2 Patches and still low estrogen symptoms

[Guest guest]

HI Everyone

Finally I feel like im getting somewhere with this whole HRT business. I've

moved on to being on the Climera patch and this has helped my migraines A LOT. I

use two 100 patches per week. However, Im still having some constipation and

crawling skin even with two patches and Im wondering if taking more estrogen

would be a bad thing? I can probably tolerate the crawling/ itching, but the

constipation drives me INSANE. Ive had a lot of abdominal surgery and now have

an ileostomy bag and constipation is very hard to manage in these circumstances.

Im wondering if my high t3 dose is creating a lot of SHBG and this is reducing

the available estrogen Im getting from the patch.

Appreciate your feedback

Thanks!
