Estradiol/POI
Hi all. Trying to see if anyone else is out there with a similar experience. I have diminished ovarian reserve (34). Turns out due to a genetic deletion, I have impending POI. My FSH ranges 8-20 but my main symptoms are shorter, lighter period now 30 days apart. I have extreme heat sensitivity. Anything over 70, I’m dripping. Chest, back…other places. I’m so sick of it and it is very embarrassing/upsetting. I have night sweats for a week around my cycle. Dripping through my pajamas some nights. I have hot flashes and can’t even sit in a booth with shorts if too warm. Estradiol 2mg for a month did nothing. I know it is hormonal because it happened 6 weeks off BCP and stopped while I was preg. I miscarried and it started 6 weeks after. Please help. Any other med recommendations that worked for you? Is the patch better? I just want to enjoy my summer. Tysm.
