16 reports from women who tried Combined HRT
took progesterone capsule for first time, I planned for when I knew the following day I was not doing any driving, as the potential side effects are drowsiness, I took the tablet at 10pm and 'waited' to feel drowsy I was hoping it would help me sleep as I have lots of trouble sleeping now, however, I cant say it made much difference so not much of a side effect as I was actually hoping. This is listed on the packet as a common side effect
Combined HRT wasn't for me. After 12 weeks of trying, my insomnia and night waking were much the same. Moved on to something else.
Combined HRT has been a genuine turning point for my early morning waking. I noticed the worst of the symptoms eased fairly quickly. I felt significantly better over the following weeks. I'm glad I tried it.
Mixed feelings about Combined HRT. anxiety eased somewhat was noticeable, but sleep didn't improve much didn't really improve. Not sure if I'll continue long-term.
I've been using Combined HRT for about 8 weeks now for heavy periods and exhaustion. I felt a bit more like myself around week 3. the improvement was really noticeable. Still taking it and plan to continue.
Research context compiled from published sources
Combines the actions of oestrogen (alleviating menopausal symptoms, protecting bone) and progestogen (protecting the endometrium from oestrogen-driven hyperplasia). Sequential regimens produce a monthly bleed; continuous combined regimens aim for no bleed after an initial settling period.
Well Studied
Extensive human research over many years, including randomized controlled trials.
Well Characterized
Decades of long-term safety data available from human use.
Dose ranges from published research. Individual dosing should be determined with your healthcare provider based on your specific circumstances.
