Hi,

The symptoms described by you can be due to the estrogenic factor, but sometimes progesterone of the hormone replacement therapy is also involved.

I would suggest you to discuss with your prescriber to adjust the dose or change the type of the regimen so as to come to appropriate treatment options.

Eating a low-fat, high-carbohydrate diet may reduce breast tenderness.

Also, I would recommend you to get your thyroid profile tested as it might be affected due to the estrogen of the therapy and can be a cause for you to feel tired.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
