Repeat question for the group

[Guest guest]

I haven't received any replies, so I'd like to repeat my query for those who

have been through it before and might be able to lend some insight.

For those of you who have been through it, thank you for helping the " nubies " . I

have been on Wiley for two years. About six months ago serum estrogen levels

were low, along with increased weight gain, all belly and hips, increased hair

shedding, and decreased libido. All of course attributed to the final natural

estrogen production shutting off. I was told to increase the estrogen and

symptoms of course are worse. Called the " dr " that prescribed about how to

stop/taper/discontinue. He has not called back. Went on the web and found your

site. So for those of you who did it, I'm not feeling toxic, I just think all

these effects are due to the hormones. How did you get off of it? I have

decreased the WP estrogen (W + 1) by half and am applying bid and am cycling

the progesterone as well beginning with only 20mg (one line) and going up to

100mg (5 lines) and back down to 20mg over the 14 days. Next month I will cut

the estrogen dose in half again (so it will be 1/4 of the usual dose. I saw a

physician today who prescribes bioidentical hormones and she really hasn't done

this before. She said what I am doing sounded good. Just wondering what the

rest of you did and what products and dosages you are on now, if any. Thanks.
