Avatar f tn Did you ever find out why you were itching? I don't itch on Estradiol tablets but I have been using an Estrogen cream in and around my vagina and it is causing burning and itching that is driving me crazy!!! My doctor tells me she has never heard of that kind of problem. I hope you have solved your problem.
Avatar f tn Ask him about using a vaginal estrogen cream instead of a pill. Or even about using the estradiol vaginally.
Avatar f tn How do I tell what is surgical menopause and what is a reaction to the patch/ Cream bioidentical estradiol? How do I tell what a hot flash is versus when I have a 99 degree temp? I have tried every dosage down to .375 and still cant handle it..tried .1 for a week felt like I was going to have a stroke. .5 totally unbearable. What can I do??? I feel I am too young to not have replacement and yet replacement feels like its hurting my body.
7649183 tn?1393014236 Menostar (estradiol transdermal system) 14 mcg per day - each 3.25 cm2 system contains 1 mg of estradiol. Vivelle-Dot® (estradiol transdermal system), 0.025 mg/day - each 2.5 cm² system contains 0.39 mg of estradiol USP for nominal* delivery of 0.025 mg of estradiol per day. Since the Menostar patch is applied once/weekly and contains 1 mg of estradiol, then that's around .14 mg/day (the data says .014 mg/day). The Vivelle-dot is applied twice/weekly and contains .
Avatar f tn Start of my third week suppression, i was given a shot of gonal f for 225 ui for 5 days, after my lab test, estradiol is low and follicles are not present. dosage was increase to 375 ui for 3 days and still, estradiol is low and no follicles seen. doctor advised to cancel the ivf due to abandon cycle and try next cycle again with an increase dosge of 450ui. Why is it that my body is not responding to gonal f even though the dosage has been increased? Is there a problem?
Avatar f tn 2 mg soft capsules along with the same dosage of estradiol for next 9 days. She told me that I am suppose to get my periods within 3 to 7 days after I finish this medicine. Today is the 14th day but still I did not get my periods. I want to ask what can be the reason. I had PCOS problem 3 years back but now my periods were normal, I also had a history of a miscarriage and tubal pregnancy along with a successful pregnancy.

Avatar f tn Since your FT4/FT3 numbers have dropped over the last two years, why is the doctor reluctant to increase your dosage. Dosage is irrelevant, only the physiological effects are important. Seems the doctor should be wiling to get your FT4/FT3 back to prior levels. Also your D is a bit lower than recommended, which is 50 minimum. Your B12 is adequate, but your ferritin should be at least 100. Have you ever been tested for cortisol?
Avatar f tn I'm taking estrace 4 mg daily and have also taken estradiol before, and have not had a problem with vertigo. Why do you associate it with the estradiol? I thought positional vertigo had to do with little calcifications in the inner ear breaking off wherever they are attached and floating around. Do you think this comes from estrogen use? I had heard it came from something else.
Avatar f tn It was normal, mid range but I was and am on progesterone cream. No estradiol but it is likely high normal, and I will have higher end testosterone. Fyi I have had this hormone issue my whole life.
Avatar f tn its been my 4th gonal pen actually but im just confused about the outcome..yesterday ive got very low estradiol..considering im on my 9th shots and still no sore BBs,cramping..w/c is very confusing..bec with my previous cycle last oct when i took my very first shots-im getting this feelings of crampings/sore bbs..is it possible that i get different reactions but using the same injectibles/same dosage..im just curious up to now..
Avatar f tn just got my u/s and bloodwork and it came out that i have 2 tiny follies to watch over..but still low estradiol..im on Gonal f pen in preparation for my IUI this month i hope these follies will grow until friday..or else my RE will increase my GOnal f dosage from 75iu /day it will inc up to 100iu..huh! so expensive..any one experience this..pls give me more insights..if Gods permit this will be my first IUI..hoping this follies will grow enough for iui..
Avatar f tn the cream is fine, but if you are working with someone who likes to mix estradiol with estriol, that should be a big discussion. Estradiol is now the preferred estrogen. Much of the hoopla around Estriol years ago has died down. I did not do well on it when I tried it in Bi-est (two estrogens in bio form... estradiol and estriol).
2002523 tn?1327612787 I've been on a 91-day pill for a couple of months now. I'm 42 and started the pill to help regulate my heavy periods, shrink my uterus and possibly manage my polyps. After the first four weeks, my period couldn't be suppressed, showed up with a vengence and I think I'm on the other side of the massive bleeding and tissue breakdown. My gyn instructed me to double my pills (twice daily) until the bleeding stops completely. I've been on the double dosage for close to five weeks.
Avatar f tn I started that on Friday morning.I am also on 1 mg estradiol vaginal inserts 3x a week. I am not waking up and then sweating but I wake up and get warm and clammy. Its very frustrating but noone else has had any ideas on what is the cause. My previous hormone specialist prescribed a vaginal cream of estrogen/progesterone and testosterone.
Avatar m tn SRI drugs are not real mental health treatments, except at a very low dosage; otherwise they cause more harm than benefit to mental health. Depression can and should be treated with over-the-counter soluble magnesium (which blocks the NMDA receptors that create the sensation of depression) and/or bupropion (a dopamine reuptake inhibitor), whereas OCD can and should be treated with the glutamate release inhibitor riluzole.
Avatar f tn My doctor mentioned that while in menopause, it is common to need more thyroid hormone replacement since I have no thyroid to compensate. Since I am taking estradiol and progesterone and seem to be doing much better since it was adjusted three weeks ago, could I possibly need less armour than I did before?
Avatar f tn That's interesting. I wouldn't think that estrogen (estriol or estradiol) cream would cause most of those symptoms. However, it could affect your menstrual cycle.
Avatar f tn This was my first IVF cycle but my ovaries did not respond well at all to Gonal F 225 IUs and my Estradiol level was 41 on my 5th day. So the doctor increased Gonal F to 300 IUs and my Estradiol level increased on my 10th day to 192, but I still only had 3 follies. :( He cancelled this cycle of IVF and wants to go with IUI instead. The chances are slimmer but I do have 3 follies and just maybe one of my hubby's lil soldiers will penetrate one of my stubborn lil eggs.
988694 tn?1332359479 He does not believe in that, and he order some to tests. I went for estradiol test which is 78. Not sure if my estrogen is too low. I will have progesterone test in one more week. My FSH is 8.3 . Anybody experiencing something similar? is my estrogen too low for an ovulating woman? should I go into hormonal replacement (bioidentical)? any input will be appreciated. Thanks.
17008026 tn?1453000615 Hi! During the last six months my weight has increased from ~135 (60 kg) to almost 175 (80kg) pounds. This happens even though my general level of exercise has increased and I just eat approximately 1300-1500 calories a day. I would have asked my doctor about this but he's not very accessible at the moment, and I'm not sure if this is the right place to get an answer to this type of question.
4128244 tn?1350073611 I've read somewhere that estradiol (I'm on the patch) can increase your T4. Has anyone else heard this? Also, that time of day and fasting can affect TSH. I'm going for TSH, FT4, and FT3 tomorrow. Thanks!
Avatar f tn I think it was causing depressiont too. I have been on bio-identical hormones for a few years - progesterone cream and DHA cream - and have done fine. I had osteoporosis before the hormone creams but have now reversed it. (still have low bone mass though). I'm worried that the hot-flashes and osteoporosis might recur if I don't take the estrogen. . . but I don't know if I can handle the side-effects of it. Any suggestions out there?
709441 tn?1233340088 I use Vivelle Estradiol... climara is good, too. Newer research indicates that Estradiol (the kind of estrogen we had pumping through us in our 20's) is the only way to go. The book I mentioned a thousand times has been the most helpful to me. "Screaming to be Heard" by Dr. Elizabeth Lee Vliet is an amazing (and huge) book. Don't let it overwhelm you. You have to do the reseach on this stuff or it will get the better of you.
Avatar n tn t see any measurable follies until day 7 or so of that cycle. Ended up with one egg that cycle and estradiol level of 250 something. That was a bust cycle. This cycle (only my second one on Follistim) he started me at 150iu a night and BOY did I respond. I have one bad tube so we were only looking at what the good side was doing anyway :) But my estradiol never went down - in either case. They don't seem to be stimming you well at all.
Avatar m tn It has to have progesterone in that list (converted from Wild Yams is acceptable). The usual dosage is 1/4 to 1/2 tsps rubbed into a fatty tissue area (like underside of arms, breast area or thighs or belly region) twice a day. Follow manufacturer's/package instructions. Do a search on Estrogen Dominance Symptoms and you may find your wife saying, "yes, yes, yes" to a lot of the symptoms.
1651832 tn?1301690605 I switched back immediately to the other dosage. But eventually I left the Bi-est to go back to the Patch of Estradiol that I'd been on from 2000 - 2003. And, I'm glad I switched back. I currently use the "Vivelle" patch. I may some day have to switch to a sublingual tablet of bioidentical Estrace which would bypass the liver and has been well-tolerated by some women I know.
Avatar f tn hi I'm 60 gone thru menopause and now I'm trying to find a safe hormones to use. I was prescribed Medroxypr AC 2.5mg also Estradiol 0.5 mg are these safe I'm also on Armour thyroid does anyone know if it will conflict with it?
