This is great news you are experiencing so many positive things after your fourth insertion. I, too, felt very energetic, slept like a baby, no hot flashes, etc., however after the third or fourth insertion, I could never reach the "high" feeling from that first insertion. It just was not there, despite the increasing doses given. I kept on inserting for two years (going in every three/four months) until I was told I had fibroids, then a year later, Stage 0 DCIS breast cancer. All doctors on my breast cancer team concluded the pellets gave me these problems so I went for an immediate mastectomy to avoid impending radiation or chemo down the road in 2013. I am to stay far away from the pellets and any types of HRT I was told. In fact, my diet is so anti-estrogenic, my weight is naturally low being plant based now. When I stopped the pellets, my hair came back thicker, however my stamina is not there like it was with the pellets and I do not sleep as well - two things I will trade not to risk cancer. While everyone's machine runs different, I still say "caveat emptor" to anyone taking the pellets long term which, are not FDA regulated, and we really do not know exactly the amounts that are being injected, etc. even though we are told. Perhaps good for short term use to get a pre-menopausal woman balanced out, but not good for long term use. Going on age 62 in 2015, at 5'7", I weigh 123 and am convinced it is from my plant based diet consuming no meats, etc. injected estrogen/antibiotics/steroids and no packaged/processed foods. I am now achieving the same benefits from diet as I was from the pellets.
