are there any vitamins or supplements i can take to increase my estrogen levels? preferably that i can in drugstores

Accepted Answer

None: Looks like you're taking both depoprovera & Levonorgestrel which are progestins. Unfortunately, there's no specific vitamin or supplement to increase estrogen although menopausal women may try soy.

If you want to increase estrogen to stop bleeding, go see your doc about your meds.
