For the last year and a half I have been trying to raise my low hormones by using bio-identical hormones. My body does not absorb them very well in the cream or troche form. I absorb estradiol and testosterone better than progesterone. This has been part of my plan to help heal depression and anxiety. My dosages have been raised a few times without much improvement.
I am 57 years old, and haven't had a period for a year so I am officially in menopause. I don't want to use Premarin or Prempro. My doctor suggested I take a probiotic to help my body absorb better. It has helped my digestion, but my hormone levels haven't come up. Have any of you used Estrace, the Climara patch, Vivelle-Dot patch, or Prometrium natural progesterone?
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could help my body absorb the hormones better?
Thanks for your help!
