Out of all of the nbe choices, which would be the best option to increase estrogen? I know it's a crazy question since normally we all want to make sure we don't go too overboard with the estrogen, BUT I'm barely making any right now. Estrogen replacement is the only thing that stops my headaches it seems and my doc says I can no longer have BCP's and then refused to give me more premarin unless I agreed to have a mirena put in.
Anyway, I was pretty depressed at first and of course my doc is positive that I will buckle under the symptoms and give in to the mirena to get the premarin back, but then I remembered... hey, I'm a member of a great board with great gals that all specialize in so many different hormone options that there has to be a solution in there somewhere.
I've spent so many years making sure I didn't increase my estrogen load, so I only have focused on nbe that wouldn't do that, now that my endocrine system was fried by chantix, I have to change my thinking in that area.
I tried the maca, but it actually makes my headaches worse so I've had to stop it. I pulled out my BO even though I figured it wouldn't do much and the same happened with it, which isn't surprising since it's meant to NOT raise estrogen, so I need help from some of the members that have gone other routes for nbe. Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks,
Mel
