Oestrogen levels suddenly very high with low HRT dose
I am 25 and have POI (and Hashimotos) and take HRT since 7 weeks. Before HRT my estrogen has been only going down to 25 and I stopped having a period. FSH was above 28, AMH about 1 and I had all POI symptoms. Estrogen was not really going crazy up and down but more consistenly down over the years and months.
1 pump of estrogel in the morning and cycled Utrogestan 100mg. I know that's a pretty low dosage. My libido and energy levels slowly came back. But the hair loss, hot flashes, random dizziness, feeling extra tired, UTI-like symptoms, brain fog are still very much here. My periods are back tho.
My gynecologist thinks I should increase the dose in 6 months.
So I did a blood test thinking it would help prove my point at the next appointment that I in fact should be increasing the dose.
The thing is, my blood test results are nothing like I expected them to be. In terms of "cycle" the blood test was done on day 8 (I think, bleeding is not very regular).
Estrogen : 207
FSH : 6 (it was never that low)
Testosterone : 0.240 (available T : 0.049)
Prolactin : 27 (never been that high?!)
DHEAS : 1.290
So I don't get it. Could it be because I am randomly ovulating this month ? Does it mean I should not increase the dosage ? I know some hormone fluctuation is to be expected but I did not expect it to be that much. I'm kinda scared that those results are gonna lead to my doc being very dismissive
I am so confused.
