I began the Sottopelle pellets summer of 2010 at age 58, postmenopausal for 8 years. Within the week, my hot flashes were gone and sleep quality started to get back to normal. Energy was through the roof. My estrogen prior to insertion was 8 and testosterone was 17. My estrogen was boosted to over 100 and testosterone was 300, sometimes all the way to 600 with further insertions. I could have leaped a building in a single bound with energy. Having a uterus, I took bio-identical progesterone as well. Within 4 months, I began to bleed. Sick of the bleeding I consulted gynecologist who performed a D&C and hysteroscopy. I had suddenly developed fibroids. A hysterectomy was recommended, but I said no way...just let the estrogen wind down. After over a year, the bleeding every day stopped and took two years for the fibroids to shrink to nothing. From that point, I only had testosterone pellets inserted, not estrogen. In January, 2013, I found a breast lump, luckily it was Stage 0 DCIS, had lumpectomy, did not get clear margins, had MRI/MRI biopsy and a re-excision. Still did not get clear margins. The DCIS started to turn to LCIS and spread throughout breast extensively, but not invasively which led me to have a mastectomy so I did not have to take radiation or drugs. I had none of these problems before taking Sottopelle therapy. My waist length hair thinned 50 percent. Doctors often fail to tell you that testosterone morphs into estrogen in the female body and can do further harm. Had I known I would have had all these problems, not to mention the expense and pain, I would have stayed far away from any kind of bio- identical therapy. I am a one year cancer survivor this month and have not taken Sottopelle for 2.5 yrs. now, no other hormones, switched to a plant based diet, hair is back long and thick now. I stay away from anything estrogenic now. Sottopelle may work in the short term for some women/men, but be prepared for consequences and do not miss out on your annual screenings should you go this route. Paying out of pocket for an annual breast MRI should be recommended by the doctors providing this product. Caveat Emptor.
