[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 272558, member: 1233"] One thing I learned from my OB/GYN is to not put 100% faith in the blood work. Tests can show hormones in the right range and you still feel miserable. Or you feel fine and tests are not where the doctor would like them to be. So be SURE to make how you FEEL a BIG part of decision making for your hormones. I do just fine on the estrogen only. right after the surgery they put me on a patch, which got me through the week after the surgery. Then I was on tablets and given a range to adjust them within to see where I felt best. For ME the plain estrogen seems to do just fine. None of the menopause symptoms. One of my bff's from high school had horrible luck with the regular replacement hormones. She had a hysterectomy because her cycle has been intensely painful from the very first time. Treatment for endometriosis did nothing, though seh had a rampant problem with it. We ended up with hysterectomies with-in 4 months of each other (and each of our kids is with-in 4 months of each others - and we were out of touch for 15 years!!). It wasn't until she went with bioidentical hormones through a doctor who does nothing but those that she had ANY relief. It made a huge difference in her quality of life. I really hope this helps you. [/QUOTE]
