Title: Dreading the switch back to Estradiol
Post by: KaraShannon on August 18, 2022, 08:46:51 PM
 Hi everyone

Some of you know I was on 3 months of unopposed continuous estradiol and was feeling pretty unwell with postural hypotension that was pretty severe, and other problems with movement and energy etc, plus headaches, dizziness.

I decided to take the norehisterone again (original plan was to change to utrogestan but I had a reaction) and I immediately started feeling better. 
Energy came back, palpitations went away, postural hypotension disappeared.

Just getting used to that and tonight I have to change back to estradiol (on evorel sequi).

I have to catch the doctor's to book a routine appointment as they will then discuss my estradiol blood test with me.  I think I'll call them tomorrow and ask again can I just have the result as I think 100 might be too high for me. 


Dreading putting the 100 estradiol on, but don't want to be out of sync  :-\
