Has anyone taken HRT who had a terrible time with hormonal birth control? I had a horrible 5 years on the Mirena IUD - my doctor said I was probably sensitive to the progesterone.
June-July I started having my first bouts with hot flashes and insomnia. But then I cut out almost all caffeinated drinks and started using melatonin some and those seem to have gone away - though it also did get cooler so that could have helped too.
I do worry about bone loss some, and am intrigued with the estrogen benefits, but thus far any menopausal symptoms I’ve had are a cake walk compared to the years on the Mirena. Not just the awful physical issues, but also mental. I felt like I was going crazy and it was all I could do to keep my temper down and not snap.
