Avatar f tn This same day, I started bio-identical hormone therapy in the form of estrogen and testosterone pellets. The blood tests also revealed I was hypothyroid. The Dr prescribed Armour thyroid, 1gr per day. I started gaining weight immediately. The first month after starting BRT, I gained 8 lbs. I was also extremely tired. I had another hormone blood panel done and it revealed I was still low in estrogen. The Dr inserted an estrogen “booster” pellet at this time.
Avatar f tn I've gotten the hormone replacement pellets three times prior to this last one, about 4 months apart. Wonderful outcomes with those, except for maybe the last 2-3 weeks before it was time to get reinserted, I really felt the absence to the hormones and decided I need to go with every 3 months, vs. 4 months. Well, after feeling very blah for a my usual time before the reinsert, I go to get it (very happily!) and wait for the good stuff to hit. And wait. And keep waiting.
Avatar f tn I had my first estradiol and testosterone implants and am taking progesterone pills at night. My hot flashes have stopped and my libido has improved some, but I'm bloated like I've never been before-even when I had regular periods. I always exercise and try to eat healthy most of the time-but I've gained 5lbs. over the month- and it's all "jelly-belly" fat. My appetite is ravenous!
894186 tn?1241478177 There are many varieties of localized estradiol now. I have used Estrace in the past (you use if initially for two weeks vaginally and then about three days a week after that) and I am about to start the Vagi-string, I think it is called. It is also Estradiol (make sure to ask for this and not a synthetic localized product...there is a huge difference). It is used in just that part of the body and will work to keep things moist and vital.
Avatar m tn Hi Bob and Angela, I had a hysterectomy 21 years ago with removal of ovaries. For the last 4 years, I've used bioidentical hormone pellets. These pellets are implanted under the skin of my hip. I get estrogen and testosterone. Estrogen for hot flashes, night sweats, dry skin, anxiety. moodiness. Testosterone for my sex drive. Prior to the pellets, I was on estrogen and managed those symptoms. For 16 years, I had little sex drive.
Avatar f tn Thanks all if this info is so helpful. The pellets are estrogen & testosterone pellets as I had a hysterectomy & thought I needed some replacement if those. I was due to gave more placed & because I had no improvement we ordered the hormone tests. I wanted tested b4 we started but was told no. Oh well I am not going to get more pellets & just work on the thyroid/Hashi's & if we get rinse numbers right then I think those should come in line by the sounds of the above info.
Avatar n tn I have been managed with testosterone pellets implanted every four months since age 58. I recently had my thyroid removed and am balancing the Synthroid doses to TSH. The surgery was at a low for pellets. Are there really any issues with t4 binding proteins,regulation of thyroid function, and testosterone pellets? Some sites posit a possible interaction others say no.
1687979 tn?1312888645 I found that my hcg source has sublingual pellets. Has anyone tried those? I'm very tempted since I'm always questioning my self if I gotten the right amount of drops or not.
Avatar f tn Can hormone pellets be removed? A friend had 50% estrogen, 50% testosterone pellets implanted about 5 months and again 1 month ago. She had a mammogram and biopsy in the last month showing breast cancer that is estrogen receptor +. She is perimenapausal and 50 years old.
Avatar f tn I have tried the creams and they too just made me itch. There is more to bioidentical hormones than creams, gels and patches. They also come in pellets that are implanted by a doctor under the skin on your hip. I'm 54 with a total hysterectomy 20 years ago. I've been through the gamut of hrt. I moved to AZ and in finding a new gyn, found a doctor going through menopause. She does bioidentical hormone pellets (and has them herself). They are implanted in my hip and last 3-4 months.
Avatar m tn when i was seven 5 to 6 years ago i put some lead pellets in my mouth i didnt eat any i they weren't in my mouth very long i read the warning label then spit them all out as fast as i could then spit in the sink like 5 times washed my mouth out and went on with my day the warning label says lead pellets contain a chemical known to the state of California to cause cancer and birth defects do nit inhale dust or put pellets in mouth!
Avatar m tn So we asked him if we can see what will happen when pellets will get wet. We did experiment right there. We poured water on the pellets and surely they started to expand significantly, even a few of them in the water made a mess so that choice was not for us considering that our cat would eat it. We chosen Dr. Elsey's Precious Cat Senior Litter (http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2754844) only because on the box says that it is safe even when ingested.
Avatar f tn Hi, I am concerned about the shape of my stool. It is thin pencil shaped pellets. Its been like that for a couple of years now. I have a problem of loose stool a few times a day since 12 years. It was bothersome but i wasn't in pain and the shape of stool was fine (when not loose). A couple of years ago, i developed yet another problem. I started getting cramps with sudden urgency to go. The cramps would subside after the bowel movement.
Avatar n tn smelling, yellowish, pellets come from my throat from time to time. these pellets gives bad breath for 1-3 weeks and pellet automaticallly remove wth cough. for 2-4 weeks no bad smell and after tht it starts again. please give me reasons and solution for this problem?
Avatar f tn I had my ovaries, uterus, and cervix removed in 2006. I use progesterone and testosterone pellets, oral progesterone and dhea, and Armour Thyroid. My levels were good and I heard maca works well with hrt to optimize it. I got severe acne on my chin and insomnia the month I took maca. I stopped and my breasts are deflating and I'm having hot flashes. The Maca is the only change. I feel like I did when my hormone levels were low. Have I blocked my receptors?
484508 tn?1290010544 I had been on Androgel for low testosterone, but it did nothing, so I started testosterone therapy replacement using pellets, a newer procedure. I am 65. After 7 days, I was hit with overwhelming anxiety, panic, the yawns. Today it is a bit better- Today is day 8. I had no idea that testosterone replacement could cause anxiety. I took the stuff because I had anxiety, that Celexa had done a tremendous job of helping. I had to take a Klonopin last night because I was so anxious.
Avatar f tn Has anyone does the HCG pellets? I've only ever used the homeopathic hcg in liquid before, was interested in the pellets, and where did you buy them? Thanks!
444379 tn?1205479992 Sauveur Ghozland specializes in. These bio-pellets are implanted under ur skin in the buttocks area and release within 72hrs and last up to 4months. EXPENSIVE...but worth it if they work and are safer than traditional HRT. Would LOVE some feedback before I make this decision. Thank u very Much!!
374593 tn?1257879950 I always thought that the estradiol was to make sure your lining was thick enough for implantation. Because I now the drugs like clomid can thin your lining making it impossible for the egg to implant. I could be wrong though.
Avatar f tn How long after a confirmed pregnancy are you suppose to continue taking Estradiol? Just read on the internet that it can cause birth defects and I can't reach my doctor to confirm this.
Avatar f tn thanks went to dr today she said it could also be constipation, sorry to say but her poo is like in pellets and the dr said if its pellets then they are constipated and that it should never be like that,,, she told me to get miralax..
Avatar m tn I've been pooping yellow pellets about an inch long. I've been taking 10 in One from GBG, and one of it's "side" effects is that it gets rid of fat. Perhaps this is the cause. but, I need an answer here, because I'm freaking out!
Avatar f tn So was mine for 16 years after my hysterectomy. You can get it back with Testosterone and estrogen. I did and it's better than ever! I believe in quality of life and my quality of life is incredible once I added the Testosterone to the estrogen. The method of delivery I chose are pellets inserted under the skin of my hip. It's done in my doctors office and takes about 10 minutes. Now I want and enjoy sex more than ever in my life!
Avatar f tn I've been taking natural progesterone (Progon B pellets,by Bezwecken) for the last 10 months and I've also tried their cream. For myself, I found that the pellets, which I let completely dissolve under my tongue works alot better than the cream to increase my progesterone levels. I've never had any side effects from this product and will continue to take it two weeks out of every month. God Bless.
