What Vitamins should I take with HRT?

16 years ago

Along with the Activella, I take a multiple vitamin, along with calcium and magnesium and Flaxseed oil. Is there anything that would interfere with the HRT's efficiency?

Hi,
I just found this site by searching for menopause answers. I just turned 50 this year but have been taking birth control pills for quite sometime. am still active with sex and scared of having pregnant at my age. I recently stopped my pills at the end of my period last month but actually experiencing some mild hot flashes for a while. Am i going thru menopause? can somebody help me? I ask my doctor about menopausal symptoms but she told me , if i'm still taking birth control pills i might not know if i'm going thru it or not? that's why i decided to stop taking it.

cheerful1, there's not any vitamins I am aware of that interfere with HRT effectiveness. Logically, there should not be, as vitamins are something that we all require. As for herbs, if you are so inclined, I would read all the info you can find to see if there are any problems there.

leidann1, I would think that at 50 you are prime age for menopause. That is thought to be the average age from what I've read. If you stopped taking the pill, use an alternative form of birth control for a month or two, then go get your hormone levels checked.

You may get a few menopausal symptoms again, because you are lowering your level of estrogen. However they shouldn't be as severe as befre the HRT. You have been on low levels so it may just have gotten you over the hump. Try eating or drinking soy products. Soy beans have natural plant estrogen. A good diet will help too. You will always produce some estrogen. Just not at the high doses you did before menopause.

I have had no post-menopausal problems including hot flashes. This was a pleasant surprise to me because I had such horrible periods and PMS and I had read that the two are linked. My emotional state is the best it has been in my entire life. That surprised me too. I think getting off the estrogen roller coaster was good for me. I also reconnected to my faith so it is hard to say what comes from what. I have finally been released from a lifetime of painful shyness. It is such a joy not to have to plan every outing, every vacation, and weigh job offers on the basis of "when is my period due and what facilities will be available" Spending entire days in the bathroom because the flow was so relentless are over. Lying in bed trying not to scream from the cramps is over. Becoming suicidal once a month is over too. I have taken nothing and am glad for it, but all of my friends are either on HRT or tranquilizers to handle their post-menopausal problems. I guess I am just lucky or maybe I used up all my bad karma on the 44 years I spent trying to deal with all that mess and pain.
