Superb! Dr. Gersh really advocates for women and her knowledge is profound.

I need to know about dosing for estradiol. The clinic I went to will not give me anything but the very minimal dose. I still feel miserable. Ii was previously going to a uro gynecologist and they were giving me a higher dose and I felt great. Should I worry about the higher dose or just go on how I feel
-
could you address the interaction of estrogen (transdermal, vaginal) when a woman is taking a thyroid replacement dose? The need for more levothyroxine to use just estrogen.
-
What if I had an ablation? How would that affect the progesterone dose in menopause when taking estradiol?
-
Ok, so what is optimal/therapeutic dosages for menopausal patients?
