Estrogen ???
« on: January 29, 2022, 08:07:42 AM »

Hi, I have posted on here with headaches but also feel achy and mood swings.  Sometimes feel like hiding away from everyone.  Period for 3 weeks now.  My question is how do you know if your estrogen is too high or too low? X

Hi sammas, it's a good question and one I've searched for an answer for over the last 4 years myself, are you on hrt?, it's so hard to know because if you research the symptoms of too high/too low for estrogen the symptoms are pretty much identical, I know blood tests are unreliable but I would think it would be the only way to know but in peri that would be more unreliable than post, can't tell you for sure how you know, but just wanted to say I'm in the same situation if you are on hrt try different doses and see what happens with your symptoms, my gp won't test estrogen levels says they go off how you feel, which isn't that helpful when you can't get the balance right, but I can say headaches are definitely what I get with too much along with sweats, but everyone is so different, hope you find some relief soon.

Thanks so much for your reply amazing grace.  I’m on Everol Sequi 50 and have been for a few years.  It’s more recently the longer periods and increased headaches.  I do have some stress going on as well which prob doesn’t help. X
