It's not uncommon for women starting HRT for the first time to experience a temporary worsening of symptoms, particularly within the first week or two.

During this adjustment period, maintaining proper nutrition, optimizing sleep hygiene, and staying well-hydrated can can help your body to acclimate to the hormones.

As your body adjusts, symptoms should gradually improve. However, if symptoms persist or worsen beyond three weeks, please consult your physician through the Patient Portal.
