It is probably the case that your natural levels of oestrogen have started to fall, regardless of the HRT dose.
Yes, you will probably need to increase the dose to counter the symptoms.
However, it is sensible to also consider the future - presumably at some point you will have to come off the HRT, and the sooner you do so, the sooner the menopause is over!
