[QUOTE="Allison Woodworth RN MSN FNP, post: 102231, member: 16785"] Hi Amberlin, My name is Allison and I am a nurse practitioner from Scottsdale, Arizona and Nelson directed me to this thread. :o In my practice, when starting a pre/peri-menopausal woman on Testosterone therapy, I will proactively prescribe Progesterone in order to balance the anticipated rise of Estradiol that will occur due to aromatization of the Testosterone and prevent those bothersome "estrogen dominance" symptoms (moodiness/irritability, water retention, nipple sensitivity, breast tenderness/fullness, etc.). Have you been prescribed Progesterone? Another option would be to take a supplement containing DIM and calcium D-glucarate (such as DIM Detox from Pure Encapsulations), which will help with healthy Estrogen metabolism and elimination but you will still likely need to take a Progesterone regardless of your baseline Progesterone level. Also, be sure to always have labs drawn on day 19-21 of your menstrual cycle (day 1 is the first day of your period). I hope this information was helpful and please keep us posted about how you are feeling! Sincerely, Allison Woodworth, RN, MSN, FNP-C [/QUOTE]
