Started HRT...Yay

[Jessika]

Hi all,
Today I finally started my HRT. Had an E "dose" with breakfast and will rinse it down with a Spiro "dose" when it arrives today.

I hope my Ticker Factory works correctly.

Feels great to get started.

*hugs*

I hope it's everything you dreamed! Be patient, E can be subtle and mysterious, changing things behind the scenes, then suddenly, BOOM!

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh so Jelly right now! I want to start soon >3<!  Congrats and good luck on your journey hun!

[Jessika]

Thank you all for the wonderful replies. I'm watching my Mailbox like a Hawk for the Spiro to arrive. LOL

I was wondering, Does Aspirin or Red Wine help with the possibility of Blood Clots while on HRT, or is it rare if my health is pretty good?

That is great Jessika! I know that you have been waiting a long time for this day! Enjoy the journey!

Congratulations on the HRT!

Last month when I saw the endo for the first time, she asked me if I was taking a baby aspirin, which I said yes and she replied that it was good and to continue.  I understood her answer as to the baby aspirin being beneficial.

But I recommend that you check with your own doctor, as it may cause other problems in your particular case.

You additionally could ask your endo about sublingual use of e.
This way clotting might be additionally reduced somewhat.

If you take e sublingually more of it might enter the system, due to less being filtered out right away in the liver... you should therefore ask your endo.

Omgosh congrats! Im so jealous i hope i will be in your footsteps hopefully by next week 

Aspirin actually would prevent blood clots rather than contribute to them because of its antiplatelet activity. This is why some people take a small amount of baby aspirin daily for heart health / stroke prevention.

[Jessika]

Thank you all so much.

Yes, I started with the orange flavored baby aspirin. I take one maybe twice a week, should be ok. I hate pills unless I HAVE to have them...

Hormones I HAVE to have.

From my understanding, it appears aspirin or red wine help dilate blood vessels, much like the estradiol you're taking while having no significant effect on blood clots that occur in veins. Platelets and coagulation factors affected by estradiol taken orally are not the same thing. One is arterial, the other is venous. Please verify with doctors.

Congratulations!!  I remember my first dose ... so mentally exhilarating to get your hormones to match how you feel.
