estradiol menopause

s a fairly normal level of estradiol pre-menopause. the FSH is elevated but not nearly as high as it might be in menopause. I'm still not yet through to the other side of menopause with estradiol at <10 and my FSH around 90. You are in the age range to have perimeno symptoms. These can fluctuate a LOT. You could all of a sudden begin getting regular periods again, keep having them be spaced out or anything inbetween.

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.

m-in-menopause- an FSH consistently over 30 means you are in menopause. With your FSH so high I would think that you are in menopause even if you only had the one test. If you are on any hormones those can skew the tests but I would think they'd show a lower FSH than without hormones.

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.

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.

hello! I am a 30 year old recently diagnosed with PCOS. I have been feeling like garbage recently and have not been able to find a doctor who can help. I recently went through my lab results from September and see my Estradiol is <5.00 pg/mL. I am also on Lo Loestrin. Can the birth control be causing the very low numbers, my PCOS, something else? The numbers are those of someone in menopause, so it is a bit concerning. Any insight is appreciated!

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?

Now when I get them, I take note of it since it tells me that I may need to either increase my dose of estradiol or that I need to change my estradiol patch sooner... (I use the Vivelle patch.. a bioidentical estradiol transdermal patch). Years ago I had all of this checked out by a Cardiac doctor who told me I had benign tacycardia, but we did not discuss how ovarian levels of estradiol affects our heart and how palpatations can occur when things are not at optimal levels.

But here in the UK an estradiol of 23 on day 3 of your cycle shows you are past perimenopause, and either in menopause or post-menopausal. I myself am undergoing a premature early menopause and my estriadiol is the same. Also it would be useful if you could let me know what your FSH was, as this is the main indicator for menopause assessment. An FSH of above 25 on day 3 shows menopause, the higher the figure, the more into the menopause you are. Mine is currently at 60!

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: 7.9 Estradiol first test: not sure, but normal apparently second test: 52 I'm a little concerned about the estradiol. A few sources I've checked online have said that an estradiol level of above 50 can mask a high FSH. Is this true?

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.

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 .

I had a complete hysterectomy at 24 and thus have entered menopause. I am now 33 and having all kinds of crazy symptoms. My doctor has me on Estradial and I have been on it since my hysterectomy. In the last year, I would say that the symptoms including hot flashes, have been unbearable at times and have been more frequently and more severly. He has increased the dosage since and where the hot flashes are subsiding, the mood swings are now way out of control.

My daughter (13yo) has been having heavy and long periods. She went to see the dr (in China) and they gave her Femoston. All I can find about this when I search is for older women & Menopause. I am worried about giving her it. Can anyone advise.

my gp who read out the numbers said you're not in menopause but either she didn't realize that the estradiol number is important in conjunction with the fsh, or she didn't look the the est number or.?????

I started having the usual symptoms of menopause about the same time I had my first migraine, Jan 4. 2003. I had never had a migraine until that day. Not one. My physicians told me over and over that the migraines are not related to the hyster.. I can't really see how that's possible. Many of the menop. symptoms have lessened but the migraines are as strong as ever. I take Femtrace as a hormone replacement.

I have been taking estradiol for 6 years and more recently bi-est. three months ago I had Pnemonia and even with using bi -est, I am having hot flashes and night sweats which has never happened to me on a constant basis. My husband thinks the pnemunia/fever rearranged my hormones and it will take awhile for them to settle down. I am 57 and was pretty stable on the bi-est. has this ever happened to anyone else?? Thx!

I have been going thru menopause for 1 1/2 yrs, I was put om premilin .

Your symptoms could be an indication that you are going into menopause or that your ovary is failing completely. The ovaries of women who are in natural menopause produce hormones up to at least age 80. Hysterectomy can cause an earlier menopause or complete ovarian failure. Having your hormone levels checked may be helpful (estradiol and FSH). Estrogen deficiency is associated with a number of increased health risks along with some debilitating symptoms.

they say our ovaries drip estradiol for years after menopause (although many women choose to supplement anyway so that there is an optimal amount of estradiol for optimal health. The fat cells and adrenals take over during menopause if you're not supplementing with Estradiol and it makes a byproduct called Estrone (E3) which is considered the menopausal estrogen. It is considered a bit harsh and in some studies has been implicated in breast cancer ("Screaming to be Heard" by Dr.

Previous to that my OB/GYN diagnosed me with low estrogen. My estradiol level was 42. When my endo doc ran the TPO antibody test he also checked my testosterone levels and they have come back high. Does the thyroid cause all these other imbalances as well? My endo suggested peri menopause because of the Hashimoto's and I have all the symptoms but afraid that it is just the thyroid messing everything up.

Hi. How old are you? Are you post-menopausal? Exemestane (Aromasin) and similar drugs called aromatase inhibitors, will only work with women who have already undergone menopause. If you're in the reproductive age group, Tamoxifen is still your primary option for hormonal treatment.

FSH 23.3 LH 8.3 Estradiol 56.7 Can anyone explain this to me? Thanks in advance.

should I keep my ovaries or ovary (becasue He stated that one was very small) or should I have them removed? The Doctor said that I would be going through menopause more then likely in a couple of years anyway and it would be safer to have them removed due to the chances of ovarian cancer. But I understand that if you keep them you do not need to go on hormone replacement. I am not sure what I should do? I know what my doctor thinks I should do!
