What women reported
4 self-reported experiences with Combined HRT for sleep
Tried
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.
