Dose increase advise please

Hormone Therapy

Hello there. I’m thinking about requesting to increase my patch and would like some advice from others who have adjusted upwards. I have been on the 0.025 mg twice weekly estradiol patch 100mg progesterone for eight weeks. My sleep and anxiety have improved. However, my sleep is still broken and I feel emotionally dull in the mornings. I’m still getting occasional night sweats. I’m going to request that my patch is increased. I’m not sure if I should request the 0.0375 or the 0.05 patch. I’d be interested to hear what others think and what experiences you have. I am thinking I’d like to jump straight to 0.05 just because I can’t be bothered with making two appointments if 0.0375 is too low! But maybe I should just take the slow and steady approach. Any experiences and advice welcome.
