Re: no hormones & added 20 pounds help!

The intolerance to heat, leg cramps, and thinning hair are also symptoms of low estrogen. I'm on thyroid meds too. I'm now using oral estrogen (estrace)and I seem to be doing ok. They do impact eachother and when you change one you have to check the other 6-12 weeks later. It's a delicate balance for sure

Do you see an endocrinologist for your thyroid? Does your Dr. do a full thyroid study (Free T3, Free T4, and TSH)? Has the Dr. done bloodwork to check your estradiol level? What are you using for estrogen replacement?
