Is herbal supplements for  breast good or bad when on estradiol? Like going to http://www.vitaminworld.com/default?icid=ros-_-header-_-logo and picking up like Red Clovor ,wild yum.

It shouldn't be an issue, but to be sure you should let your doctor know of anything your on. If it is an issue they will let you know. Hugs

Probably won't hurt, but probably isn't necessary on estradiol. Are you not getting the results you want?

Revan:

I've done  little research on it a while back and recall something about it being relatively unnecessary to "boost" estro and that it may indeed hinder it from working as it should.  Albeit phytoestrogens are weak in themselves,  too much estrogen will convert back into testosterone. 

If I can find the paper somewhere I'll post the findings, but your best bet is to check with your endo.


Hope this helped a little  :-)

Be safe,

Marlo

Estrogen can never convert to androgen. It is chemically impossible. Imagine the repercussions in male prostate cancer patients given high doses of estrogen to suppress testosterone. In my own case, my E levels are in the range of 1,000-4,000 pg/ml while T remains at 8 ng/dl. T was actually higher when E was lower!

I am not a medical doctor, nor a scientist - opinions expressed by me on the subject of HRT are merely based on my own review of some of the scientific literature over the last decade or so, on anecdotal evidence from women in various discussion forums that I have come across, and my personal experience

On HRT since early 2004
Post-op since late 2005
