Title: Estrogen levels
Post by: Sazzle42115 on August 24, 2021, 04:41:24 PM

What is the desirable estrogen level for post menopause...my latest reading is 78pmol/L

At least 250 pmol/l for bone protection. 78 pmol/l is very low if you are on HRT.

As Joaniepat said, at least 250 pool/L.  Preferably more.  Around 400 - 500 perhaps, or where you feel good.

How far down in postmenopause should you be for your orstrogen to reach 78 pmol?  I haven't had a bleed for almost 18 months and my oestradiol was 586 pmol.  I've never been on HRT.
