My hormone tests showed the only thing unusual is a sky high estrogen level three days before my period started, so she put me on the new low dose Activella on the theory that eventually when my brain realizes that I have estrogen it will stop producing estrogen spikes. (The new low dose form of Activella has 0.5 mg of allegedly bioidentical plant derived estrogen, and 0.1 mg of plant derived but not bioidentical norestrindone acetate.)

I asked how long it will take this to happen instead of the additional estrogen making my estrogen levels still higher. She said not immediately and that is why she scheduled my next appointment in six weeks.

First thing that's happening is my allergies, which are one of the two problems most driving me bats, are instantly much worse. Not sure I'm going to survive no six weeks. Not doing wonders for my temperature levels or my mood either.

Is this strategy at all likely to work, and how much time should I give it?

Yours,
Dora
