Some of you will remember that I recently had a totally unsuccessful appointment with a gynae regarding my hrt. Basically he was anti hrt so wouldn't discuss how to help me except recommend natural products.
Anyway, I have heard back from the department after putting in a complaint and the team are standing by what the gynae said....no surprise there now. They say they cannot help me further and basically that's that.
One of the things I had wanted to discuss was my problem with what I believe to be a hormone imbalance, I feel I am not getting enough progestogen from my conti patch to balance the estrogen. ( I am getting shows of old blood every couple of months so the progestogen is not sufficient to keep my endometrium thin enough and it's building up.
However, over the past couple of weeks I have started to feel nauseous, feel like when I was first pregnant, I get blood sugar dips and I have to keep snacking to hold the nausea down. I seem to be constantly hungry. I'm also fatigued, anxious, full if aches and pains and I'm even starting with a couple of spots on my face.
I know I mentioned part of this problem in another post the other day but I'd like to know what you well informed ladies would do in my position to address this estrogen dominance
Would you leave off the hrt conti patch completely ( I don't really want to keep adding more and more estrogen) or would you ask your doctor for a low dose estrogen patch alongside Utrogestan? How do I get things back balanced is what I'm basically asking.
I'm so frustrated with the lack of help I'm getting from gynaes and although I have an appointment to see my own gp on Tuesday I don't really know if she will know what is the best thing to suggest. Right now I feel like giving up on the hrt full stop but I know if I do I will get the awful meno symptoms returning
