So I started HRT 6 weeks and it seems like, that the amount I have to sleephas skyrocketed since then. Before it was impossible for me to sleep more than 9-10h, now if nothing wakes me up I easily sleep 11-12h. If I wake up after 9h of sleep I feel like I barely slept at all and I get quite tired over the day. I know that this is an expected side effect of HRT (or puberty in general) but I did not expect for this to happen this fast. When did you started to get so tired?
Yeah, I’ve been obsessively reading everything I can about progesterone, and the matter of oral v rectal always comes up. I can’t deny the science, but like I say, I do what my doctor tells me. When I get my bloods done for my next appointment, she expects to see the levels resulting from 3 months of orally administered progesterone, and changing dose or ROA at this stage just makes it harder to analyse that data. Honestly I would find all of this easier to bear if I knew that it was adequately suppressing my T, and not converting into DHT, but I’m not convinced of either of these things. Anyway, just gotta make it to February, and I’ll ask for my doctor’s blessing to boof.
