Hi All,
Many thanks for your replies and support.....
With regards to the Estrogel, have tried to get by a couple of times with just the Estrogel...
Last year started with the Estrogel....
But shortly after starting, had large amounts of vaginal discharge, thrush like symptoms and was all swollen down there
Also continuously crying and wanting to die....
Started of on 1 pump, then quickly moved to 2 pumps and then 3 pumps per day over a number of weeks
Eventually it felt like i had a cannonball between my legs, took thrush treatments etc just in case but no joy.....
Then started to apply small amounts of progesterone, which helped the situation slightly, with some continious improvements......
Then it all went wrong .... eventually weaned myself of all the HRT to see if could cope with nothing....
Still problems with nothing , which did a Salvia test which came back Estrogen deficient, Progesterone was low also....Testosterone was ok
So thought would give the HRT another go.... with Estrogel and Prog, gently working my way back up....
Recently increased the Estrogel..to 2 pumps... soon breasts sore, sweaty hands and feet, throbbing sensation and discomfort down there, also vaginal discharge....Also since going back on the HRT feel like a lump in throat, more difficult swollening pills...
Applying Prog seemed to help...then seem to loose it and go the other way.... since going back on the Prog the other day.... throbbing down there and discomfort has eased.
Only chance i get sleep is via sleeping pills :-( ...
Have tried the Estrogen on its own, but causes symptoms which increasingly get worse.... kept it stable at 1 pump for 6-7 weeks before increasing to 2 pumps.
Big hugs
