HRT Diary - Day 21 - Positive - muscle stiffness gone

 So my main notice today is that when I get out of bed in the morning I am no longer stiff at all. For a long while now (about 2 years if not more) I have hobbled out of bed and probably takes me 15-20 steps to be able to walk properly. It no longer does. I now just get out of bed and walk! add this to the arms over my head thing which seemed to happen on about day 2 or 3. Tummy is just started to feel a little bloated and periody. Which would be normal for me at this time in my cycle with the odd cramp. I have another 6 days of Utrogestan to take. I assume I start bleeding a couple of days later? Apart from that.  All good!!

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.
