Ive been taking hrt (elleste duet combi) for just over 2 weeks but I have started to feel very low, miserable, grouchy and short tempered. I am tempted to stop the hrt but maybe i should persevere for a bit longer as i dont feel that i have given it enough time. On the other hand I hate feeling so down and as if I'm going to blow a fuse any second. Any advice welcome.

Since having a hysterectomy, I no longer need progesterone, which is great 'cos I had such terrible problems when I used it.
I use testosterone on alternate days - this really helps my mood, and also sorts out my chronic headaches. If I forget for a couple of days, I can feel the depression creeping in again, and headaches starting up.
I've had lots of problems with HRT and have tried lots of different forms of HRT - they do seem to have different sets of 'side effects', for me anyhow. Currently I have an estrogen implant, use testosterone on alternate days and use vagifem regularly. I'm trying to figure out whether my estro is still a bit low, or whether my fluctuating hypo-thyroid is causing leg cramps/ tremors etc.

I have been also taking Elleste duet combo for four weeks now, just finished my first packet. My hot flushes have gone, not had one for a week now. I sleep really well, less tired these days. I had a breakthrough bleed just before I completed the green pills and then had a period with serious bloating! My stomach is normally flat and it doubled in size for two days now better and period gone. Back to your point though yesterday which was last day of a green tablet I was in such a bad mood, felt angry and emotional but better today. My GP warned me about this and said it would all settle down after three months so will keep going. Hope that is useful
