The literature suggest an estradiol level of at least 50 to 70 tp prevent osteoporosis. Is there a level for progesterone since you can't follow subjective symptoms for osteoporosis?
@claudiapetrillihealthcoach8545 20 сағат бұрын
@carolwong9279 not that I know of. And truthfully, hormone testing reliability is SUCH a debated topic amongst my peers. We don't know what specific level will protect the body from the silent systemic changes, so providing a standard measurement that can be applied to all women is challenging. Not to mention that progesterone (HRT) cannot be measured accurately in any testing. Although we can measure metabolites (24-hour testing via Meridian Valley or Rhein Labs is best).

Anyone have thoughts on oral estradiol ? I understand when they test your blood that it’s a snapshot in time but two months ago they tested it and it was 72 and tested it two weeks ago and it was 21. Ugh no wonder I have hot flashes again

@@Karikk72 some providers are against oral estrogen because it can increase risk of clotting (if you have history of clot, it’s contraindicated). However, if no history of blood clot, some women prefer that route and may do better with it than topical. Also need to assess other risk factors with your provider. I personally use topical estradiol in a patch. Some ladies like cream, gel, or even a spray.

Is it an estradiol only patch or does it have levonorgestrel as well? If it's estradiol only, you should also be on progesterone (oral micronized such as Prometrium). If it has levonorgestrel, I would opt for an estradiol only patch and also get an RX for Prometrium. Levonorgestrel is a progestin, which is NOT bioidentical progesterone.

My doctor has prescribed what I asked of him…estradiol patch, 100mg Prometrium, and testosterone. I am way more informed than he is so he is allowing me to test this out for 90 days and do another blood draw at that point. I have been on it for 2 weeks and then got a cycle. I am late peri. I could feel my estrogen naturally rise on day 4 of my bleed and so I didn’t think I should apply my patch. I feel great and am afraid too much estrogen would give me not so pretty symptoms. Prior to this bleed I went 4 months without a cycle and always know when my estrogen goes down…which is why I wanted to try HRT. I guess I just don’t know if I should keep applying the patch even knowing that my estrogen has risen because of my period. Yes, this is probably why it helps to work with someone fluent in all of this but money is an issue and because my doc is willing to prescribe this is what I have to work with for now. What would be the benefit for keeping the patch going even if it means I may have too high estrogen for a time?
@claudiapetrillihealthcoach8545 2 ай бұрын
Estrogen will fluctuate in peri - a lot. Estrogen HRT helps mitigate the symptoms that come with those ups and downs. Some providers believe in cycling HRT or using at certain points in your cycle. I personally use the patch and take it all month. You’ll know when your dose is too high but also know 100 mg Prometrium/progesterone may not be enough. Too many women think they have “too much estrogen” when it’s often a case of too little progesterone. And yes, there’s a trial period and working with someone to find your sweet spot. And as you age, your needs will change. I just adjusted my own (increasing both progesterone and estradiol). Hope that helps 💗

@@puffchickpam1 Prometrium IS micronized progesterone - you must be getting confused with Prempro which is a combo estrogen and PROGESTIN - which is not bioidentical.
