Guest 31792 Give it some time, your hormones need to adjust. When we take synthetic hormones we shut off our body producing hormones which take their place and then when we go off the pill the faucet has to turn back on in our bodies and replace the synthetics, this takes some time usually they say 2-3 months but it seems with yasmin it can take longer depending on the person. The hardest thing is patience. Just hang in there, eat well (organic seems best) get plenty of sleep, and take good care of yourself right now. K. Best wishes BitterRN Silke Me again, sorry about the rushed answer, I wanted to write more but didnt have time. So yeah, I think your levels have been trying to come up, but may have for some reason dropped- Have you been exercising more since that heavy period, or more stressed out? The body will use more testosterone during these times (to recover your muscles with exercise.) to support the body with stress. This would have caused a decline perhaps in the reserves of testosterone you may have built up then. (This is just a theory based on what I have read and talked with my doctors and experienced myself Silke, I am not trying to diagnose you okay? Im just trying to point you in the right direction for medical care) So anyway, if you had a decline then that may explain the spotting the next two months, especially with the virus, the drop in testosterone may have caused the lowered immune system allowing you to catch the virus and then your body is really going to have trouble fighting it caused it is already in an unbalanced state. Even though it seems your body was starting to recover and you were menstruating though Silke 1 year and a half seems a long time for this recovery (though I think it may have to due with the amount of time you were on the yasmin as well) but when I read that your periods returned I was so happy for you but then in the next post you wrote the next month you had mentioned just spotting and that is what prompted me to see how you were now because I had a feeling that it may not have fully returned as it had the previous month (the one with the heavy bleeding) did it seem normal? If you had continued to have regular bleeding the next two cycles and continued to feel better than I would have thought oh good her hormones are balancing out, but when you said that you had only spotting AND that you were starting to feel bad again, I think that maybe your body is trying to fight an uphill battle and It cannot quite seem to fill it up to the reserves that it needs to be at. In other words you cannot make testosterone as fast as your body is demanding it leaving you on empty or quite near it . Do you understand where I am coming from? This is why I think you should consider getting your hormones tested, but only from a doctor who understands hormones particularly bioidentitical hormones(natural hormones.) That is why I gave you the name of the doctor in Spain, he specializes in this kind of therapy, but more importantly he can test your hormones and read them correctly. I tried to google doctors in germany who specialize in bioidentical hormones and I could not find anything which suprises me because I read an article that they started practicing this therapy first in europe in 1935! So maybe you could find someone. I understand what you mean about going to another doctor for useless information (I went through 3) and spent lots of wasted money! Its aggravating I know. Please, I hope you do not think that I am being pushy and please remember it is your health and your body and you know what is best for it. I am curious to see what will happen on the first of Nov. as well, maybe your menses will return fully and you will start feeling better again. I hope so Silke, I really do. Also I had a few more ?'s if you dont mind, how is your memory/concentration as compared to before? How about your sleep?Any trouble? Do you feel aged just overall? One more thing, I wanted to give the website of that Dr and procedure (which Im not saying you need) it just has interesting info. on it. Its Sottopelletherapy.com Ok I better go. Volume 10 is complete!!! :) Take care Silke BitterRN Silke, Hi bitterRn
