You're not alone in this, I'm 6mo in and the emotional changes have been somewhat subtle. I cry more easily when i'm very stressed or when emotions are high, but my day to day hasn't changed much at all. I did wonder if it might be because my dosage needs to be upped but I don't actually know.
Yeah, possibly the dosage. I just realized thet the cryptic "4 patches/week" I got from the endo, could mean that I was supposed to take two patches at the same time.
what dose are the patches? wrt the emotional changes, it can vary from person to person. for me I was extremely emotionally repressed before starting hrt and I found it let me feel a much broader spectrum of emotions. but someone who started off in a position of being more in touch with their emotions might not notice such a drastic change.
Yeah I put a lot of effort into understanding my emotions, cause I had problems with short temper and such, and being aggressive makes me want to puke, so I took care to not get to that point.
I definitly felt more when I was a child though. I would actually become depressed after finishing a book, cause it was over and cry a lot. Hasn't happened in years.
you should put two on for the first half of the week and then remove them and put on the other two for the second half. don't worry about being down to the hour, just pick 2 days that split up the week roughly (my gfs do wednesday -> sunday) and change them on those days.
