Hi,
I don't know if anyone can answer and I understand that people absorb oestrogen differently.
If on 50 estradot, how much would that be responsible for a high oestrogen reading? My oestrogen was 2058 at last test - how much of that would be my own natural fluctuation? Are we talking a hundred or so or more like a thousand? I'm at a loss of how to proceed.
Thanks

Hi floraljo - a 50 mcg patch would not be responsible for that high oestrogen reading and it will be down to your own cycle. Oestrogen reaches a high peak (which varies between women) around the time of ovulation. The patch will help bring your base oestrogen level up so that it doesn't drop quite so low at the lowest point in the cycle which is reached just before the bleed and just after the bleed starts - in a normal cycle, and it is the time when most women feel at their lowest - classic pms (though the progesterone withdrawal crash is also partly responsible).
