RE: hysterectomy T use/Christa

[Guest guest]

Christa, yes I do 20mg of P on my breast for ten days a month, but remem I do not have a uterus to protect! Most doctors will do their best tomake us nervous when it comes to estradiol. I try to talk to them as little as possible about exactly what I am doing, so I do not get the FEAR factor thrown at me. I get my E compounded in olive oil from The Womens International Pharmacy. I had them send a prescription to my practitioner and she signed it. I heard recently from one of our RL members that a pharmacist she contacted recommended sesame oil over olive oil. Said it penetrated the tissues better. I might try that on my next refill. madeleen Christa McClellan wrote: Thanks! That really helps me alot! The information discussed with other members on this forum seems to be more helpful than my doctor! My dr is making me nervous - he wants me to take so much P -he originally prescribed 100mg per day, every day, even after I explain the side effects I have when I go on P phase of my cycle . I insisted that I want to use the P cyclically and he grudgingly agreed. - He also is surprised that I called to change my bi-est prescription to estradiol! so you use about 20mg of P drops , 10 days a month? (did I read the math correctly? and which pharmacy do you like to use for the E olive oil drops? my

local compounder does not do that I also seem to do well so far on 6mg of E per day - I get symptoms of deficiency if I use less than that.

I use about 3.5mg in olive oil. If I use it more often I get chin hairs. I also think it builds up, not unlike P. I do take Evening Primrose oil to counteract DHT conversion. I use approximately 6mg of E in olive oil. Have for a long time. Sometimes I need more, when I am

stressed. I have repeatedly tried to lower my E, but I do not feel well then (back problems, brain fog, incontinence). So I am mostly "perfectly" comfortable with my dosing, eventhough my test numbers are high. My practitioner likes to see my numbers in the 200s rather than the 400s. But she does not have my body. I only use 4X5mg of P in alcohol drops on my breast ten days out of the month. I cannot use any cream. I am very allergic to the PCCA cream. Hope this helps, Madeleen Christa McClellan <x_a88hotmail> wrote: thanks Madaleen what dosage of T do you use, and is it a cream? also, what dose of E do you take, and what form? any info from an 'experienced veteran' would

help my dr I think is afraid to prescribe enough E for me, and wants me to use so much P!!! thanksChrista To: rhythmicliving From: canhelp2Date: Sun, 18 Nov 2007 20:30:42 -0800Subject: Re: New member - question WP and hysterectomy two years after WP I was bleeding so badly that I am sure I would have died without a hysterectomy. I had no side effects from the hyst and it allows me to take higher than the low doses of E most practitioners prescribe. If I take low doses of E I have serious back problems due to slipped disk a yr ago and do not have the energy I like. I use P only on my breast for 10 days of the month and that is low low doses like 5 mg. A hyst is not the worst thing in the

world. I would not promote it, tried to avoid it for nearly ten yrs, but at least I do not have to worry about my lining building up anymore. The hyst I had over a yr ago has not interfered with my sex life. As a matter of fact it is better than ever with the use of T.
