A member asked:

I through menopause, however, my doc said my estrogen levels are -5.1 and i'm taking estrogen .75 estridaol. said he didn't know i can't absorb estrog?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Estrogen: I have never heard of a negative number for estrogen levels in women or men. Please make sure that you are not making a mistake. Even if you are not absorbing .75 Estradiol (highly unlikely) make sure that there is at least one hour between taking your medicine and eating.
