Great to see the discussion, I will come back and read properly once I know how my work week is organising itself.
Meanwhile just to add that 'somehow'
I actually ordered iHerb estrogen cream (I can't remember doing it which is scary, lol, but it's just red clover and phytoestrogens from first glance). Because I have to be really sure about applying to the face and have to read up a lot more, I just tried a little externally down below, not anywhere internally, well onto external skin only and very tiny amount. After only one night I did notice pelvic floor felt stronger (but it starts to feel that way after switching back to estradiol from combined anyway so that might compound what I'm saying) and there was a lift in my mood (though my mood hadn't been bad before I did feel 'bright.'). I also had vivid dreams. All in all remember waking feeling restored
that was a test and I'm not going to use it regularly until I've got proper advice, but interested what people here think. I would have thought it would be less strong than something like ovestin, but I don't know and we all must stay safe with these things. What do other's think?
edited to add might have been a placebo effect, but we know when we feel better don't we, it was subtle but I did feel better.
