Title: Started Today
Post by: ErinOhio on January 02, 2015, 05:15:13 PM
Woo Hoo! I started my hormones today!  EXCITED!

The endo has me on Estradiol and Medroxyprogesteron to start.  She says we may add Spiro in a couple of months depending on progress.

Now I just need to calm down enough to get sleep tonight, I have an early day of work tomorrow.

Congratulations!

That said, you mentioned sleep... sometimes a hormonal 180 can cause sleep problems. I had it when I started but I quickly returned to normal. But your doctor should give you advice on what to do.

If you experience depression/anxiety or irritability, please let your doctor know as medroxyprogesterone acetate may sometimes cause this in some. More suitable in my opinion is bio-identical progesterone due to a better side-effect profile BUT she is the doctor, I am NOT. Congrats and all the best though, hopefully all will go well. :)
