Hi. I’m sorry to cut into your thread. I’ve been on the compounded BHRT creams for about 20 years. I would like to know how the pellets are working for you? Also, which hormones and ratios are you on? I was on the
Bi-est 60/40 (Estriol/Estradiol) and then Progesterone cream for about 10 years and did very well on it until last year after I turned 60. I went to a Functional Medicine doctor and he put me on a combined compounded hormone cream with Estradiol/Progesterone/Testosterone/DHEA (1MG/100MG/1.25MG/10MG). But, I had to have the Testosterone dropped down to half because my hair was shedding, while hair was growing other places, my skin was turning jaundice and I keep getting UTI’s. Which, I found out that Testosterone can cause chronic UTIs and Jaundice. Since then, I’ve cut my whole dosage of everything in half because I was still having the jaundice effect and I haven’t been able to get ahold of my OB-GYN to have her have the Testosterone cut down another half or just removed completely. My hair has stopped shedding finally, but now I feel tired all the time, no energy and don’t sleep well. I’ve also been using Estriol vaginal cream 2-3 times a week. Which, I’m thinking I need more or something because I’m still having the Genitourinary syndrome of menopause symptoms and a painful bladder. It’s hard figuring what the best ratios are. But, I think I would love to go to the pellets if and when I can get my hormones back in balance again. I think it would be more consistent and be so much more convenient.
