Wow. That is so interesting.
So your estrogen back at your worst Dangermouse is almost exactly as mine reads now. However, you had prog of 29.1, mine is 3.5
. No wonder I'm feeling so dreadful all the time.
Also, really interesting to see your prog went up after supplementing with cream (can you recall what dose you were at at that point?)
I find it incredibly reassuring that you have no low estrogen symptoms. Long may it continue for you. And I hope my sensitivity to estrogen results in me being in the same boat when mine drops 😁.
It's clear there are not many of us in this position, on this forum. However, that fb group you mentioned is full of people like this. I do take a lot of it with a pinch of salt as its an American fb page after all, but it does help a little.
Mary - thanks so much for the reassurance. I have already had a scan. The clinic would not treat me with any hormones without one. I found it incredibly reassuring. And not as expensive as some other parts of the treatment, so well worthwhile. I also had to have a mammogram and I'm not in the age bracket for that on the NHS yet. So I agree, it's all very carefully monitored.
Actually, when I went for my mamo at the private hosp, the radiologist commented on how many women in their 40s are coming for scans so they can attend hormone clinics...
The NHS has some catching up to do. I may be wrong, but my hunch is we're the generation that took the pill non stop... I think it may have unbalanced ultimately. 🤷♀️
