Hello. I need some help...

I'm trying to switch from ethynil estradiol (0,035 mg per day) to oestrogel. What dose of oestrogel is preferred after consuming ethynil?
I heard after ethynil natural-like estrogens will be less effective because of receptor's tolerance stuff...

Also what amout of gel is equivalent to oral 17-beta esradiol?

I started on 2mg after a week of feeling TERRIBLE on 4-6, but I've been taking 4mg a day now for the past two months ( Read more... )

Anyone hear about a once a month estrogen delivery system?

I think I'm in hormonal lust!
