Estradiol: Day 2

Well. Well. Well.

...have a sec? You've GOT to hear THIS.

Within 45 min of taking my first dose of estrogen and progesterone, I was fast asleep.

Deep, languid, fluid, Absinthyth-like induced sleep. I haven't slept like that in years. YEARS.

I barely made it to my pillow after posting the Day 1 entry- I cut it short bc my eyes were heavy and

I invite medical experts to join us here from time to time, but I am not one nor do I claim to be. Can we get on with it now?

*Progesterone 100mg daily (considering pulling back on this)

“Estrogen decides everything.” ― Marie Hoäg, MBA

The more that I read, the more fascinated I become by how controversial Estrogen use has been in the past 19 years as a direct result of the Women's Health Initiative posting their findings on Estrogen in 2002. The findings from the study scared the bejesus out of women and physicians alike and that study is THE reason that you may have heard that Estrogen causes menopause.

Ever passed on the edamame when out for sushi because you don't want to raise your estrogen and get breast cancer? Thank the WHI Study.

Seriously. One Study. One study with very questionable reporting metrics when closely examined. I am on the scent and taking a deep dive- is it possible that we have been terrified about using estrogen based on a flawed, biased, and financially motivated study initiated with the goal of bashing estrogen.

But, why...? Stay tuned, in my free time I will unearth and share as much dirt as I can dig up. Meanwhile, here's a handy HRT timeline .

oh, Dr. Avrum Blumming has a LOT to say about the matter. Planning to reach out to him as well.

Hold up. Before anyone gives me a piece of their mind for being Pro- Estrogen, may I remind you of one thing: this is MY blog about MY experiences. My body. My choices. My experiences. My right to change MY mind about MY HRT at any time.

Pull up a chair and get cozy, who knows what will happen next around here so, just enjoy it and if you have a strong opinion, by all means, share it in the comments.
