Estrogen dominance? Lots of changes.

Hello, I have been taking Lelo gee for years, also known as Minisiston 20 µg. I have been experiencing headaches, depressive phases, anxiety, hot flashes especially at night, increased appetite which has caused me not to lose weight. Finally, my libido decreased and I experienced pain or bleeding during sex. My doctor examined me and said he would prescribe me a progestin pill called Jubrele 75 µg. He didn't say much more. How long does it take for the side effects to normalize? It is unbearable. I have been taking the new pill for 11 days. Is a hormone test advisable?

Good day,

Usually it takes one cycle for these side effects to go away, sometimes two. A hormone test does not provide any further information and is therefore unnecessary.

You just need to have some patience.

Sincerely, Dr. Höllering
