Guest guest Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Hi everyone, I went to see an NP yesterday who was a referral from a compounding pharmacy. My script for estrogen was going to need a refill and I can't continue to see Uzzi so had to move along with someone else. This NP feels that the creams build up too much in the tissues and for that reason doesn't like to use them much. She also feels that saliva testing is the the way to go...not blood. I just don't know what to think about that as when she explained it made sense but most of my reading says to test blood after on HRT. She gave me a script for Prometrium and said that the first pass in the liver is what will help me to tolerate it. I took it last night for the first time and I feel okay this morning. I can't believe it really because I always feel terrible after taking progesterone. Fingers crossed. She also thinks that I am getting too much estrogen even though I don't have those high estrogen symptoms but she wants to wait for the saliva test results before she directs me on that. So confusing. She mentioned a doctor named Eldred and he wrote " Are your hormones making you sick? " Has anyone read this book? I just wonder if it's a good one to purchase. Thank you for any thoughts you might have! Laurie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
