Feeling wired on progesterone? Temporary side effect?
I started hrt 2 weeks ago. Estrogen patch .0375 & 100 mg micronized progesterone. Lat friday my dr checked in to see how it was going, told her my night sweats are better but anxiety & insomnia have not been not touched at all. She raised my P dose up to 200mg, i feel wired still, i felt this also at 100mg. Im tossing and turning till 3 is am and waking up at 6 ish. I have always struggled with insomnia but this feels a bit worse with the P. Will this pass with time? I have a good sleep routine. Im doing all the right things. I know my body needs time to settle with hrt, but i also need to sleep! Im going to email my dr but looking for experiences from others! Any tips? Hoping this is a temporary side effect 🤞🏻
