Did anyone else feel lethargic after starting hrt? I'm on estrogen transdermal patch only & I do feel more lethargic than I did before starting

Definitely happened to me. I kept my endo in the loop, but otherwise I'm just having to deal with it.

I experienced the opposite; like being supercharged everyday. It's kind of weird how this effects people differently in so many ways.

Maybe you're not taking enough estrogen to compensate for the lack of androgen...
