Stopped the Estrogen .............

I stopped taking my estradiol (with doctors approval) and I feel 100 time better!!!!!!!! I haven't cried in over a 5 days and have been in a good mood and upbeat too! feeling so much better, I go for my 6 week check up on Tuesday will give a full report.

Great news!! I am so happy to see you finally feeling better. I was really getting worried about you. Have you had any menopausal symptoms yet? Keep us posted on how you are feeling. God bless!!

Cherrykitty.....That's really great news !
I've been reading your posts and know you've been having a LOT of trouble....I'm so glad for you. Onward and upward !

(Knock on wood) no symptoms yet!!!!!! I would be so happy if it could stay like that becasue I so dislike how the estrogen made me feel, I will be sure to keep you updated, how the heck are you doing?

I am doing pretty good, thanks for asking. I am on HRT, the lowest dosage. So far it is working perfect for me. The only symptom is insomnia which I can handle. I am doing great and feeling better and better everyday. I am so glad to have no pain!!

YEAH Cherrykitty woman!!!
This is the best news I have read in quite a while! Good for YOU!!! Your news makes me want to do a cartwheel, but I think I would pull a stitch, and besides I haven't turned a cartwheel in, oh... I'm guessing about 30 years. LOL. I am just so VERY VERY happy for you right now. YOU GO GIRL!

Oh you silly silly lady!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we could go dancing together! you lead I'll follow yes what a difference a week has made I feel alot better!!!! plus we arent running out of tissues around here anymore!!!!!!!

I want to stop the estrogen too!!! HELP!! I am 10 weeks post op - I am taking estrotest HS (the lowest dosage) I have headaches and nausea and insomnia when I take it - sort of depressed if I don't take it. keep me posted if you have hot flashes or night sweats. I think I would rather live with that than the headaches and nausea.

I know how you feel hun~ I wa only on 1 mg. a day and it was effecting me that much, but I have alwyus been so overly sensitive to estrogen I had taken that saliva test at least 5 times and it always came back with sky-high levels of estogen and low progesterone, it feels like a no win situation do you pick headaches/stomaches over depression? but it's just one of things we are going to have to figure out (with the help of our doctors) and see what makes us feel the best, I wish you luck.

Cherry~ My friend is seeing a endocronologist...forgive the spelling but she didn't want all the side effects of hormones and wanted to try something more natural.Have you try this route?It may help. good luck
