Dear Ladies, I hope you don't mind if I would again love to hear your opinion about the following article. I have to admit that I was quite scared after reading it, specially about the difference between my daily E-dose and the amount of the normal daily ovaries production of estrogen. If this is true, it would explain why my estrogen levels raised from zero to 440 pmol/L within one week on only half pump of Estrogel when I started with HRT, but when I started increasing the gel, the levels were continuos dropping, so I needed more and more gel and now I'm using already 3 pumps, having only half of the E-level which I had on half pump gel at the beginning! Till now nobody couldn't explain why this effect, so I'm really concerned. Also about the theory about unreliable blood serum testing. I'm just asking myself, what if the author is right at the end? If I'm the only one who is feeling insecure about it, please forgive me. www.virginiahopkinstestkits.com/bioidenticalhormonebreastcancer.html |

Thank you so much for your quick and calming response! You know, since this peri madness (I'm 47 and still peri, but I had almost zero estrogen before I started with HRT, probably because my high prolactin is suppressing the estrogen, although my FSH is still normal), I'm having also a health anxiety, and every time I'm reading something like this I'm scared to death. I wish I would have your certainty and confidence!
I'm still not 100% sure what is really the best for me, that's why I'm reading on internet which has its benefits and disadvantages. Without internet I wouldn't start with HRT and because of the internet I still get scared when I read such articles as this one...
Probably this theory confused me so much because of my dropping estrogen levels, which were so great during the first 2 weeks on estrogel, but then they start to drop continuous, despite the increasing of the dose. And then those frequent bleedings which I got after I increased the gel on 2 and a half pumps, so I thought probably I have an overload on estrogen, which is not measurable in my blood, but it's making my body to need more and more of E and who knows at which dose I will end if I continue increasing...
My gyno has no explanation about this unusual behaviour of my E levels, so I wish I would know what's going on in my body and if the patches would maybe be the better choice for me to get stabile and good levels without using too much estrogel.
As soon I will start to earn good money with my book I will travel to Prof. Studd or Dr. Annie to England!!

Jacks, thank you too! So, do you think this statement is false too and I should better forget it? "For example, a woman in the middle of her menstrual cycle will typically produce 10 to 20 mg of progesterone a day. The dose recommended by Dr. Hall was 150 mg twice a day, or 300 mg per day. She is prescribing 4 mg of estrogen a day (2 mg twice a day). The ovaries produce 0.1 to 0.2 mg daily. The goal of hormone replacement should be to mimic physiologic levels, which simply means, “what the body makes.” Dr. Hall’s doses are hundreds of times higher than what the body would make. These are not natural doses, they are mega-doses. Hormone balance is an intricate dance that affects every system in the body, and over time mega-doses will have negative effects on health."

Love you girls! Without you I would be still freaking out, thinking that I probably have an horrible estrogen overload now and soon I will get some dangerous health condition because of the improper HRT...
I can imagine that I'm not the only one who was scared to death after reading this article! Persons who write such comments can do so much harm...

Candy, I was always lousy in math, so could you please calculate for me how much of estradiol I'm actually getting if I use 2-3 pumps of Estrogel? Thank you!!
[/quote]
A normally cycling adult woman produces 70 to 500 mcg of estradiol daily, depending on the phase of the menstrual cycle.
As far as estradiol gels go - only a certain percentage of the hormone in the gel applied is actually delivered into the bloodstream. A woman doesn't receive the whole amount that she is applying. The doses are calculated to give serum levels approximating to phases of a normal menstrual cycle, not to load up a woman's body with supraphysiological levels of oestrogen.

Candy, you are a treasure!! So then I actually have almost average levels of 53 pg/ml from 2 pumps! Maybe Pinky is producing also her own estrogen, that's why her higher levels?
thank you so much!

Apparently, many posts have been deleted so it's quite hard to understand the threads... Why has this happened?
I hope rusalka has achieved a balanced HRT.
