Ladies, can we talk Hormone Replacement Therapy???
Thank you so much for sharing your story! I hope that you don't have to ever deal with the big C since you've taken great steps to prevent it.
I did some reading last night (as much as I hate it), and I think I'm going to continue on... I need my mind back! LOL

I have an appointment with a new dr to try hormone pellets. I have been taking progesterone capsules since 2017 but since the DS they don't seem to absorb that well. I'm up to 3 capsules a night which is a big dose, so I am hopeful that the pellets don't hurt, and that the pellet is absorbed better than the pills. My boobs started aching as soon as I tried to go off the progesterone capsules, so I guess it is doing something but not enough in regards to insomnia and brain function. I'm 42 and down 135 lbs from my highest, still menstruating.
my estradiol was 111
testosterone was 20
fsh 9.5

I will tell you right away, the adverse effects dissolved by themselves after stopping about two weeks; at the same time, I did not do any CPT (after course therapy) on purpose to see if the damage was severe (although gonadorelin was in the fridge just in case). And all thanks to the fact that I used the whole course of rats.army correctly. I took tests, all my hormones are standard, and the free has risen to almost the maximum limit. Good luck, and do not indulge in anything like that; if you are not a professional athlete, believe me, it is not worth it! Trust me; it is not worth it! Professional sports and health never go hand in hand!
