Perimenopause Help

Question by Teh_PaInTeR: What could happen if I took 4 high-concentrated estrogen pills?
Recently, I made a bet I lost in which I would have to take 4 highly concentrated estrogen pills in front of a group of people. They have to be taken all at once, and the person I lost the bet to, has not told me what concentration these pills will be. I’ve looked up the side effects, and realize that these are all effects that happen over months of taking the estrogen. My question is, what is the worst-case scenario if I go through with this, and what am I to expect?

Question by Lovemyfamily: What else could the symptoms of estrogen loss be?
Thinning hair, shorter cycles, shorter duration of periods, crying spells, mood swings like I have never had before, UNWANTED facial hair….and I’m in my 30’s, have had many children. Tests show I am not going through any kind of change yet my body is telling me differently. What is going on? If its not estrogen loss, what else can this be?

Answer by Q
It could be hormone irregularities. Like, a greater swing between high and low estrogen. Your estrogen changes throughout the month, so there’s a HUGE range of what is normal. So even though you might still be testing as “normal,” it might not be normal for YOU. It might be higher than you used to be. Or lower. Or the highs might be higher and the lows might be lower. Or it might be a progesterone change. Or a testosterone change. There are many and subtle changes it could be. If you want to get things more stable, then go on birth control pills. that has the virtue of far more regular daily levels of hormones.

Answer by [♥]Rae Rae[♥]
In some cases the cause of heavy menstrual bleeding is unknown, but a number of conditions may cause menorrhagia. Common causes include:

Hormonal imbalance. In a normal menstrual cycle, a balance between the hormones estrogen and progesterone regulates the buildup of the lining of the uterus (endometrium), which you shed during menstruation. If a hormonal imbalance occurs, the endometrium develops in excess and eventually sheds by way of heavy menstrual bleeding. Hormonal imbalance occurs most often in adolescent girls experiencing their menstrual periods for the first time and in women approaching menopause. Menorrhagia caused by certain conditions involving hormonal imbalance, such as thyroid disease, often can be controlled with hormone medications. However, improper use of hormone medications can also be a direct cause of menorrhagia.

A Good Source Of Estrogen Is Birth Control Pills. They Will Help Your Flow Become Lighter & Regulate Your Cycle.
