Hormone Replacement Therapy HRT 3rd day

[Meglen]

Hello ladies, for those of you who started HRT, were you anxious about starting? I slapped a patch on 2 days ago and I am bracing for the worst. I already have health anxiety and fear of medication side effects. I am also a smoker, (quit but picked it back up) and post menopausal. Any advice or reassurance would be great! I am feeling anxious, and every twinge is making me even more nervous. Just want to be back to myself

Hi
I was on HRT (patch) for about a year. I had no side effects. I didn't honestly find it all that beneficial to me but I had no nasty side effects. What is it you are particularly worried about?
