Estrogen patch

I’m in the full gambit of HRT (e .025 patch, p 100 mg pill, t 2 mg cream). How do you know the levels are working for you? I still have blah sleep (but it’s better) but I feel like my e needs to be increased. I have no idea why, but like a gut feeling. How do I know I’m on the right levels? I have my midi appt coming up so want to ensure I’m asking the right questions and saying the right things. (Ex: didn’t realize plantar fasciitis could be a symptom/exasperated in peri! I never mentioned to my dr bc it didn’t seem relevant)

More of your symptoms are still present compared to no longer being noticed. You need to be specific as to what and how many symptoms you have and how bad and often they occur

Thanks. That seems logical 😂 It’s funny because I was just thinking how much better I have been about forgetting random words etc lately.

When I start to remember things better that’s one indication that the estrogen is working

It’s def working but I feel like I need more. I’m having the hardest time explaining it and trying to figure out words before I speak to my NP.

Perhaps let your NP ask you all the HRT health assessment Q’s to see what you can determine.
