A question about HRT
Posted , 4 users are following.
My doctor prescribed me HRT, which consisted of Progesterone pills and a vaginal estrogen. (I smoke so it is safer).
Here is my question (since I did not use it).
how do they know which hormones you need more of, or is it hit and miss?
They did no hormone count or anything. So one wonders how they actually know what to give you.
I'm scared of HRT and the effects it could have if incorrectly balanced. Isn't this all about balancing hormones. Can I ask to have them measured?
And finally, anyone tried soya products/pills? How did that work out for you? Thanks

I think every woman should get testing done as a baseline. However I have been working with a female endrocrinologist, who is big on bloodwork. Problem is, when she felt that my labs said I was balanced, I felt horrible. So apparently, she didn't have a clue what was normal for me.

I know I feel better on HRT but at some point I will see if I can try a higher dose of estrogen as I still have some symptoms and the first week on it things were great even sleep but it didn't last.

I am sleeping soundly through the night, and my vaginal atrophy and dryness is gone. But do I feel normal and like back to my old self? NOPE.
