Estrogen after SRS question.

[jojo702]

Ive been 4 months post op and I've been taking my prescribed hormones with recommended intake but recently my hormones expired  in January 6 and it's been 2 weeks I haven't taken hormones which I'm supposed to be taking it once a week.

Hormones is taken to treat and prevent menopause but I haven't taken my hormones for 2 almost 3 weeks now.

Is there a time when menopausal symptoms will start occurring once hormone intake have stopped? Or will the estrogen stay in my system forever after taking them since my srs date 4 months ago?

Um, you need to get back on it now otherwise you risk bone density issue's. Did your surgeon or Endo not tell you this? Hormones are for the rest of your life and are really not optional at all. You have nothing inside you to make any Estrogen so no, it will not last forever.

You will develop osteoporosis if you don't take your hormones in the long run. You will need to make sure you see your dr. again so they can prescribe estrogen for you to be back on.
