For Postmenopausal Symptoms "I just turned 50 and for a few months now I have not felt like myself. I had a partial hysterectomy in 2021. They took my uterus, left my ovaries, but the depression and the anxiety and irritability and fatigue and headaches and all of that just ramped up after. I have always suffered from migraines, but everything just seemed to get worse and at 50 I should not be feeling this bad because I take care of myself. I finally decided to try estradiol. I started at the lowest dose 0.025 mg, change it once a week - so far the patches stay on. I put it on my shoulder though where there’s no friction, so maybe that’s why it’s not falling off. I’m only on day four, but I have noticed a difference in my mood. It seems better. Eventually I might have to raise the dose but for now I am just thankful that there are options for us. I am taking the Sandoz brand of estradiol. I sure am hoping that this is my answer because per menopause/menopause = no fun."

Estradiol for Postmenopausal Symptoms "I've had my patches upped due to the 50 stopping working. I've been on them a week, and I'm back to night flushes, headaches, and extremely sore breasts. Is this natural? When I was on 50, I had no problems until they stopped working. I find the patches stick quite well, no problems falling off. Need advice."

Estradiol for Postmenopausal Symptoms "I used Estradot for exactly 1 hour and a half. I took it off because it made me so sick-so nauseous and a massive headache. I took it on a Friday, and it is now Friday again, and I am still nauseous, it won’t go away. I am in tears because I feel sick all the time."

Estradiol for Postmenopausal Symptoms "Absolutely fabulous! Used Estriadot - shortage. Used Evorel - not good - now this - good all around on MX 100, hot flushes gone. Initially a headache, eased off. I hope I can stay on this."
