It's possibly normal.

Remember you are doing a hormonal 180. Things are going to be disrupted, bigtime. If HRT is for you then that feeling should subside. There is also psychological effect. I know for me I had some of that because I knew what hormones would bring.

So give it some time, talk with your therapist and doctor to make sure you're OK.

And if you feel like harming yourself, please call a hotline right away, or check yourself into the ER.

Hi Lynette.

Yes, good advice from everyone here; you'll be on an emotional roller coaster.  Keep in contact with your doc and your therapist. 

In a couple of months you may feel your nipples really sore and what feels like a nodule behind your nipples that may very well scare the crap out of you.  Perfectly normal, so don't fret too much.  If you need to again call your doc just to be absolutely certain. 

Just remember, many changes are in store.  I cannot stress enough; if you feel really down be certain and call on of our hotlines here; promise?

Be safe, hun

Marlo

HRT can really throw your emotions out of whack. See your doc/endo/therapist if you are concerned. I just want to check that you are going though a medical professional, self medication is not a good idea.
