I had a private blood test done with a meno specialist who will get back to me. She said I sounded low in oestrogen and wanted to check. she's emailed the results last night. it was taken mid cycle and was 416.

looking at the ranges it can be anywhere between 151 and 1461 at the ovulation part of the cycle.

Obviously I will chat with her again soon and get her recommendations and possibly testosterone added.

is the reading a bit low?

thanks

Hi  :)
Follow up with the doctor is a good idea.

I was told to aim for levels around 200-300, but it is dependent on symptom control. My last one was 400 ish, but that was with a fresh patch and after a splodge of Oestrogen cream.
How were you feeling with that level?

Thanks salad, The reason I got in touch with a specialist is because I have a really irregular cycle that gives me awful nausea, I also take utrogestan every day at night,  as well as vagifem twice a week.

I ache, seemed to have developed digestive issues, missing libido. fatigue, hideous headaches, cant concentrate or remember anything. Get my words mixed up and feel stress very quickly.

Oh wow, no wonder you saw the Specialist, poor you.
Hopefully the Specialist will take control and offer a treatment plan for you. It feels so overwhelming at times.
Hope you get seen soon  :)
