Hi there,
thought id update.

I saw the specialist and she prescribed FemSeven 75mcg (this is just oestrogen), no progesterone apparently this is allowed for a short period of time. I think she wanted to check if I was actually depressed or if it was the progesterone causing the mental health problems

I felt like I was on a cloud of oestrogen for days, it was awesome, I stopped feeling terrible, my brain started working nearly normal again.

They also took a blood test at the time of the appointment and the results came in a few days ago and it says I have quite high oestrogen 700+, 300ish is normal. That took me totally by surprise, a bit gobsmacked as I was feeling terrible at the time with no stress resistance at all, so the extra oestrogen I was taking to help with mood though working in a fashion has resulted in elevated oestrogen.

I am not taking any extra now, just the patch prescribed and its ok, personally id like to try 100 and see if it take my brain totally back to normal.

She also prescribed testosterone (a small blob every day) and I think it has a positive effect, as it helps with energy, my skin and muscle tone look better and I have a sex drive again  Its amazing how much the menopause destroys.

The plan before the oestrogen results was that we would try bioidentical progesterone (pill form) along with the patch and see how that works and if that doesn't then try the mirena thingy (that protects the uterus but is a bit intrusive but does not cause progesterone coursing through your body causing mental health and emotional problems.

I'm not sure what the plan is after the discovery of the oestrogen, I have to tell her how I feel which is much much much better, I get things done that before took a ton of mental preparation and psyching up.
