Question on what to adjust.

[Guest guest]

Hi

I have been raising iron and magnesium a lot this past month and feeling better

in general from that. At the end of my last period I tried 1/4 of a .25 vivelle

estrogen patch and left the patch on for 3 days. My period this month is two

weeks late which is very unusual for me. Would the little bit of estrogen at

the beginning of last cycle be affecting this period?

I also feel sort of hypothyroid (hair falling out, joints are sticking) and

hypoadrenal (a little shaky feeling) and my pulse is higher (80's)and bp a

little lower than usual but adding cortef just makes me feel like I have too

much hc.

I am not sure what I should be adjusting. If the patch didn't cause the period

delay then would these hormone/iron changes change it to that extent? Even

through these past couple of years of illness my period still always came

monthly give or take a few days.

Thanks for your help,

If it were me, I'd try taking the T3 in four smaller doses instead of three, and

yes, if adjusting down, adjust the later-in-the-day doses first.

I don't know how the estrogen is affecting things. I believe it would raise Sex

Hormone Binding Globulin, but how this would affect the balances of other

hormones I really don't know. Perhaps you can re-post this when Val is back?
