Bloods
« on: May 31, 2024, 08:26:52 PM »

Just had my blood results, am on 100mg of Everol Patch and Crinone (10 days)

Day 10 of cycle when tested (take Crinone - progesterone day 20)

FSH 31.3
oestradiol 186

My question is does this mean I’m post menopause regardless of HRT?

Thanks

Hi if you’re on hrt blood tests can’t tell you if you’re post menopause. Post menopause is 12 months without a period.

Are you on 100 patch ? If so, that oestrogen level is very low.

Hello thank you for replying.  Yes I’m on 100mg patch, should this be higher at day 10? Makes me wonder if I’m not absorbing?

I thought the FSH was to do with ovaries?

Why? I would have thought it's better to test at it's lowest then you know what the patch is giving you. Your own is likely ro be a variable amount.
