Estratest HS-headaches, short tempered, no increase in Libido

Hi Ladies,

An advice would be very much appreciated. I just changed over to Estratest HS, will be 2wks on Monday. I switched due to the fact that the libido was gone and that was the only reason.

Well, since I've started it I've noticed that I have been getting headaches almost daily, I have a very short temper, and the libido has not changed. Is this to soon to judge if it's gonna work out for me? I think it is to early to know but I just need some opinions. I was previously on Estrace.

Thanks,

I had the same experience on Estratest. At the time I wasn't thinking about the libido. It was just what I was put on after surgery. I found my libido with testosterone cream. A friend of mine prefers hers in a shot with her estrogen. She doesn't handle the patch well.
I finally got to the point where my whole body hurt on estratest and I stayed very angry all the time. Switching to something different wasn't too bad as Estratest doesn't have a lot of estrogen in it compared to the dose of testosterone that you get and it's also a synthetic form of hrt.
Hope to hear that you feel better soon.

JUST TO LET YOU KNOW I JUST STARTED ESTRATEST YESTERDAY..I BREAK IT IN HALF BECAUSE I AM VERY CHEMICAL SENSITVE TO ALL DRUGS.I WAS AFRAID TO START IT BECAUSE I READ ALL THE SIDE AFFECTS.WOW..BUT I JUST DROPPED INTO MENOPAUSE[SO I WAS TOLD].MY OVARY THAT I WAS LEFT WITH AFTER MY SURGERY[EVERYTHING ELSE IS GONE]ISNT PUTTING OUT ENOUGH HORMONES I WAS TOLD.I FEEL DIZZY A LITTLE BUT NOTHING MAJOR.I THINK IT IS TOO SOON TO TELL.OH, IT IS MAKING ME FEEL SLEEPY.I AM NOT SURE IF IT IS SUPPOSED TO DO THAT.
