does estradiol make mood better?

[noturkeythankyou]

Just that really, I increased Estradiol (sandrema) from 1mg to 2mg a few months ago - was told to do this by gynaecologist for bladder weakness thought it would also make mood better. But now piecing bits together before GP appt tomorrow which is about anxiety and depression and wondering if upping this may have made it worse? always thought it would make it better. I take progesterone for 12 days and usually feel worse during this bit of cycle. Wondering whether too change regime from 2mg sandrema and 12 days progesterone to a patch or something else. people mention a pump of gel a lot what brand is this ? mines in sachets? Is it worth getting an oestrogen test? just want to go armed to GP as scared they'll recommend antideprerssants

Hi, Estradiol comes in a pump. I only take oestrogen so can't help with that but presume that the specialist that recommended you up that did consider the balance with the progesterone? I had emotional symptoms prior to getting to the right dose, it definitely helped not made it worse for me.

Thanks, I know it often comes in a pump and I think each pump has 0.75mg but my brand Sandrema comes in 1mg sachets - info I read online says usual dose is 1mg or 1.5mg per day but I've been prescribed 2mg per day - I'm only perimenopausal. So just really wanting to know that can having too much estradiol have an adverse affect.? I have th progesterone for 12 days as I still get periods erratically

Following this as I've been worse since I've been on it. I have the mirena coil and am also peri menopausal. Tried upping dose and felt even worse (from two pumps daily to four)
