The last two weeks feeling strange, hot flushes returned, mind fuzzy, and bit sick in stomach, a little anxious- therefore I feel I need some oestrogen??
Jenny replies Yes. If it was not enough progesterone these symptoms could be mistaken with my term, an oestrogen dominance wake up crises and you would not have been symptom free till now. However as you have been, it indicates oestrogen withdrawal, given your history on Livial. So you need to top up and once calm again, back off i.e. a wean in and out approach on oestrogen as required, as you do not want to get into oestrogen dominance with over supplementing on oestrogen. It will start to accumulate in your body and store in fat cells. Please read sections throughout both books referring to weaning off oestrogen. Bringing oestrogen back in to the body is often necessary for many women, especially on long term oestrogen therapy as the brain has got use to a pre-set threshold level and starts to panic when this drops (as in stopping HRT combinations or oestrogen alone therapy). Your body will eventually adjust and then you can work on minimal doses or may only need, in time, phytooestr
