    hi-

    im on hrt (estradiol patch and progesterone by vaginal route) testosterone 2x year for 1.5 years

    it does not help me with my severe menopause, except for bone health (my hope anyway?). So i continue with using it, but I see no relief of symptoms. I lost most of my repro system last year (surgery for massive ovarian tumor), and had almost no hormones afterwards. Perhaps in a bit of time you will find hrt balances you.

    I'm feeling the same. Been on hrt for a week and very tender. It feels like the early stages of pregnancy, slightly bloated, very sensitive uterus and nauseous. Hoping it settles down!
