Change in bowel with HRT?

Has anyone else experienced going from having totally normal and regular daily bowel habits to being constipated all the time and when you do finally go to the bathroom (sometimes after 3-4 days) it never seems like enough, stools are loose or skinny, etc.? I increased my estrogen patch from .75 to 1 in November and then in December increased my progesterone from 100 to 200. I’ve read that hormones can affect your bowels until your body adjusts, but my body never adjusted and now I’m actually starting to worry about colon cancer. Has anyone else had a similar experience?
