Things that you might have been told... 🩷

Here's a very quick reminder that: 😬Oestrogen dominance is NOT a Thing. 😬HRT doesn’t 'balance your hormones' as such: in really simple terms, oestrogen levels are 'topped up' and progesterone is used to keep the womb lining thin. Testosterone may be added if needed. If a bought product claims to 'balance your hormones' it's a pseudoscientific lie. 🙂Symptoms and their relief are the best indicator of whether your HRT is at the right dose for you. 😬Constant blood/urine/saliva hormone level testing and 'chasing' a certain level is pointless and can be expensive. These simple statements apply in general circumstances, and I'm not medically qualified. But I have been around a good while now, and the number of times I've seen ropey adverts and folk ill-advising in other menopause support groups is 😬 If in doubt, every time, consult a properly trained and qualified healthcare professional with access to your medical history. I know that might be easier said than done, but it *is* what you need to do... ❤️
