    Hi Michelle. As a recently new member to the perimeno & hrt club i have been monitioring my progress/symptoms since 1/4/16. I have only done 2mths so far on the hrt estrogen gel & progesterone tablets. i do notice roughly around days 10-16 of my 28 day cycles, my peri symptoms increase, but nowhere near as bad as before the hrt when they would be all over the place at random times of the month - lucky if i got a 5 days out of a month where i felt normal. so the hrt has definately "softened" the symptoms in general, but i still notice an increase as i mentioned. xx
