Estrace (estradiol) .5mg 7 days estradiol 1 vag tab 1 days			Lack of ovulation during perimenopause (the time period before menopause) Menopausal symptoms	Rapid weight gain Gas and bloating Bloating Vertiginous migraine	I started taking estrace (oral tablet form) and estradiol (vaginal tablets) about six months ago due to the removal of both ovaries. I was always a very thin individual and since the start of these hormones 6 months ago I have gained 15 pounds and experience significant stomach swelling/bloating. I also experience dizziness on a daily basis both sitting or lying down. I now have nose bleeds for no apparent reason and notice I bruise easier than I used to. Not sure if I am going to continue with the hormone treatment - maybe just put up with the full blown menopause symptoms. Very frustrated.	50	Female	09/25

Shortly after taking this new medication,I began to notice the above effects, and will be requesting my physician change me to a different drug	56	Female	09/24

	Comments(1): 09/25 02:41 Hello, I am new to this site - posted by review and thought I did it wrong resulting in it posting 3 times (oops). Anyway, I also had been taking previous medication for about 10 years following surgically induced menopause (injections)and all was fine until I developed breast cancer. After my bi-lateral mastectomy and healing was complete the doctors refused to give me the injections. I went about a year without any HRT and just couldn't stand the constant hot flashes, depression, not being able to sleep and overall feeling of just being bla. Went to see my gyn doctor and they agreed to start me on a daily low dose of estrace (.5 mg tablet cut in half)combined with Vagifem tablet once a week. This has worked wonderful in stopping the hot flashes and I can sleep with no problems, my vagina is no longer dry and painful during sex and my mood is better. However, I have gained substantial weight with a distended stomach over the last six months since starting the drugs and experience dizziness on a daily basis. Don't know if I will continue with this therapy. Gosh, sometimes it's so hard being a woman.....

You cannot miss dosages or all hell breaks loose! My short term memory and ability to form cogent, flowing sentences is greatly effected! Even when taking properly the side effects outweigh any benefits I can barely see. Am going to have my Dr. reduce amount and wean myself off this miserable concoction! There must be something better than this.	50	Female	08/04
