Estrogen

[Slinks]

Can you be super sensitive to estrogen if you have endo? I tried half a pump of estrogel on Saturday and Sunday I was floored all day. Sick, dizzy couldnt move. Thankyou

I can’t answer your question but I did experience something very similar when I tried oestrogen gel. I stopped using it in the end and am wary about how/when/if you try again.

I don't know about sensitivity but it is a very bad idea to take oestrgen supplemnets if you have endo because oestrogen makes the endo grow. You should ask your doctor why they have prescribed you something that encourages endo and increases it. Think I'd change my doctor, bear in mind GPs know next to nothing about endo.

every one with Endo should avoid all oestrogens and phyto-oestrogens (like pesticides that convert into oestrogens). You need to try a diet that helps you excrete the oestrogens from your body. The problem is that the Endo patches can produce oestrogens, just to add to the problem. Try a good nutritional therapist like Dian Shepperson Mills endometriosis.co.uk/
