Guest guest Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 I got blood tests back today...... 1.5 mgs. Estrogel per day gave me a reading of 56 for E2. . And I was doing that dose for two weeks prior to testing... Not too long before that, I tested E2 after doing 2 lines Del Norte HRT cream, plus a patch every day and a half, and the reading was 195. Don't know what to make of this except I need alot more estradiol...... and other than fatigue, I can't say I am suffering greatly from E deficiency... but can it be that I have forgotten what " really good " feels like?!

When I have " really good " days I get the gest that I'm not there a lot of the time. Still is taking a lot of energy to get through daily stuff so there's not enough left over the fun stuff. I'm also frustrating a bit now over how complicated all this gets. I'll get over it...... Bye Lynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 ....... 1.5 mgs. Estrogel per day gave me a reading of 56 for E2. . And I was If this was a serum level it seems low to me, I would think it should be around 90-120. How long after application did you test? Sam I tested about 2 1/2 hours after .75 mg application. I apply .75 mg. BID. Does 56 seem low with this kind of application? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 > I hear you Lynn!!!! It seems like getting to a good steady place is taking forever...or is it all an illusion? Madeleen ----> Illusion... that's the word I was looking for LOLOL! I've been doing 18mg of P the last few days trying to add it back in and I'm wiped again. (P is oo sublingual from the WIP bottle that 8drops = 50mgs. I'm doing 1 drop AM and 2 drops P.) I'm sleeping great...in fact I want to sleep all the time just like last year. I WANT my 2:00pm nap so bad I can't stand it. And I go comatose with it. My muscles are getting weak again, losing enthusiasm for life and my appetite has returned for sugar, sugar, sugar.... ALL on a lousy 18mg of P !!!! I can't even think about what the hell I did to myself on WP. I waiting to see what the blood test last week shows. I tested the E before adding any P.

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 Lynn- same thing is happening to me. I'm using only 2 drops of OO P (on my wrist) and it's 50mgs/8 drops too. It wipes me out physically. What is up with this? ____________________________________ > > > I hear you Lynn!!!!

The first week or two that I added a small amount of P back in I had the same old overload symptoms...but after that, I went to 100mg P BID because i wanted to stop my periods and bleeding and I found I now get more energy from it like I used to. Why? I have NO IDEA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 Yes I suppose I could add more OO to the mix, but then I'll never know what dose I'm taking! ------------------------------------------- > > > > > > > I hear you Lynn!!!!

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 Hi , just a suggestion, if you haven't thought of it yet yourself. What if you mix your E oos with an extra blob of emu or coconut oil ? Laurel gave me that idea way back (- I remember that I thinned out the MS cream with some distilled water.)- and it's worked for me !

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 Yes I suppose I could add more OO to the mix, but then I'll never > know what dose I'm taking! > > , just put a blob of what ever oil you are going to use in the palm of your hand, then put your OO E dose on top, let them combine in your hand, then rub it in really well. It's fast and easy:)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
