Title: HRT symptoms
Post by: starrbaby on October 12, 2010, 11:12:01 PM
Ok this might sound really crazy but i need some help with it... my fiancee is going on 9 months of HRT and its all going great except she got sick and we thought first food poisoning or flu then we looked at the symptoms and they are all pregnancy symptoms i know that she isnt and cant get pregnant but is it possible to just have the symptoms????

Depends on what she is taking.  There are some that makes the body think it is pregnant.  Check with her doctor.

what symptoms?

It could be a lot of things. Best to get a doctor to check it out.

I hope she is getting regular blood tests. They will tell you a lot. Would rule out kidney issues etc..

Hormones can leave you fatigued, make you urinate a lot (especially as estrogen tends to shrink your bladder and spiro is a diuretic), hormones can darken your aureol, cause headaches, sore breasts and nausea. All are possible side effects of hormone therapy.

she is taking spiro, prognovya, and estradiol all prescribed by her doctor.....we think it might be just stress but i have found that the levels of estradiol prescribed could cause all of her symptoms so we are thinking about lowering them gradually to see if that helps...thank you all for your input its greatly appreciated and if anybody else has anything please share as i am new to all of this and will take all the help i can get...
