4 sticks of estrogel

[Guest guest]

I am using outrageous quanity of 4 sticks of estrogel and these are

blood results:

1.) Feb 14 (which was 20th day of cycle eventhough period has not

come) my blood was 103 after taking 1 stick at 7:30 AM and 1 stick at

1:30 PM and then blood taken at 4:30, same day mp progesterone was 1.7

2.) the previous month on 20th day of cycle, one hr. after one stick

in the AM, my estradiol was 15, same day my progesterone was 2

So even with 4 sticks dosed through out the day, my blood estrogen is

only 103 at peak and 15 at trough in AM

Kind of scary. I am just wondering why I am not shedding any lining

if I am taking this much estrogen and topical progesterone apparently

not doing anything anyway. Candidly, it has been extremely stressful

time-husband is realtor and no commissions in 6 months and now I am

having to pay all the bills from my savings and I am considering

separating. So, I wonder if my body is burning up more estrogen at

this time than is usual. However, in the last 6 months I have felt

that I needed more and more estrogel to maintain an even keel on the

hormones.
