Hi everyone
I'm on Evorel Sequi, but as some of you know I've been told I can take supplemental estradiol with it. So I'm on Estradiol 100 this time, the combined Norehisterone is over for another 2 weeks.
I always feel better with the Norehisterone. I'm then ok for a the first one or two Estradiol only patches and then it all seems to get a bit much for my body.
I feel like my body has only just started 'recovering' from all the stress (physiological sense of stress) and it's time to go back onto Estradiol.
I didn't feel like this on lower doses of Estradiol. Still haven't managed to see a doctor, I'm wondering whether to just lower the Estradiol down to 75 and see how I feel. I'm not looking foward to feeling weird again, getting head zaps and postural hypotension. Norehisterone seems to alleviate all that but I only just start to feel better and it's time to change back.
Thoughts?
If I lower the Estradiol how quickly will I notice problems if that wasn't what was needed? Immediately? Or a week or so? I don't want to mess things up until I've got my Estradiol blood test results but reception keep telling me that I need to book a routine appointment (yet to be able to) and that they have no numbers on their screen. The blood test was done in august.
