Best Birthday Present so far! And questions for the group!

[Guest guest]

So, I turned 33 yesterday and my copy of Dr Vilet's Book " It's My Ovaries

Stupid " arrived. Wish I had read this three years ago; would have saved me sooo

much heartache:(. Going to get my highlighter and stickies out and take it too

my doctors appointment on Monday. Also went and had a look at Dr Vilet's website

and considering doing a phone consult with her.

Ive been naughty and weaned myself down to E + 2 and 200mg Progesterone capsules

(basically 20mg progesterone days 14 - 28, or whenever I start bleeding which

this month was day 24).

Even at this dose I still feel like my E is very low. I have almost daily

migraines (which I have only ever got since this nightmare began from drops in

E), crazy itchy skin, patches of skin on my face with the crawling feeling,

bloating, constipation, fatigue, skippy heart.

So my questions are:

1. Could I have lost the use of/ overloaded some of my E receptors so even

though Im taking extra E Im not getting the benefit of it? And how do I make

some more?

2. Can I just swap straight to a different form of HRT? Or do I need to wean

down?

3. My ovaries were working before I went on WP, but my cycle was a week longer

than normal. Is there any chance they might start working again? I wish I could

go back and just do a top up of the estrogen and take no progesterone:(

Thanks everyone
