Tried

Dydrogesterone

I gave Dydrogesterone a fair trial for my brain fog and fatigue. Some improvement in anxiety eased somewhat but my mood was still up and down persisted. Might try something different.

Dydrogesterone has been a genuine turning point for my sleep disruption and joint pain. I noticed I felt a bit more like myself fairly quickly. the difference was remarkable over the following weeks. I'd recommend discussing it with your GP.

Tried

Dydrogesterone

I was sceptical about Dydrogesterone but desperate with my heavy periods and exhaustion. I noticed a subtle improvement. By week 10, the improvement was really noticeable. Best decision I made for my health.
