I would be so appreciative if you could help me.
I am 37 and recently diagnosed with poi. My doctor has been fantastic and supportive but has openly said that he knows very little about my condition and specifics for helping me with the symptoms of it.
I am still having periods
I want to have children
Me and my partner have started trying...
Q.1 Could i be on the wrong estrogen?
I am on 75 evorel patches for eaostrogen and the idea is to up my dose to 200. Depending on how im feeling.
I do feel better but not myself yet, still low energy, severe brain damage, fuzzy head and weight gain waking in the night and mood swings. So i do want to keep upping the estrogen as thats meant to help.
But the side effect of breast pain and weight gain (over 3 months of so much pain and enlargement) I dont know what to do.
could it be the brand of estrogen?
I do still want body identical
Q.2 Could it be the progesterone messing me up?
Im on body-identical progesterone (my cycle is 25 days so for half the month i dont take it then the other half i do take it).
I sleep so well when i take it.
Q.3 Should my boobs be this painful?
I worry all of the time that im doing something wrong, but i feel like theirs no one to ask
Q.4 Do any of you know of support groups for poi in the southwest?
Thank you x x x
