Title: Help, reading professor stud trying to see what's left for me.
Post by: Butterfly22 on November 13, 2017, 03:52:58 PM

I've been reading up on professor stud, I cannot take a lot of HRT due to side effects, I seem to be ok with ustrogen but it's finding an estrogen I'm ok with with.

I've tried almost everything, I've been on Duavive last couple of months but my mood is getting worse, feeling extremely low and getting worse.

I've tried both gels which make my ME worse due to the ALCHOL in them.
Estrodot gave me acne
Everol Made my ME really bad (couldn't get out of bed)
Femseven made me really angry

Is estroderm mx patch and progynova different and still available ? Is the elleste solo patch the same as tablet? I'm so confused I'm at doctors tomorrow and could really do with some advice.
Thank you xx

Have you considered Tibolone (Livial?) It is not an estrogen but acts like one.

It does not act on the uterus so you would not need a progesterone.

Good luck

Hi are you on HRT at the moment? I tried different HRT for 6 years & finally gave up 6 months ago to go no HRT. During those 6 years I tried so many that I don't think my body knew if it was coming or going & so thought I would give it a rest. Have you tried any natural products?

Hi Paisley thanks for your reply, I have tried no HRT but I started the menopause at 25 (43 now) and don't want the menopause symptoms until I'm 55/65 as the doctor said that's what will happen, I also have osteperina so I worry about my bones.

I'm just making notes as not at doctors until 3. I don't no how much craziness I can take, like you my body dose not no what the hell is going on.
Hope your ok xx

Hi I've tried every type of hrt going and the one that's best for me is premarin. I know it's not always a popular choice however it has been brilliant for me.
