HRT, low white blood cell count & NDT
She had previously said she couldn't prescribe
oestrogel
only patches - which I don't believe - and am going to insist I get the body identical HRT this time. But does anyone know of whether there is a connection between hypothyroidism and low white blood cell count?

help - started oestrogel- 4th day - but does it lower thyroid ? My stomach motility stopped again
hi wonderful people I started HRT
oestrogel
and 4th day and 2 pumps - I have really bad bloating and zero stomach motility - Does it interfere with thyroid t4 or t3 ? I have read it can lower thyroid or block the cell ?

T3/T4 HRT Meds before surgery?
I am in really good health otherwise but do take 150mg Levo and 45mg Liothyronine every morning along with
Oestrogel
and Androfem. I have a coil for progesterone and have bloods every 3 months to monitor.

10 weeks in, not feeling great
My ejection fraction was poor at 45 (which I found a bit upsetting when it transpired I was the lowest in the rehab class) I was on HRT before my attack, and have reduced that hugely to one pump of
oestrogel
whilst I wait for my consultant to get and answer back from my cardiologist to see if I can remain

HRT and magnesium supplements
I’m taking
oestrogel
1-2 pumps in the morning, and one progesterone capsule at night. I’m increasingly frequently waking up in the night and I’m exhausted. Have tried other HRT types which made me feel mad and wild so I want to stick with this. Friends have recommended magnesium glycinate (?)

Feeling cold despite overactive thyroid
I am also perimenopausal, but those symptoms are under control (taking progesterone 12 days a month, three pumps
oestrogel
daily plus twice weekly vagifem). I am at a loss as to what is making me so cold. I can get access to private healthcare and could see a specialist but not sure who can help?

Bleeding on HRT
(Had a fibroid removed in 2021).3 months ago the GP recommended I increase
oestrogel
pumps from x2 to x3 daily as I was complaining of fatigue. 5 days ago I started bleeding with period pain/cramps. GP advised I stop HRT and review in a month.

Getting the Mirena Coil removed
The hot flushes have also come back so I’m now on
oestrogel
as well. I know the coil isn’t for everyone but I’ve really given it a chance. Has anyone come off of everything and just let their body do its thing? Or is it not wise for endo.

HRT and cirrhosis
My GP has changed my (low dose) HRT to a gel and tablet: Gel =
Oestrogel
80g . Tablet = Medroxyprogesterone 5mg. The enclosed leaflets, however, say ‘do not take’ if you have or have had liver disease. I’m unable to get in contact with my hepatologist. Any advice please ?

Estraderm patches or Oestrogel?
I have been using
Oestrogel
for the last 5 months or so but I have switched to Estraderm MX75 patches as I wasn't noticing any cognitive improvement with the
Oestrogel
. Does anyone know the difference between patches and
Oestrogel
? Do patches provide a steadier flow of oestrogen than the gel?
