What does FHS of 31 indicate and do I need estrogen?

[Aloha79]

I am 43 and just stopped breastfeeding my youngest, age 20 months.

Latest bloods showed FSH of 31 (not sure of cycle day, I think CD5). GP has suggested Qlaira COP to ensure I am getting estrogen. Would it be best to test my estrogen (and progesterone) levels first?

I am confused as to how much estrogen I need. Thank you!

Even though we’re told breastfeeding protects against breast cancer-not sure who decided that- I got it after feeding my two! So take everything with a pinch of salt- check your family history?
