Anyone using Estrogel with success to relieve horrible hot flashes?
On ronrons advice and experience I decided to give estrogen replacement a try. I get horrible hot flashes every hour that leaves me drenched in sweat. I stopped taking lupron 6mo ago hoping that was the biggest culprit. Last blood test still showsT <12. I take 500mg of zytiga and 5mg of prednisone

Using transdermal E2
Ronron's posts about using E2 instead of ADT have been interesting. Who else has used? If so: 1. Has anyone switched from using Lupron (or any 1st or 2nd level ADT, such as Firmagon, abiraterone, etc.) directly to transdermal E2? 2. Has anyone who has used it eventually become castrate resistant

TSH and SHBG
Does anyone know much about SHBG please? I’ve had a few blood tests and all coming back with high SHBG levels (over 200 but does not state how much over as the lab just reports ‘over’). Doc is fixating on my TSH level (0.005) saying they think I’m over medicated but my T3 and T4 are within range and

Misinformed about use oestrogel
Hi I’m 56 and been peri menopausal for at least 10 years and although I’ve had numerous visits to the GP, I still have no idea whether I’m post or peri menopausal as apparently there is no way of knowing?!? But then I seen a trainee dr who told me that she could do a blood test to find out? So confusing

Can you use Utrogestan as contraceptive?
I'm nearly 44 and was diagnosed with early menopause at 41. I was on Femodene for 2 years (from 41-43) but started to have serious side effects so switched to HRT. I am now on Oestrogel pump gel and Utrogestan pill 14 days on/off which gives me a monthly bleed. I feel like a new person on HRT but I'm

I am so out of the loop last few years. You know everything seems to level off and u reach a comfortable place

Change of HRT due to shortages
Hi, I've recently had to change from using 2 pumps of oestrogel gel to 1 spray of lenzetto because the pharmacy couldn't source any oestrogel. Is this the right amount as am not sleeping so well and am getting very hot at night? Should I increase the number of sprays? Thanks

Doing much better on synthetic than bio-identical HRT
Sorry if this question has been asked before. I have been on HRT for the past five years, now 52. The worst symptoms have been hot flushes day and night, profuse night sweats and mood swings. I first saw a functional doctor who put me on bio-identical HRT (Oestrogel and Utrogestan). I never experienced

Oestrogel and utrogestan
Hi, I'm 51, post menopausal for about 5 years. I have IBS which has worsened since I had a hip replacement last year. My GP put me on Oestrogel and utrogestan in May this year in the hope that it would help I use 2 pumps a day and utrogestan vaginally every 2nd day. My stomach is still not behaving,

How do we avoid adverse interactions between Thyroid med/s and HRT? And what’s your experience of taking these concurrently?
Hi All, Thanks to you lovely lot, I have been successfully taking T4 Levothyroxine 125mcg x1 with self-prescribed T3 25mcg x twice daily. I feel I’ve hit the right spot with my thyroid regime. I take Almus brand 100mcg, with Wockhardt 25mcg T4 Levo. I take the Tiromel brand for my T3. I’m coeliac,

Recommendations for keeping cool at night
Hi all, I’m 55 and have just hit menopause. I’m on oestrogel cream and utrogestan tablets to control my vertigo symptoms, which also means I’m not getting extreme menopausal symptoms. However, I do feel very hot at night and am having trouble sleeping. I have a tempur mattress (due to a back problem)

Still 'tweaking' BHRT nearly a year later
Hi All I could really do with some advice/guidance/reassurance in relation to this matter. Having been advised that I was in early menopause early in 2020 I was originally left to it by my GP until I sought private help in relation to managing my symptoms. The symptoms I had/have are cramping, foggy
