Title: Androfem and Estrogen
Post by: Flan747 on October 13, 2021, 04:32:34 PM

Hi ladies I’m now week 5 on Androfem alongside my 6 pumps of gel and Utrogestron! Thing are going well but last 2 days I’ve had awful nausea lime I used to when I changed dose! Does testosterone effect estrogen and could this be the problem?

I thought it only affected oestrogen levels if taking oral oestrogen but I may be wrong. I guess you could use one pump less of oestrogen to see if it makes any difference. Are you post menopause or peri, as if peri your own hormones will be rising and falling which muddies the waters.

Hi Gnatty! I’m peri! Yes I did think about the fluctuations! So frustrating as I had 2 weeks of good days and haven’t had that in over 2 years!
