Sherri- BV/antibiotics Re: Digest Number 6027

[Guest guest]

Hi Sherri,

Whenever I came off the amoxicillin (before) the V pain would come

back with tremendous force.. so it never actually cured me and I

never did really figure out what was going on there (bacteria or

antiobiotic-wise).

Would love to hear how your results go tomorrow. I've had my estrogen

measured several different ways too, but my first blood draw was

around 30pg/ml. That was at the end of the month when it's supposed

to be low.... but low is normally around 90-100ng/ml (just before the

period). I'm only 26 years old. Mid Luteal phase was more normal the

2nd blood draw... but if I get pain these days, it is typically

around my period. I'm sure there are a lot of factors involved, and

this just seems to be a major player for me.

Back when I was using hormone creams, I wasn't measured, but they

also did not help me. The estrace seemed like it might be helping at

first... but it just caused me to be itchy more than anything else..

very yeasty feeling.

The only thing I do now is vitamins and sometimes herbs, which have

helped me by leaps and bounds. After I bought into these super

expensive vitamins (designed for menopausal women), I started trying

other cheaper vitamins, and it they couldn't compare at all. The

expensive women to women vitamins (very high quality) fixed me and

made my cycles more perfect than I've ever seen in my life. The

walmart brand sent me on hormone roller coaster again. Now I'm trying

NewChapter and they seem to be working alright too (expensive as

well), but I'm thinking about going back to the womentowomen brand. I

called them several times to make sure they didn't have any HRT in

them... because it was just so unblievable how much they helped me. I

keep trying to come off them because I eat soo healthy I just don't

feel like I should have to have vitamins all the time, but apparently

I do.

it was 25. I think I was around 50. Then I started a compounded

estrogen topically and 2-3 months later it shot up to 366. (way too

high). I'll get my results on the 13th from my latest blood tests.

Are you using any form of estrogen.

testosterone would help for the libido, but it hasn't.
