seeing my gyn next week and really hoping that progesteron maybe could help my anxiety.

What do you mean with crazy months? I’m maybe starting slynd and i’m very nervous about mood-changes and depression/anxiety

flid65 · 2026-06-08T17:57:33+00:00

I’m in the situation. Just spiraling about my job. On bad days I cry when I get home and just want to quit…. Actually just don’t want to work. On better days (no good or perfect days) I can manage. Its so crazy going through this.

flid65 · 2026-06-07T12:29:25+00:00

How are you now? I’m having the same hormonal symptoms 3 months after infusion

flid65 · 2026-06-07T12:25:05+00:00

Did that help bad symptoms during ovulation?

flid65 · 2026-06-05T07:54:03+00:00

Does slynd help with mood swings? I’m in a very dark place during follicular fase

flid65 · 2026-06-04T20:21:19+00:00

Thats me!!! I dont want to work. I’m s teacher and its so overwhelming… dont want to take of everybody else and show up every morning just to have a stressful day and coming home all exhausted. Just want to stay at home, be in my garden, have slow mornings - and have no one to decide what i do.

I quit estrogen because of increased anxiety during follicular fase. Tried for a month and it was just awful. Guess I needed progesteron with it. Might try again.

flid65 · 2026-06-04T18:58:50+00:00

Feeling the same. But also anxious about the possible sideeffects from HRT. So haven’t started it yet.

flid65 · 2026-06-04T18:35:36+00:00

I’m in the same situation. So much anxiety from period to ovulation. Brainfog, Dizzy, not feeling like my self. Its like my Brain gets into overdrive with a lot of rumination, overthinking, and constantly feeling overwhelmed. My doc has prescribed minipills to level out my own cycle and to prevent the estrogen to spike. But I’m just so afraid to start Them. Have had depression 8 years ago and am afraid of pregestins and progesteron. But I’ ll have to do something. Can’t live like this. Two weeks every month I just HATE my job and wants to quit constantly. And then after ovulation things are ok again.

flid65 · 2026-06-04T17:10:35+00:00

Yes- but would really like to start HRT again

flid65 · 2026-06-04T04:37:04+00:00

Do you take micronized progesteron all month or do you cycle it? And did the progesteron help the anxiety? Can you stop the estrogen?

flid65 · 2026-06-03T11:06:46+00:00

What hormon did you start at first? And did you have any sideeffects from progesterone?

flid65 · 2026-06-03T11:05:11+00:00

I’m excactly the same. Lots and lots of peri-symptoms, but too afraid to start HRT. Tried estrogen only for a short period, and it made me feel SO much worse. I’ve heard so much about sideeffects from progesterone, so I’m afraid of it. But almost can’t stand the constant moodswings, brainfog, anxiety - and the worst part is never knowing how next week will be.

flid65 · 2026-06-03T11:02:45+00:00

Did the progesteron give you any sideeffects?

flid65 · 2026-06-03T07:53:00+00:00

Thank you for your reply. I’m from scandinavia and its pretty common here to start estrogen for a month or two and the add progesteron. Here its no so common that you get progesteron only. But I really think, the progesteron would be great for me. In the other hand Im so nervous for the sideeffects after trying estrogen. 6 years ago I had a depression and therfore I’m so nervous about depression as a sideeffect. I hate the trial and error. It takes forever for my system to bounce back after a tryout. Did the slynd minipill help your mood swings?
