Hi, it's Hera again. Wanted to check in to see how you are doing since you got your second implant. I am having a really negative time. Am so disappointed. Got a second estrogen pellet about a month ago as Dr. felt my levels were still too low and when I had the blood work she said my body was really soaking it up but my levels weren't changing that much and I am so depressed! Now she is saying that some people don't seem able to use hormones effectively and that they impact the body in ways similar to anti-depressants (I am pretty resistant to them also). I don't know what to do--she said it's possible the estrogen is worsening my depression! I like the testosterone (you're right, she said the t patch is not available in US but can get cream compounded). She wanted me to try an estrogen ring just to see if I would feel worse or better with even more estrogen but was unable to buy less than a 3 month supply and she wanted me to try for just 2 weeks. I am just so disappointed. Also haven't found a form of progesterone that is working--did the vaginal cream last month and it's a bit of a pain, still caused some stomach discomfort. Like I said previously, I have gained ovver 10 lbs despite the fact that I work out extensively. So what have your results been now. Anyone else having negative effects.
