Re: Estrace topical/Spanish Miss

[Guest guest]

When I started using compounded estradiol my estrogen was 25. I used too much of it and in three months it went to 366!! No side effects other than a horrible BV infection.

Estrace can be and is, in my case, absorbed internally. I can't use it (peasize amount) more than once a week or I spot. The patient insert info actually does tell that is is absorbable. We are all different. What may affect you, may not affect me and vice versa. spanishmiss430 wrote:

Anonymous, you and I seem to have alot in common. Because of my breast cancer

I can't use but a little. I have a question for you and the rest of the girls, alot of

you girls have been experimenting with estrace for a long time and know alot about

it, maybe more than the doctor, but anyway, my question is I too only use

a pea amount once a week on the outside of the vulva. Now my question

has nothing to do with absorption, each woman is probably different with that.

But using it once a week can that maintain the skin where it doesn't thin

anymore. I woujld appreciate your knowledge. Millie

But clearly your blood level numbers show how Estrace is indeed absorbed. You were lucky to have gotten your numbers checked early enough to forestall any serious side effects from long term estrogen at those levels. I am menopausal, but I understand that when we are premenopausal, our hormones fluctuate from phase to phase - so a daily reading of 366 probably would not be a good thing!DustyShopper56@... wrote: When I started using compounded estradiol my estrogen was 25.

No, my doctor was not happy with the 366. I had started using it on my thigh as hormone replacement. Then I read that so many women were using it at the opening of their vaginas that I started doing that also. I used wayyyyyyyy to much. Now I just use it at the opening. I haven't gotten my hormones checked since then and that was over a year ago. I probably should have them checked again.
