Crispychick, I do feel poisoned on estrogen only, I've been using it for almost 5 years now and have never found I've felt good on it, I've gone from gel to patches back to gel various doses of 25, 50 and 75 and equivalent on gel, I do always stay with one thing for 3 months or more so it's not because I'm not giving it long enough, it does control hot sweats for me I get none, unless I change go too low or too high, but that's it everything else I get it hasn't touched if anything it causes so many side effects, I've considered giving up on it, but doctors say at my age I need to take it, that's why I decided to buy progesterone myself to see if I feel any better using it, I think it's getting the balance right which I just can't seem to do, stick at two pumps and I get too low symptoms, go to 3 pumps I feel OK for a few weeks then too high symptoms start, very difficult, and very frustrating, I've been on hystersisters website where lots of them have the same problem on estrogen only hrt, so I'm hoping using the progesterone will help used it for the first time tonight so I will see what happens, I can't try oral hrt either because I have hemiplegic migraines, for me as if my body just doesn't like hrt, I so wish I was one of the lucky ones who uses it and feels good, I'm not expecting perfect just ok will do.
