Question 1

does equate estroblend work?

Accepted Answer

Unknown: Taking non tested Estrogens from unknown source can be dangerous. At 39, I am assuming you have your uterus. If so, taking unopposed estrogen can lead to uterine cancer. I dont recomment it.

Question 3

I would appreciate it if you would let me know some more detail.

Question 5

does estratest (esterified estrogens and methylestosterone) cause weight gain?

Hormone replacement: Weight gain at menopause is more likely related to lifestyle factors as well as changes in metabolism. One of the side effects of hormone replacement can be weight gain, but weight loss is just as likely.

Question 6

does alfalfa have estrogen?

Accepted Answer

No, but...: ...Alfalfa contains isoflavones which have a low and variable degree of estrogen like activity in animal models.  One would have to consume a lot of alfalfa to have much of an effect, and there are side effects associated with this supplement which would need to be seriously considered first.

Question 7

does soy contain estrogen?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Soy contains phytoestrogens or plant estrogens.  These are not the same as the human estrogen, but they have similar biologic activity.  They are, however, very dilute in soy products.

Question 8

can mixing celexa, premarin (conjugated estrogens) and crestor cause headaches?

Accepted Answer

Not usually: There are no interactions among those three drugs.  That isn't to say that you couldn't have a headache related to any one of them alone.  We're all individuals and anything is possible. The usual approach to determining if there is a side effect is to stop them, see if your symptom promptly resolves, then re-add them one-by-one.

Question 9

does exercise affect estradiol + estrone: progesterone ratio?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Any of these hormones can be affected by exercise. What matters most is the amount of fat you have in your body, because fat stores estrogen, which can affect the signaling for ovulation in your body, which can really affect the amount of progesterone that would be found on a blood test.

Question 10

can you take clomid (clomiphene) and soy isoflavones together? 50 mg clomid (clomiphene) and 50 mg soy isoflavones?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say for sure: soy isoflavones are not regulated by the FDA like estrogen, so it is difficult to know if they will interfere with your clomid (clomiphene).  I would stop them while on clomid (clomiphene) and just take more soy in your diet like soy milk or soy based foods like edamame
