My provider said that exact thing about estrogen… that she wouldn’t prescribe it because I still have a cycle. She is a big supporter of hrt generally. What info can I share with her?

[@claudiapetrillihealthcoach8545]

I would give her a list of low estrogen symptoms that you have 💗

Since starting my Estradiol .25mg patch and 100 of Progesterone my blood sugar has been very high. I am diabetic and wear a Dexcom continuous glucose monitor. I am trying the hormones to hopefully address shortness of breath for 2 weeks prior to my period every single month for years now. Any thoughts or suggestions on this issue of higher blood glucose?

[@evianevans292]

Try intermittent fasting, i eat 2 meals a day 3-5 hours apart and fast 12-16 a hours a day and my fasted glucose level went from 105 to 85 in two months i also went semi keto by just cutting out process carbs and replacing half the flour i use with zero carb flour, cream cheese and pork rinds panko and making alot of meat and fruit jerky for snacks

[@claudiapetrillihealthcoach8545]

You’re certain your blood sugar is high since starting them? And are you testing glucose, HbA1c and insulin? I wouldn’t rely on glucose alone. And so many factors here - not sure what your diet is like, stress level, etc.

[@nicolematthews5930]

Yes I wear the Dexcom G7 and have been for many years. I have data from before and now during. I also have bloodwork every 3 months.

Everything and I mean EVERYTHING is for HRT but what about BHRT? Am I suppose to fall in line with hrt stuff when i'm on bhrt or is that a horse of a different color?

[@claudiapetrillihealthcoach8545]

Not sure I understand your question. I use the terms BHRT and HRT interchangeably - but I’m always referring to bioidentical hormones.

Replacement Therapy is better than nothing but the root causes of hormonal imbalance was hidden from us in plain sight, having us focusing on the major function of the ovaries and not their main function. This is where the subtleness lies !
