Estrogen Cypionate dosage

[Wolverine]

Are any female members or male member’s wives taking estrogen Cypionate? If so, what is the dose? My wife was prescribed it and has all the signs of excess estrogen and feels terrible. Thanks!

What is the reason for taking estrogen other than the doctor is terrible? Have her find the doctor who will advise her to stop the exogenous estrogen and start taking progesterone.

I don't know much about HRT for women other than some Estrogen is necessary I believe for sexual function and brain/bone/heart health, but of course numbers matter.

Reddit is a cesspool but the steroidsxx sub I think has decent members and info for women specifically, and I think there's a femaleTRT or femaleHRT sub as well you could check out. I'm sure there are others dedicated to women specifically where you might find good information.

I also remember an interview with an Ob-Gyn who does HRT on youtube and she was talking about how she feels better just taking Testosterone and I'm pretty sure she was saying that she gets enough Estrogen from the small amount of conversion from the Test.

There you go, apparently she just made a new one a couple months ago, haven't watched it yet but might be helpful:

EDIT: Apparently she takes Estrogen also now, I think she was mentioning only taking Test in the older interview. Either way some interesting info in those videos.

I have a bias, but one based on experience. I give weight to the bioenergetics / Ray Peat perspective.

Thank you for your insights/information! I'll review these videos. My wife and I are treated by Defy who I trust. Her estrogen levels were low. She is also taking progesterone and testosterone.

Last point. To be clear I am not suggesting one should artificially lower estrogen. I am referring only to exogenous estrogen supplementation. I hope your spouse knows why it is being prescribed. If it is to treat symptoms of menopause or osteoporosis respectfully I believe that is a huge mistake. My comment is not directed at any provider. But that wisdom is going to have to be revisited.
From Georgi Dinkov:
"All in all, based on this study, one can/should conclude that: 1) menopause is NOT a condition of estrogen deficiency, but rather an excess; 2) an antiestrogen is thus likely beneficial for most/all symptoms of menopause; 3) osteoporosis, obesity, insulin resistance and diabetes, even in absence of menopause, are likely driven by excess estrogen and opposing estrogen can be beneficial; 4) DHEA mimics the effects of an antiestrogen when used in proper doses and is synergistic when used with an antiestrogen."

Blocking estrogen (and/or taking DHEA) prevents menopausal obesity, diabetes, osteoporosis, etc – To Extract Knowledge from Matter
