Hi girls,
Recently I have been having my hormones compounded because every
traditional HRT sent me into flares. Right now, I'm on TRI-EST at .125 estriol,
.125 estrone, and 1 mg of estrodiol. It is definately helping my bladder and no
flares. However, it has not had the same effect that Premarin did on my sex
drive. I'm thinking the dosage is still to low. Is anyone else on a Tri-Est natural
hormone combination and if so, please share your experience with getting the
levels right. If I could just get the libido back, I would be thrilled! When I took
Premarin, I did not seem to need the testosterone. To bad that I was unable to
tolerate equine estrogens. I'm just wondering if this "natural" hormone
combination is going to be strong enough? If anyone else is using natural
hormones being compounded, please post your dosage and experiences.

Sherry, thanks for talking with me lastnight
about the hormones. My GYN Practitioner
called me back and is going to order the
natural estrogen and she said that since
my mom died of breast cancer at an early
age that I also need to take the natural
progesterone with it. That is not the
same as the Progesterone (progestin) that
Dr.'s order that is harmful to the bladder.
She said she went to a lecture about
the compounding hormones this summer and
she sounded very knoweledgeable.
I also read today that for some people who
have decreased libido that compounded natural progesterone does help along
with the compounded estrogen. Just a
thought. My e-mail is [email protected] BEv
