Message for Annick Mussche: I hope you have found Thierry Hertoghe , a wonderful endocrinologist who lives in Belgium! I dont have his details but am sure you can google him. Best wishes.

At the beginning of sex I am lubricated, but seconds later it seems like I dry up. Which makes intercourse a little painful…Is there anything I can take or do for this?
Thank You

I am 60 years old and on BHRT Biest 4.5mg Prog. 250mg Test 2mg
I use this daily as a topical cream. What are the effects of too much of either of the hormones? I have breast cysts and sometimes feel soreness more than other times. My doctor has blood tests done and shows my estradiol still low.. Is that an indicator that I’m not getting too much of the hormones? or is my formula still not balanced? I take thyroid hormone and iodine 6mg…too much thyroid hormone after awhile of build up tends to give me palpitations…How can I adjust to this as I have more energy on the higher amount of 30mg of thyroid a day. Thank you for a reply.

I am belgian and live in Brussels. I have found your information very interesting. I am 55 years old and have gone 7 months without periods and have been experiencing the above symtoms on and off. I do not take any hormone replacement at all, although I did use progesterone cream on and off for a couple of years ending in March.
Would you know of any doctor in Belgium who is has knowledge on hormonal distrurbances? That would be my miracle.
Thank you for this wonderful article and have a great day.
