Hello
I think I could have oestrogen dominance presently. Over recent months I'm getting a hike up in histamine symptoms the first half of my cycle. It improves weeks 3-4. I'm 52, perimenopausal, have my own cycle and on prescribed body identical HRT (Oestrogel continuous and Utrogestan vaginal, cyclical). I can't use Utrogestan continually, it messes my bleeds up and makes me feel awful.
I'm wondering if I'd do better on progesterone monotherapy?
Has anyone here found progesterone only (e.g. bioidentical progesterone cream), helped with their histamine symptoms?
If yes, I'm wondering how to transition from my prescribed HRT to progesterone only cream?
I can't take synthetic antihistamines, they give me side effects. Natural antihistamines aren't helping. I've stopped fermented foods but ok with other histamine foods e.g. tomatoes, avocados, spinach.
I need to sort this out. The histamine is making my life a misery.
