HRT Diary - Day 7

 Feel a bit spaced out today and a little like my heart is racing. But that could happen normally.... 

Pimples have gone down.

Eyes very dry, but had heating on.

Lenzetto application

Weirdly despite there being instructions (side effects) in the Lenzetto box the size of a small house.  Which I have to say despite spending 6 months studying the effects and side effects of the new modern HRT. Still scared the living out of me and made me procrastinate for another day. I couldn't find anywhere in there, or on web as to when in cycle you start taking the Lenzetto. Nothing in my Newson Health instructions either.  So I took this as it didn't matter. They are very clear when you need to take the Utrogestan. I also assume that most people who start it aren't in a cycle? I had just started my period, then I procrastinated for 2 days. A little bit as mentioned above and because I had heard of someone actually dying from blood clots with the Astrazeneca vaccine (awful). Which made me question if I should wait until after I have had the 2nd vaccine in 4 weeks time. Zzzzz Then I spoke to my husband who said 'You've made your decision, you are not at risk, j...

HRT Diary - Day 26 - Positive - No Night Sweats

 So now nearly a month of HRT. I don't believe I've had any side effects yet. In fact at this stage of the cycle, despite thinking last week I had cramps, I didn't. I am having very little hints that I would be due on soon. Which is how I would have been a few years ago. No breast tenderness, no PMT, no stomach cramps nothing at all. Maybe a slight bloatedness... What is noticeable is no night sweats at the moment. Especially as yesterday I did go into London and have a couple of glasses of wine and a cocktail (albeit a small one). Even so, I would be expecting to have them by now anyway and absolutely after even just one glass of wine. Still getting out of bed being able to walk. I also went for a 10km walk on Sunday with absolutely no aching muscles after.  Even when I was at the peak of my running. My muscles were always tired and achy after a walk.

HRT Diary - Day 27 -- *symptom Brain Fog

 Took my last dose of Utrogestan last night. Feel good in every other way.  But would say I'm noticeably more forgetful/absent minded today and yesterday. Again this would be normal at this time in my cycle. I want to keep a note of this as potentially this is when I would do two pumps of the Lenzetto and need to work out the timings so I can be proactive. Not that I can really do two pumps... as according to my NHS app, despite the dosage saying 1-3 pumps per day. The NHS App ordering is only allowing me to order as if I was doing 1 a day and there are 56 doses in an applicator.... wrinkles to be ironed out... As far as the brain fog goes generally. I wouldn't say I have been bad. But, wouldn't say there has been an improvement either. Hence looking to see if the two pumps makes an improvement.  If not I would be looking at taking testosterone. I think I'll carry on with the 1 pump and try and see more of a cycle.
