Guest guest Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 How slow are you weaning yourself down? What are you taking? How much are you taking? I'm working with Dr. Schwarzbein and we're tapering me very slowly and I've had little headaches off and on for a few weeks now. I'm convinced they are related to the drop in E but we are also decreasing P fairly dramatically as well. beth > > I am weaning down on estrogen & getting ocular migraines on day #18... > Wondering if I should add some more estrogel back in.. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 beth- I had been using Estrogel 3 pumps daily. I am 38 years old with parts but due to using hydrocortisone, my sex hormones went down. I am unable to use progesterone. Since I had a Novasure ablation last year, Dr Vliet told me I did not need progesterone- unless I wanted to use it. I have a " new " doc who out me on estriol creme in addition to the estrogel thinking it would fill in receptor sites & I would get the ocular migraines. She has me weaning off 1 pump every 30 days. I was down to 2 pumps- 1 in the morning & 1 in the evening before bed. I started weaning down the morning pump over a two week period but added in the estriol. Day#16 & 18 I started the ocular migraines. So, I added some estrogel back in the morning. I think 1 pump every 30-days is too fast for my body!

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Hi Lori, This all sounds so messy. I don't have a clue about the pump relative to the Wiley syringes. All I can say is be careful...I think we're all playing with fire. beth > > > > I am weaning down on estrogen & getting ocular migraines on day #18... > > Wondering if I should add some more estrogel back in.. > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
