I need some feedback if anyone can give me some advice. I was taking Estrace 1 mg. I have been seeing a naturapath and she wanted me to be on Estrogel .006 which is biomedical a plant base. I have been on the estrogel for 10 days. I am losing some weight that the estrace gave me, I found I gained weight from this pill. The one problem is I am short tempered and aggitated. I was wondering if anyone can give me some feedback, one more thing to add is I am having hot flashes a bit from both taking estrace and now the estrogel... I want to find a an estrogen that sits in my body and workd as a natural as possible. I take prometrium for the progesterone 100 mg and that part is fine. If anyone can give me some feedback of there experience.
I'm on Estradiol 2 mg. (generic of Estrace). My doctor put me on the 2 mg. immediately after my full hysterectomy, in 1998. Loved it, never had problems, but then we moved to Texas and another OBGYN decided to take me down to almost nothing. I won't go into all the long/sordid details, but after 2 years of thinking I was losing my mind, hot flashes, anxiety/panick attacks, etc. I'm FINALLY back on 2 mg. and life is good again. From all the horrible things I went through I found it takes at least 8 months for the estrogen to start settling down in your system. I'm just ending my 8 months. The first 5 months you go through hell, then by the end of the 6th month you begin to think "maybe" it's working, by the end of the 7th month, good days and bad days, my 8th month I FINALLY feel normal and my husband is still here . 1 mg. Estradiol didn't help me at all - I mean at all. Good luck!
