Hello, I had an Oophorectomy procedure in April 2024. I have been on HRT consisting of estrogen and progesterone to protect my existing uterus. I have been feeling sick ever since the procedure. Nausea, severe brain fog, coughing, itching, shortness of breath, and flu-like symptoms. I noticed that micronized progesterone sets these symptoms off about 2 hours after taking it. I have tried other forms of progestins, including medroxyprogesterone and norethindrone. The itching and coughing isn’t as severe, but I still get what seems like allergic reactions. I would try an IUD, but I’m 57 and don’t feel like changing an IUD out every 5-8 years would be appropriate at my age. Are there any other options that would reduce the chances of the uterine lining building up? Thank you for any help. The doctors that I have talked to do not seem to know that progesterone/progestins can cause a histamine reaction in some people.
