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. Hardly anyone needs extra estrogen, our bodies still make it even after menopause, just not as much, the progesterone will use what your body makes and help balance it out, there is no cancer risk with natural hormones either, with synthetic, that is a different story.
Maybe you could check a book on natural remedies -- I think I did see one specifically about natural remedies for menopause symptoms a while back. It kind of was tough to read (who wants to believe these things are really going to happen?) but it seems like I remember it talked about foods and supplements and stuff.
Thank you so much for the information. Unfortunately the lab did not break down my estrogen separately. From what you said, would you say my total estrogen is high? Should I get a second opinion or retest in a month?And is it safe for me to assume I'm far from menopause? Thanks for your time and help!! I'm a little lost and new to all this.
s because the estrogen level goes down at menopause, hence the estrogen no longer protects you as well against the virus...when some of these women supplemented with estrogen, they seemed to do better...oh well, I'll go look for it, some people are picky, come back later...lol....

Hi there! Not sure I'll be of any help, but when I was going through menopause 2 years ago (I'm 53 now), I definitely had dizzy spells and some light-headedness, which I was told can happen during menopause due to the lack of estrogen being produced. I would think that having one less ovary would mean you have less estrogen being produced? But I certainly don't know this so don't go on just what I say!
Your symptoms of stomach bloating, belching, gas are not typical symptoms of menopause. The risks of estrogen replacement in menopause are probably exaggerated by the media, but there are some risks - you should only use estrogen at the lowest effective dose, for the minimum amount of time, to get relief. You may want to try it out for awhile and see if you feel better.
I have been going thru menopause for 1 1/2 yrs, I was put om premilin .
I did have irregular periods due to a higher than average level of estrogen. I'm sure they did blood work that showed that? If not, that's easy to do. I also had thyroid issues and combined, those two factors made me have periods every 3 to 4 months! Such a pain that was! I was in my 20's though so wasn't worried about menopause like I would be now. For whatever reason, women with high levels of estrogen are MORE likely to have candida or yeast overgrowth.
However, a major theory is that too much estrogen for too long leads to the changes that causes breast cancer. A product like Estroven will in theory give your body a little more plant based estrogen but it is hard to say if it will have a significant affect on cancer risk. I personally don't think it does pose the same risk. However, the product is weaker than RX remedies and often doesn't provide relief over the long term. And...
I have been in surgical menopause for six years now. I have been using the estrogen patch (Vivelle dot .1) since my surgery and have had no problems with hot flashes. However, for the past 8 months I having been getting hot flashes every now and then. Is this normal? When I mentioned it to my doctor, he just said I was already taking the highest dose the patch comes in and didn't like the idea of me using the oral kind.
I would like to take estrogen to help the menopause symptoms still driving me crazy one year after surgery and chemo for ovarian cancer stage 2c - I also had a prophylactic bilateral mastectomy as I have a history of breast cancer in my family - I have heard the HRT can increase the incidence of OC but I am wondering if an estrogen patch would be safe as I have had my ovaries, uterus, tubes, cervix, and breasts removed surgically.
Id say as often or as few times as your insurance will pay or you feel up to getting poked,,,to be honest I only had mine done once I was avery very lucky woman because my instant menopause symptomes dissapeared shortly after I started bioidentical estrogen only,,,some women need other hormones some do not everyones anatomy and tolerance to symptoms is different...
