Sounds like a symptom of too much estrogen to me, in other words, estrogen dominance. You need to get off the synthetic and take a good, bio-identical hormone cream, a compounding pharmacist can make this up for you once the doc prescribes it. You can also use a good, over the counter cream, I am talking about Progesterone by the way, it will help to alleviate the estrogen dominance and get those hormones back in balance.
Two of the combipatches are synthetic...one because both the estrogen and the progesterone (more accurately in this case called "progestin) is synthetic. And, then there is another combipatch that is estrodial (a bio) and yet they put in the progestin...not sure why they would want to mess up a good patch, but that is my opinion.
You can patent a synthetic and you cannot patent a bioidentical.
I have never tried natural hormones or synthetic hormones, and I'm going through menopause now. I experience extreme irritability, but not anxiety in particular. Because of the potential side-effects of any hormone "bioidentical" or otherwise I choose to just take the natural route. I know that physicians would disagree with my choice, but for me personally, I just think that when the body says "I'm on a new journey" we should listen to what our bodies say.
My dr explained to me that basically Follistim is basically a synthetic FSH and although most women respond fine to the synthetic stuff, my body doesn't. Menopur is actually natural FSH derived from nun's urine (weird, i know) but using that natural FSH is what my body needs. Maybe your body is fine with the synthetic follistim and doesn't need the other stuff. Since this is your 2nd ivf - what was your first protocol and how many eggs did you get etc?
Second, something might be going on with your estrogen levels. Stay hydrated. Drinking six to eight glasses of water a day will help keep your tissues moist, including those below the belt. Many women achieve instant relief simply by using a lubricant. There are at least half a dozen of these on drugstore shelves. You may need to experiment to find one that works best for you. Avoid personal hygiene sprays. Chemicals in these products can be irritating to delicate tissues that line the vagina.
You must have swings of hormones due to the surgery - it just not possible to NOT have that. Only estrogen in the form you have it - can sometimes cause more issues. You may want to look at a hormone journal I wrote on my profile if you are interested in that.
Is there a possibility of you going to a doctor that has correct knowledge in reading your female hormone panel of testosterone - progesterone and estorgen/estradiol?
What type of hormones are you taking? Are you on Premarin? Or on any other synthetic hormones? Or on the vaginal ring? or the Vivelle patch? Estratest? Bioidentical Progesterone? And, what about testosterone, either gel or cream, which we women can use "off-label" but some formulas can be put on the cliteral/genital area and work wonders regarding the issue you mentioned.
Hi! Did your dr. check you to make sure you are low in estrogen??? My first dr. gave me premarin ( not bioidentical-synthetic) and I thought I would go crazy. She never checked my levels prior. New dr. checked me, I am estrogen dominant, so that is why I felt so bad. and extremely low in progesterone. I am now on low dose of bioidentical progesterone, feeling somewhat better. I just had my levels rechecked after 6 months due to change in symtoms ( lots of hot flashes).
Hot flashes and night sweats
Irritability, mood swings and depression
Loss of libido and energy
Trouble sleeping
Urinary incontinence
Vaginal dryness
Weight gain (especially in the abdomen, hips and thighs)
I am 54 and was thrown into surgical menopause 20 years ago. I used synthetic estrogen for 16 years. I tried to get off of it and wow did I get hit hard with menopause symptoms. So now I've been on bioidentical hormones for the last 4+ years.
I am not a doctor.... so, I hope you hear me in that the script the doc has in mind for you may be your only way to solve the issue (or at least try) but again, I would look at alllllll options. You may be told that you could use either type (bio or synthetic) and that there is no difference between the two, but I would strongly beg to differ.
I have no idea what the doctor will say, but I would encourage you to do some research on this so you can ask about options.
You have to remember you are taking synthetic hormones which messes up your bodies natural production of estrogen and progesterone. You are keeping you body regular with the use of synthetic hormones to prevent a preganancy and when you go off the pill your body has to adjust and start producing the right amounts of estrogen and progesterone. This is very common when coming off of the pill.
It sounds like you might be low in estrogen and I think having a baby can cause hormones to fluctuate. The dry scalp fits with low estrogen and so do the night sweats, but I don't really know about the swollen lymph node. A lot of women suffer through these kind of symptoms but if you don't have to why do it? I'm on treatment for both estrogen and progesterone (I'm perimenopausal) and it helps tremendously. I use bioidentical estrogen which is much safer than the synthetic type.
They begrudgingly gave me an order for 9 days after the d3 transfer. My estrogen had dropped to a 96 by that day. A nurse from my clinic called me in a panic and told me to increase my estrogen dose to 3 times day.
I'm pretty sure based on my symptoms I started to get pregnant and then I had a lot of cramping day 8 & 9 post d3 transfer....after that pregnancy symptoms were gone. After my confirmed fail, I asked the doctor if my estrogen levels were low.
t, appears you have many clear signs of estrogen dominance. I believe estrogen to progesterone should be 2:1 (according to more naturopath MDs) and that is what I strive for, but definitely get many of the symptoms you list above when my estrogen gets too high. Saw 3 traditional OBGYNs + 2 internists who were of no help to me and their primary solution was BCP then finally got relief from a preventative medicine MD.
Natural progesterone is different from the synthetic hormones. It doesn't cause the side effects that are prominent with synthetic hormones. There are ways to replace both estrogen and progesterone naturally. I know that doctors use to give only estrogen which is unsafe when not balanced by progesterone.
As far as the Trazadone-it did the complete opposite to me - Instead of sleepy, I was wide awake and it made my burning pain worse. What did Lyrica do for you?
There is a med.
And since we most likely have too much estrogen in our bodies, adding to it with synthetic stuff is like adding fuel to the fire.
All I've read so far points towards that they're finding out more and more it's the low/no progesterone that makes us women miserable. Add some thyroid problems to the mix and life's just terrible.
Your thyroid test looks pretty good, maybe someone else here can tell you if some of them look suspect.
Menopause is a difficult time. Deficiency of estrogen hormone results in several types of problems. Low estrogen levels are known to be associated with asthma like problems and allergies. You can read this article to gain further insight: http://www.onlineallergycenter.com/treatments/hormone_imbalance.htm
What is important is to realize that a low estrogen in some causes a lot of strain on adrenal glands to produce cortisol. This too gets exhausted with time. Thus allergies develop.
