I was suppose to have sottopelle pellets implanted this past Monday but I chickened out after all of the negative things I read on this site. I am concerned. I do not want to lose more hair than I am losing already. I do not want to get breast cancer or sound like a man or get acne all over. I had my hormones tested and the doctor told me that I am 22 for testosterone and that I need to be between 70-150. He wanted to give me 125 of testosterone in the pellet. My estrogen was 73 and he told me that 58-78 was normal so he was going to give me 6 of the estrogen pellet. My progesterone was 7.7 which he said was high. I am not sure what normal is for hormone levels. Does having low testosterone cause hair loss?? I am not sure if I should try the cream for estrogen and testosterone and take a pill for progesterone? I do not want worse symptoms. I have trouble sleeping and my hair I falling out. I am just starting menopause. I still get my periods regularly but I do not get hot flashes or sweat yet. I am usually freezing and I live in Florida. Can anyone give me some feed back on these questions I have. I would really appreciate it. I have only gone to this gyn/ob once and do not trust that he is telling me everything. He wants to sell the pellets to make money I am sure. He said there really is no bad side effects that his patients have encountered.
