A member asked:
Is it ok to take estradiol if ur young(33)& still have all ur female parts? & is it just like taking progesterone meds?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No and no: At 33, withe regular periods, you should have enough estrogen from your ovaries. Estrdiol is a naturally occurring estrogen, that if taken alone could lead to cancer of the uterus. Progesterone is a different hormone. I would not recommend taking any extra hormones without discussing it with your dr.

Usually not: If you are having normal menstrual cycles, you should not need Estradiol since you make enough of your own. Progeterone is a totally different hormone but the answer is the same.
