I am following the weaning schedule as you described in your reply. I started by taking Premarin (0.3 mg) every other day in June. In July I started taking Premarin every third day. I was fine with every other day, however every third day is a challenge and I am not doing well. My sleep is disrupted with hot-flashes and I am lethargic with low energy. I felt so bad this week that I actually took an extra Premarin to get through one day earlier in the week.
I discussed these plans with my endocrinologist. He gave me a lab order to have the thyroid levels checked after I am completely weaned from the Premarin, if that ever happens!
My uterus and ovaries were removed during surgery for "adhesions following a c-section" and a "cystic right ovary", even though I explained to my doctor that I did not want him to remove my uterus and both ovaries. When I woke-up following surgery and learned that he took everything the nursing staff had to sedate me because I was so upset. I think it was simply easier for him to remove everything instead of removing the adhesions.
