7649183 tn?1393014236 I take Vivelle-Dot lowest dose--.025. I feel fine, but my breasts are sore. They never were when taking the estradiol pill--.05/day. There's a patch available that states it has the lowest dose necessary to protect against osteoporosis (Menostar). I looked at the data, but it doesn't match with what they say the dosage is. Does anyone have any information about this (this is, does Menostar have a lower dosage than the patch I'm using)? Thanks!
Avatar n tn Hello, I have had menstrual migraines for over 30 years and as I get closer to menopause, things are getting worse. I had a hysterectomy last July and have been taking.25mg estradiol gel every night and when I first started taking it, it seemed like the headaches were not so bad. Now I am wondering if I should bump it up to .

Avatar f tn 5 grains before lunch, how will this affect my levels or should I go back to the lower dose and add only .25? Does splltting the dose affect how much you actually need to take?
Avatar n tn The title pretty much says it all! My estradiol dropped from 155 to 78 in two days...but in those two days 2 follicles on my right side grew from 10mm to 11mm. Why would my estradiol drop with growing follicles? My RE did up my Follistim dose.
689860 tn?1238718032 Be sure your doctor monitors your levels monthly including your estradiol (estrogen) levels. When your proper testosterone levels are achieved, continue to monitor your estradiol levels monthly for up to 6 months. If they rise too high, a drug that is normally used for females with breast cancer called Arimidex will take care of the problem. It neutralizes the enzyme that causes testosterone to aromatize into estrogen.
1134811 tn?1284550821 The change in cervical mucus I did not notice. However my doctor prescribed estradiol at the same time with my 150mg of Clomid. The estradiol helps to create more of the beneficial ewcm. I also did the 150mg of Clomid with no IUI. The side effects at this high of a dose were terrible for me though... Ugh!
Avatar n tn Does this mean it could be caused from ovarian cancer or are my labs just out of whack because of estradiol dose being too high??

Avatar f tn My gynecologist (my ex-gyn since my surgery) prescribed the highest dose Vivelle-Dot patch and it was a dismal failure. The only benefit was a well lubricated vagina yet I still had absolutely no desire for sex (still don't though). I swear every little bit of the patch's estrogen was going straight to my vagina and nowhere else!!
Avatar f tn t absorbing it which would imply that your symptoms are from the loss of your ovaries and not the estradiol itself. I am also on estradiol tablets but I don't take mine orally. I either insert them vaginally or let them dissolve between my cheek and gum (transbuccal). And I use a higher dose of 1mg. My Rx is for 2mg but since I don't take them orally / swallow (no first pass through the liver), I cut them in half and only take 1mg. The use of only 1/2 pill makes it dissolve faster too.
Avatar f tn I am taking Crinone gel for infertility, have been taking for 4 months days 17- end of cycle. I am also taking clomid and estradiol. I am currently on day 23 (7th day on crinone) of my cycle and have started having so very mild almost pinching cramps intermittently. They are not painful, but I was just wondering if anyone else has cramping with crinone, I am still about 8 days away from when I am supposed to start my period.
Avatar m tn estradiol, licorice root powder (which contains chemicals that mimic estradiol), super-high-dose inositol (12-to-18 grams per day), N-acetyl cysteine, high-dose niacin (do not eat it all at once, to avoid the sensation of burning skin), saint john's wort (aka SJW), bupropion (welbutrin), cyproheptadine, and anti-RLS drugs (including, but not limited to, ropinerole).
Avatar f tn I just took my second dose of the 50,000 IU vitamin d about 2 hours ago. I am starting to feel some additional joint pain and am just chalking it up to everything I have read (inflammation due to re-mineralization). I keep thinking the sooner I get past this point, the sooner to healing I hope. Did anyone tell their work? I am debating on doing this.
2002523 tn?1327612787 s my understanding that due to the double-dose (twice daily) of the Introvale, the excess estrogen (0.06 mg of ethinyl estradiol) caused something called Leukorrhea. In theory, it should balance back out as my body acclimates to what will be my regular pill. My doc changed my script to Briellyn (I start the pack today) so that only the progesterone portion will be more than doubled.

Avatar f tn My OB put me on Clomid, Estradiol and Prochieve 8% gel... I believe that the symptoms have progressed tremendously these last few days. Almost had to pull over on my way to work this morning. I'm only on CD 12; we start BD today! Good luck and much Baby Dust coming your way!
1493378 tn?1288707991 so, there's a tendency that my doctor will cancel this cycle? i'm so worried...tomorrow will be my follow-up check-up with my doctor, but i'm really so confused w/ this result. On my previous ivf treatment, ,my estradiol level was 21 pg/ml, and this cycle it's >20 pg/ml...what was your estradiol level when they cancelled your cycle?

Avatar n tn I'm going to double my dose. Your husband and I are in very similar situations. I'm 30, and have been on synthroid (.112) for 15 years. I began testosterone (testim 1%) 2 1/2 years ago. I have hoshimoto's thyroiditus, which I was told is what brought my Testosterone problem on. The doctors tell me my testosterone problem is idiopathic. Thats not good enough, I want to know exactly why Im taking this Testim. I recently had a change in testosterone and have felt very fatigued.
589713 tn?1255699571 ) I also could just tell by walking that things were not good there. Hard to explain. Once I got my dose of Estradiol increased and my script for localized Estrace (for vaginal use and it, too, is bio estradiol) then things improved dramatically. And, to be honest, prior to correcting this, it was not so much a problem for me as it was for him.
Avatar n tn You want to make sure you are at the optimal (I cannot repeat that enough) dose of estradiol before adding anything else. If one does not have a uterus there is usually not really a need to use progesterone but some women do use a tiny amount after making sure their estradiol is at the optimal dose (you'd need a blood test to determine that ... but in the range of 100 - 120 ng/ml (I will have to check on those initials.... cannot remember how it goes... ml/ng???...
