7 Surprising Facts About Estrogen

[@julianatorrez5146]

Thank you. I had so many obgyn's refuse to give my hrt. Im an ICU nurse with a masters degree and did so much research, all pointing me to HRT. But, I got shot down for years..... thank god I finally took my top notch insurance to planned parenthood. I didnt have to beg and fight for my case, they just said "yes, of course thats what you need".... 😭years of needless suffering.

[@jeanniet1972ify]

That is horrible you had that experience. Mine gave it to me and also recommended reading material with it. I started with the patch and it wasn't strong enough I had so much breakthrough bleeding and had to start on Lo-estrin fe 1/10. This has worked for me.

[@MahHairChronicles]

I suffer for early menopause and fought tooth and nail for HRT. I had started to accumulate fat in my belly and my face aged more in a year than it had the previous 10 as doctors danced around if a 39 year old would benefit from HRT. Now, I am working to undo the damage of 2+ years without estrogen, while finding the right balance of hormones. But thank the stars for HRT and the fact that perimenopause and menopause are finally having a light shown on them and that we are putting an end the the needless suffering of women during this stage in their lives.

[@erikkasepiphany85]

I’m 39 and I’ve had night sweats since 35 as well as heavy period bleeding and clots for years that now left me severely anemic. I hope and pray these drs will give me hrt. I know I’m in perimenopause and was an intervention.

Same. My estrogen started to increase in my 30s not decrease. I now have an estrogen dominance that has caused me to bleed for 3 mos. All other tests came back normal except my estrogen. And every woman in my family has had this issue around the same time in life, which they decided to just get a hysterectomy. My last doctor recommended plant based eating instead, and finally, after 10 yrs of this, my estrogen is slowly getting back to being balanced.

I went on hrt without having my hormones checked. I got restless leg syndrome, went two months without sleep started going crazy. Then they gave me progesterone. Started sleeping but became so drowsy. My brain felt disconnected from my body, i couldn’t work, couldn’t focus on anything. Doctors still tell me to take full dose of both - estrogen and progesterone and refusing to do a hormone test… i have now stopped progesterone- and my alertness is coming back again. Taking only half of the recommended estrogen And ordered hormone tests online and will do them myself. All of this to say - most doctors will refuse to do a test, if they do give you HRT chances are that they will take you to take a wrong dose, wrong times of the month or you will be on the continuous treatment - which almost killed me… 4 doctors told me four different ways to take it. What a mess! Cost me 6 months of my life, lost my job but worse I thought i was going mad…. Be aware… do your research properly before starting HRT. Find a practitioner you can trust. Unfortunately i have not found one yet and resorted to being my own practitioner…. 😅

I have taken Natural Compounded Hormone Replacement (Estradiol, Estrone, Testosterone, Progesterone) for 25 years. I’ve had no issues. It has maintained my heart health, bone mass, muscles, skin, hair and BMI. I know every woman is different. However, with the guidance of a Natural Health MD, DO and my Gynecologist I’ve been very fortunate. I followed a healthy diet consisting of local grown fruits and vegetables. Only eating meats that are organic from local farmers. All recommended by my Natural Health MD. Purchasing local did not costs more than grocery store selections. I exercise regularly and add joy to my life. I’m not so regimented I don’t partake in just normal choices. I choose moderation and still have a full life. I would never take prescribed synthetic hormones often recommended for menopause. They are known for causing ovarian and breast cancer. Also other health issues. Especially the patch. I did my research before taking anything.

Often times in perimenopause, estrogen can be dominant over progesterone. It happened to me too. Many women take a supplement called DIM that helps with this. Once a woman is in post menopause, both her estrogen and progesterone are undetectable. That’s where taking them in plant form can be extremely helpful.

You can have relative estrogen dominance, meaning your progesterone is very low, so estrogen is higher in relation to it, while still having overall estrogen deficiency. In that case, HRT is warranted.

Find a new gyno, that is a very bad idea. She must not be up to date on benefits of bio identical hrt

How do you raise estrogen naturally?? If you can’t take hormones

[@russvet]

Changing of macroses in the food, weight training.

[@ammonitelight]

If you've gone through menopause, you really can't because your ovaries are not making it anymore, but you can try eating phytoestrogens or taking phytoestrogen supplements.

[@Learntarott]

I watched a video that they spoke about DIM vitamin which is brocolli, cauliflower I think.

[@CheapsKate77]

This explains a whole lot since I have PCOS 😔 I was diagnosed at 19 but I’m now 47. But why don’t my doctors know this??? They just seem to make it my fault that I have all of these issues and can’t seem to get rid of them. Should I see an endocrinologist or a Gyno?

At 60 years old and never on Estrogen, I feel it’s too late to start it now. I believe you stated that in an earlier video. HRT should really begin at the first signs of estrogen loss, and would do very little for us older ladies…?

I've been 10 years post menopause and still get hot flashes mood swings vaginal atrophy. I take DIM /vitex, Maca green food powder, exercise, I take Vitamin E which helps fish oil and Flax oil and Esterol vaginal cream as well as wild Yam progesterne cream. Scared to do true HTR Dr. all woman in my family had strokes and I've had anal and pre uterine cancer twice. I wish you were my Dr. I also take and eat Garlic and fish oil for heart health and tumeric and tart cherry extract for inflamation

Thanks for sharing that message there. I have been out sick with larynx pharynx reflux. I had gerd and gastritis before that. I am post menopause stage fifty nine years. Five and a half years housebound. I want to get well soon. Food chain is needed more for my immune system and hormones.

[@Tarie3988]

When do you know when HRT is better than birth control. I’ve been told two conflicting things from medical providers. It all so confusing 🤔

[@crh251]

Of what I have read, the birth control pill is not the best option for menopause. Plus it’s synthetic. It’s better to go on hormones that are plant based like estradiol and progesterone. I wear the estradiol patch and take the oral progesterone pill. Both are made from plants.

[@gayewillis1965]

Please address those of us who are estrogen positive and are on letrozole. Are we just toasted? And what about those who don't know they have it. My sister-in-law was taking a bio identical estrogen replacement. When it was discovered she had ER+ breast cancer it was in both breast.

I cannot take HRTS as I had breast cancer last year ,I have lots of inflammation in my body that I even have Fybromyalgia 😢... what food can increase my oestrogen???....

[@syllaf5326]

I understand this is concerning menopause but would supplementing in oestrogen for an 18 year old wi to PCOS help with the overload of androgens? It’s been 6 years and we’ve tried so many things to no avail. 6 years of acne and facial hair

[@crh251]

I feel your pain. This was my sister too. Look up Benjamin Bikman on KZbin. He wrote the book “Why We Get Sick”. PCOS is often a sign of high insulin. Too many sugars and refined carbs (breads, pastas, rice, etc.) in the diet. Most women with PCOS are insulin resistant. Benjamin Bikman teaches you how to lower your insulin by the way you eat. Also eating too often keeps insulin elevated which is what you want to avoid. When insulin is high, it messes with your hormones causing testosterone to be high. This is why there is the hair issue. My sister had to shave all the time. Most doctors only look at glucose. Glucose can be perfectly normal, but insulin can be sky high. Doctors never check a person’s fasting insulin which is so important. Good luck!!

[@normagt9845]

[@chiomakalu9556]

Have you tried "goodbye to lupus" ? The video is on KZbin. It might help you

[@crh251]

The transdermal estradiol does not cause blood clots. Try to find a menopause specialist near you. They should guide you.

I’m 40 and my estrogen levels are too high, what can I do to stabilize it?

[@Mins333]

Do you experience any problems w high estrogen? Same boat. It seems that progesterone acts as a buffer for estrogen and also helps with everything doc mentions here. Try increasing your progesterone levels naturaly before u hit menopause. Women need both hormones even after menopause albeit in smaller ratios.

Estrogen may have benefits such as the ones youve mentioned but it doesnt mean it’s healthy or better to supplement with it during pre or menopause. Belly fat isn’t “wrong” or “unhealthy”. If you eat normally & exercise youll be what youll body wants you to be.

[@KimLong-v4i]

Is it okay to take it in pull for.? Or should it be better patch?

[@pamelahayes4930]

What do you do when you are told by multiple doctors that you can’t take estrogen replacement therapy of any kind because your cancer is from having too high levels of estrogen? I was put into immediate menopause over night and have been struggling for years now. Emergency surgeries back in 2017 at 42 and it’s still a huge struggle everyday.
