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?
A bit late to the party but I wanted to add my experience to the pool: I also felt pretty tired at the start of HRT. For me, it started after 2-3 months and stopped at the 6 month mark, I think. During that period, I regularly had problems staying awake during afternoon lectures in uni, something I never had problems with before. I considered that my T was too low during that time but as the fatigue went away after a bit, I never changed anything about my medication. I think overall my energy levels now still might be a bit lower than before medical transition but I blame that on puberty and minority stress. And it’s not too much, maybe 10%.
More coffee helped. :)
