Hi Hurdity
I last had bloods done last summer. I'd been on 4 pumps for about a month, but my oestrogen was still only about 604 p/mol, I think? And Prof Studd said he didn't think that particularly high at all, he has patients will oestrogen levels over 1000 p/mol.
It would make sense if the pumps were mainly suppressing my cycle, and I feel okay, but then occasionally my cycle breaks through and causes these symptoms? The headache, nausea, aching joints, interrupted sleep, diarrhoea etc are all things I associate with hormonal fluctuations. Whether that's too high, or too low, I just don't know? If I knew, I would know whether to lower my pumps for a few days, or increase them.
I applied 4 pumps of oestrogel at about 10.30am this morning, and since lunch I have felt much better, much more calm and clear headed. I just don't know if this is a coincidence?
