While she had no problem switching me from the estradiol patch that wasn't absorbing and irritating my skin she didn't spend much time providing other solutions just suggested a pill. When I stated that I only wanted bio identical estrogen she laughed and said you couldn't get much more bio identical than premarin. When I questioned her with pregnant horse urine is bio identical to my estrogen she just ignored me. When I asked if my dose of progesterone needed to be increased since my Estradiol had been increased so much she just said No with no explanation as to why. Where as I have read it's common for progesterone to be increased in this case.
