Getting of the WP --- WASRe: Fwd: Cognitive Dissonance (BSP Extra) - Home - Brain Science Podcast

[Guest guest]

Great that you paid attention to your body. You could start with an ultra low dose of estrogen and slowly work up. There are docs who will do that. Laurel I was on the WP for almost 6 weeks. I did no research, just heard about it from a lady I know through work, who raved about how wonderful it was working, and how it lifted the brain fog. I thought she told me a lot of ladies in her office were on it, but later found out she was the only one and the others were on some form of hormone treatment. They got me started with E first, then after almost 2 weeks of that I started the monthly cycle of E/P. I was not feeling good on the WP, and had some niggly doubts. After the P, and the first bleed I had had in 4 1/2 years, I just quit. I did not refill my prescription. When I started feeling bad, I started doing research and came across your group. I am so glad I did. I so didn't want to have monthly periods, but the obgyntold me all of her patients said it was worth it, they felt so much better overall. I was concerned about quitting cold turkey after reading about it, but did it anyway. I was angry at the dr.'s office, and didn't want to go back there. Another concern was that in the 3 1/2 months I was supposed to be on it between appointments, I never received a follow up call concerning my health or any concerns I might have. I paid close attention to my body, and didn't notice any side effects or lingering ailments after quitting the protocol. The only thing I have noticed is that I still seem to be losing hair, more than normal for me. I stopped end of July. I am completely satisfied to have stopped the protocol. I don't know if after I researched it I would have done it anyway, I probably would because I wanted a miracle cure for the brain fog mostly. I could go on but will stop now.

I have used vagifem suppositories before, and I actually liked them. I can get them again from my regular obgyn, who I will be going to soon for annual. I will tell her about the WP and see what she says. Just glad I didn't spend any more time

on it than I did.
