Estradiol withdrawal symptoms
Common Questions and Answers about Estradiol withdrawal symptoms

I am 55 and went through menopause almost 5 years ago. I use a generic weekly estradiol patch (.1 mg) and Prometrium (200 mg) every night due to extreme menopausal symptoms. I change my patch on Monday evenings. I bleed for several days beginning every other Monday. Could this be caused by the patch losing effectiveness before the week is up? Would switching to Vivelle Dot, which has a twice a week schedule, help prevent the bleeding?
I never had these particular symptoms (I took Lupron and am still on Estradiol post IVF) but I have read that these symptoms are pretty common and I was honestly expecting them. I believe they will go away, since the symptoms I personally had with Lupron in particular (horrible, horrible bloating) eventually did go away. I've got nausea now, but I think that's mostly due to the pregnancy. Take care, and hang in there!
I'm 44 and have had very sporadic periods for a couple of years. My last period was last July. I had a blood test a couple of weeks ago and my doctor has confirmed perimenopause. My fsh was 58 and my estradiol was 223. He said that explained why I had had any "normal" menopause symptoms and said it means I don't need to consider hrt yet. Having Googled it seems unusual for estradiol levels to still be so high. Does anyone know what it might mean?
) Basically, I have been on birth control for about a bit over one year. Every month, I had withdrawal bleeding during the placebo week: no pain, no premenstrual symptoms and 3 days max of very light bleeding (which considering I have PCOS has been a blessing). I take Yasminelle, which is a combined pill of drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol.
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.
I am 43... had a partial hysterectomy 10 years ago. I've been feeling the symptoms of menopause so had my levels checked. Total estrogen came back as 892 pg/ml. The doctor is telling me this is within normal limits of the lab that tested my blood. It sounds high to me and I cannot find any definite answers online. Any information is greatly appreciated as this has me worried. Thank you.
Period (or real withdrawal bleed) came 17 days after last active tablet. My question is, which of those was withdrawal bleed and what is the chance to get pregnant if I had unprotected intercourse during bleed in day 17,20 after last active tablet? Can I treat last bleed as first day of new cycle with real menstruation? When I was on qlaira (1 year) from last 3 months had no bleeding at all between wallets but def no pregnant. Now I am not sure when eventually my ovulation will occur.
Hi, everybody. My name's Kristin. I really, really hope someone here can help me. I'm terrified. I'm twenty-four, but for the last eight months or so, I've been having menopausal symptoms. My doctor had my FSH, LH, progesterone, and estradiol levels tested twice. Here are my results:
FSH
first test: 6.2
second test: 6.8
LH
first test: normal apparently, but I didn't see what exactly it was
second test: 7.
Also, sometimes if you are exercising frequently, you may be metabolizing the estradiol rather quickly, so keep a list of symptoms as they occur so that you can share this info with your doctor in case a dosing change has to be made.
You can check out my profile journal comments on 'bioidentical hormone' for information regarding resources as well as comments from others. I just posted there the other day.
20%). The results page says my estradiol is out of range. it says 10L with a range of 13-54 pg/mL. Does 10 Liters convert to 10,000 mL which is 185times the normal maximum range. I didn't have cortisol measured.
My Dr. said Testosterone was fine. He never mentioned anything about the estradiol level. He suggested I had depression. I've had chronic anxiety but don't feel depressed. We've tried a few SNRI's. It's been 2 1/2 months since tests results.
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.
I did a 5day blast transfer and was confirmed pregnant last wk. I'm at week 5 and had a throbbing pain on my right side lower ab for a day then dissapear. I did not have any spotting. I'm doing prgesterone injection, and estradiol. I was told to wait until my next HCG to know if I'm still pregnant. My question is could I have already miscarriage but could not bleed because of the progesterone injection? If not, what was the pain about?
10. Doctor decided to run Estradiol level and thyroid tests to see if that was causing weight gain. Was wondering what you thought of these results
Estradiol on day 3 of cycle 23
T4 total 5.5 ref 6.1-12.2
T3 total0.8 ref 0.9-1.8
TSH 1.56 ref 0.34 5.60
Do you think thyroid or estrogen replacement is necessary? Thanks for the help hate running all these miles and not seeing a difference.
Normal day-2 estradiol, LH, and prolactin. Normal day-20 estradiol, progesterone, 17-OH progesterone LCMS, testosterone, and DHEA-Sulfate.
I don't know what to make of all this. Could I be entering perimenopause despite all my normal hormone results? Could this just be an age-related hormonal change that is not perimenopause? I feel like at 30, I'm too young to be experiencing all of these strange hormonal issues. Or maybe there is some underlying disease causing all of this?
Thanks, I don't know if I'm still pregnant and still have to do progesterone and estradiol shot until Sat. The unknown is killing me. I'll keep you updated.
Much worse then pms. Could this be a side effect of the estradiol, or could it be pregnancy effects. I go for a pregnancy test on 2/25. When I called and asked my dr. about these side effects I was told it is just a reaction to all the hormones inside my body, and that my progesterone level was excellent# to hold a pregnancy. Was told to take tylenol, but it does nothing. Has anyone else taken estradiol after in iui and experiences these reactions?
The period was light, but I had just had my normal flow two weeks prior while just taking the estrogen. Also, after bleeding from progesterone withdrawal, will I ovulate normally as if I had just had a regular period. I appreciate any answers anyone can provide. Thanks!
g. Estradiol 141 pg/ml to 40pg/ml last fall) so they started me on BHRT at the 40 level...with 0.5mg Estradiol it fell even lower to 27pg/ml as per my labs last week. They want to increase me to 1mg Estradiol now.
I do know Estradiol is not static so these are snapshots. I did start having periods again for 4 months this year so my body isn't done yet. So my thyroid seems to have gotten worse with (likely) diminishing Estradiol production.
All serum levels in my basic chemistry panel, CBC plus differential, thyroid panel, and urine analysis were normal except my estradiol. It was 84 with a lab range with an upper limit of 54. My testosterone was normal at 630 and my DHEA was normal at 265. I am thin and I have no masses on the testicles that can be felt. But, i am nervous about the elevated estradiol. My doctor seems not alarmed and will be repeating the test.
I am on 200 mg prometrium /5 mg estradiol, and metformin as well as tirosint. The prometrium and estradiol is for hot flashes. The metformin for prediabetes, couldn't get my a1c down, and tirosint for thyroid disease. My question is this...the prometrium and estradiol are causing my blood sugars to stay high, as well as make me very tired, as well as making me gain weight. I walk briskly at least 1 hour to 1 1/2 hour daily. I watch what I eat, low sugars, etc.
