Hello! It’s been awhile since I posted. I have been on 0.05 mg Estradiol patches for about three years (along with progesterone pills). My doctor wanted me to try weaning off, so I dropped to 0.0375 mg patches in May.
I have been feeling not great lately. Frequent headaches, muscle aches, feeling hot for extended periods, nausea and wooziness. Has anyone had symptoms after stepping down estrogen? I always had headaches during the placebo week when I was taking birth control pills, and I felt utterly wretched when I stopped them altogether, so I wondered if my body really doesn’t like estrogen changes.
My doctor doesn’t seem to think it’s related, and we’re doing tests to explore other options, but I would really love to hear if any of you experienced similar. Thank you!
