Guest guest Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 I think when you are taking any hormone med it is different than when your body makes it. I know that diff people metabolize hormones at different rates. It sounds to me that the P is making your thyroid hormones more available due to it blocking E somewhat. What type of P do you take? Is it oral? If it is the oral needs to be taken 2 a day because it wears off in about 8 hrs (I think). I think the hardest thing to this whole BHRT thing is to mimic your own body and it might be impossible to do w/the current methods available. My daughter came off the pill about 1 yr ago and is taking the smallest amt of oral E from Belmar (supposedly bypass' the liver). I'm not sure she is ovulating but after about 3 months her uterine lining was thin and the ovaries showed cysts. She is due for another visit soon. Will let you know. Karin > > Hi girls..ok, wanted some educated opinions on a couple of questions i have. First, we know that P can go both ways...it can be converted into T/DHT in kidneys or it could also prime estrogen receptors..so could it do both at the same time? my experience with a high dose of P was higher T..it doubled my T..but on a lower dose (100mg oral) even though i've experienced some symptoms of higher T in the beginning..now on day 9, i am feeling higher E...is this possible? > > What i am feeling is insomnia, nervousness, trembling of hands, inability to relax...like i have to keep on running on a treadmill all day long...feels terrible...it became a bit better after i've lowered my E some, but on day 7 of P even with lower E the symptoms came back. I've also noticed that symptoms become worse 3 hrs after i take 50mg of P...Btw, my thyroid is fine, i've just had it checked > > Another question i have is for ladies who still get their periods and ovulate. Do you think it's possible to ovulate while taking high doses of E? doesn't it suppress FSH and ovulation doesn't happen? Today i am exactly 3 months off BCP and still not ovulating...it bothers me. i am afraid i am over-supplementing.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 she is on .25mg oral E no P. Hopefully she is ovulating and this won't suppress her own body making the hormones it needs. > > > > Hi girls..ok, wanted some educated opinions on a couple of questions i have.
