I like how straight forward the information was but um frustrated because i so want to do well on bio identical hormones but when i tried it u felt worse then what i was treating. I kept trying to persevere but my face and body kept swelling up with fluid. It helped withmy sleep but then i would be exhausted the whole day while being on it. I can't understand why it doesn't work for me:(

I find all this information so informative but it’s frustrating when it seems like my doctor isn’t sure if I’m menopausal or not! Hysterectomy (ovaries left intact), shortly after my FSH was measured at 35…. after adding hormones of estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone my latest number is 1.98 soooooo confusing. My dr declared me menopausal, now thinks my ovaries are functional again. So now I wait for her call if I stop using the patch. My estradiol level is 121 , testosterone 18. any information would be appreciated. Thank you I always love this channel of knowledge!

What is the 1.98? Your FSH? If that is the case what your doc does not understand is that in the early menopausal years and late peri-menopausal years the FSH will fluctuate. So the brain and ovary disconnect and connect over usually a 1-2 year time. So when they disconnect and the ovary does not make estrogen your brain yells as it feels bad and needs estrogen and the FSH goes up. Your blood estrogen low. Then your doc gave you the patch. But a few months or weeks later your brain and ovary connected again and the ovary made estrogen. That is why your estrogen number elevated high again and your FSH dropped. So unless you have your ovaries removed and you are in immediate menopause- you will roller coaster a bit. You may get some breast tenderness and bloating. If they happens take off the patch until your symptoms of low estrogen and brain fog etc come back - then put the patch back on. Your testosterone number is fine. Healthy testosterone is average 21. Hope this helps

@@dianginsberg942 Hi Dian! Thank you for responding. I swear I wish you lived in my area, where I could benefit so much from your knowledge. Here’s a quick timeline. Jan 2022 hysterectomy leaving ovaries, 2 weeks later FSH is at 35. I felt terrible with all the menopausal symptoms. I was started on the patch which made me feel crazy. Somedays weee pure hell. Dr then decided to increase the patch and I felt even worse. I started using compunded Progesterone to help with the anxiety. It helped until it didn’t and I was referred to a midlife dr here at the university of Virginia. From there she tried Premarin, vaginal ring, and each thing was even more terrible! I took the ring out and she drew labs to find my estrogen was nearly 350. I went back to the patch with just 0.25mg. I keep a constant headache. My regimen now is 0.25 estradiol patch, 200 mg progesterone compound creme, testosterone creme. I also use vaginal estrogen, twice weekly. This is such a struggle. I eat clean and workout 4 days a week. I’m 44.
