Re: I would like to stop WP. Can anyone help me figure this out?

[Guest guest]

Greta, I stopped WP's P..and started using Prometrium(oral P)for a few days a month..then I get a 5 day bleed. "I" personally feel that it is important to shed the lining in my uterus that the E helped build. I had similiar symptoms as you on WP. It IS the "P" part of the protocol that "I" believe also is very wrong. If one has pregnancy-like levels of P, then wouldn't one have all the risks of pregnancy also?? Pregnancy is notorious for more problems in older moms than young moms. Problems like: gestational diabetes(high blood sugar), pre-eclamsia(high blood pressure), and more.TerriTo: rhythmicliving Sent: Monday, November 7, 2011 2:03 PMSubject: I would like to stop WP.

I'm Greta and I'm new to the Group. This is my first post. I found you while serching the internet for answers as to why my hair has been falling out by the handfulls since starting the protocol. Im embarrased to leave the house. For some mysterious reason my adrenals stopped working and I can not stand long because of edema of my feet and legs. My thyroid meds stopped working and I developed a severe nervous problem. I think this may be due to the Wiley Protocol.

I cant beleive it has taken me this long to understand my hair loss but I had so much confidence in my Dr. and TS. If they ever find that I am altering my dose they will take away all meds and that will be a cricis which I need to avoid. Without hormones I was in worse shape. I don't blame them as I'm sure they were doing the best they could but I sure would love to grow my hair back and wear something on my feet besides slippers.

I know you guys are not Doctors and I take full responsibility for dosing myself as I'm not sure TS has the P quite right.

I want to scale back to about 5mg E a day and wonder how much of that awful Progesterone I have to take with it if any. I can not afford to upset my doctor because he has already cost me a fortune and I still need to have my scrips refilled as I'm close to out of E.

Can anyone help me

Find a good E2 alternative to WP and suggest a dosage ratio for p at when my 5 E per day? Does that sound logical?

My obgyn might write a script if he knows what to write it for.

Find a source for armour & hc

I think I have more than enough P to last the rest of my life.

Thank you ladies for taking the time out of your busy lives to help a stringy haired stranger.

All the best

Greta
