one more thing...to Gina (Anemia & Hair Loss)

posted by Debbie, 29.08.2007, 19:04

Gina,

I am a full supporter of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy vs. oral contraceptives. In fact, I had a brief discussion with my Endocronology prof. today and he is completely against taking synthetic hormones, esp. estradiol (form of estro. in Yasmin & Vivelle Dot). He reminded that synthetic estro. induces mitosis (cell division) and in women our age, he said "that's the last thing we need." I also asked him if there was any way around the drastic drop in estro. that occurs when a woman stops taking the pill; I thought perhaps I could get Dr. Redmond to prescribe me bioident. estro. & prog. while I am trying to wean myself off Yasmin. My prof. said unfortunately there is no way to avoid the sudden drop in estro. that occurs post OC use. Damn. I haven't stopped yet b/c Dr. Redmond advised me to stay on it until we meet Sept. 8. Just wanted you to know that I am totally supportive of your bioidentical initiative; I simply don't want you to self-treat only to discover that you're throwing your horm. balance even further off....this is assuming you haven't had your estro. & prog. levels measured??
