Common Questions and Answers about Hormone replacement pellets side effects

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.
I also think I am less healthy because of the effects of lack of hormones. I have tried to combat the side effects and did remain hormone free, but now I wonder if I made the right choice. I didn't anticipate having to deal with all of these other health issues so soon. Then again, maybe HRT wouldn't have made a difference. But, it sure does feel like a no win situation. It is hard to know which choice is bad and which one is worse.
I get estrogen and testosterone. My delivery method is different than yours. I get pellets implanted in my hip.
Every time I see my endo I constantly complain of many side effects. These effects include fatigue, weakness, WEIGHT GAIN of about 40 pounds, decreased sex drive, depression, and some memory loss. Also, blood tests reveal a trigylceride level of 557 with no family history of high trigylceride and I eat a healthy diet and exercise regularly.
I was wondering if anyone had any useful information for me so I could finally feel "normal" again!
Did you rule out all other causes pituatary, testes, and hypothalamus. Does hormonal replacement effect fertility or have bad side effects?
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. They are the best! I get estrogen and testosterone. My body only uses what it needs and they are closest to what we make naturally. My life has changed drastically for the better with regards to menopause and libido. The return of my long missing libido was unbelievably wonderful!
On September 29, 2009 I had a complete hystorectomy with a 10lb adnexal mass removed at MD Anderson. An intestinal type cancer of low malignant potential was found. I am waiting to be sceduled for an MRI & Colonoscopy.
After my surgery I was prescribed Effexor for my mood swings and hot flashes. The doctor has continued to increase the dosage up to the highest = 150 mg per day. All it has done for me is turn me into a zombie.
However due to some anxiety issues stemming from too high a dose of testosterone replacement, we both agreed I should back off and go back down to 37.5 and we'll retest in six weeks from now. My FT4 is right at midway my FT3 still remains on the low side (below the midway range mark). However we're taking a slow approach and want the testosterone pellets to wear off before further tinkering.
A couple of members here, including myself, watched Robin McGraw yesterday speak about bio-identical hormone replacement therapy. Did you know that women as young as their teens can have hormonal imbalances ? And that you can show signs of perimenopause in your 20s... feel horrible and be misdiagnosed with chronic fatigue or fibromyalgia ? And yet the medical field has failed us again on this other issue.

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!
Has anybody tried bio identical hormone therapy for Depression? I've heard so much about it. I heard it helps you alot with menopause, depression and with other issues. They check your hormones and then depending how your test comes out they insert some pellets into your hip. I'm looking into doing it.
Yes, adding selenium does decrease their numbers, but the main thing is getting your symptoms under control, AND QUICKLY. I agree with brittle patients, ones that easily get side effects to changes in medication, one has to "start low, go slow", but why do so many doctors "take a year and a day" to get their patients feeling better?
I just had a total hysterectomy February 11th. dr. gave me a hormone shot the day after my surgery. and I'm not sure what the symptoms and side effects are. but I do know I have been super moody. very fatigued. and constant body aches.
What "side effects" are you getting from the thyroxine? Side effects are, typically, those of over medication or under medication.
Also, please clarify your current dosage. Thyroxine is dosed in mcg not mg, so if you're taking 12.5 mcg, that would 1/2 of 25 mcg, which you would have to obtain by splitting a 25 mcg pill or only take a pill every other day. 1/3 of 25 mcg would be 8.
Hi sorry hormone therapy will not help at all , there are no pills or cream to make your penis any bigger , take care ,
Will maca block hormone receptors? 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.
