Common side effects & adjustments
As your hormones begin to balance, you may experience some temporary changes.
Pain management
What it is: The primary goal is to reduce chronic pain. It's important to note that Oestra® takes time to work on the underlying inflammation and hormonal imbalance.
What to expect: You may need to continue using your existing pain medications for the first few weeks. Many women start to see a reduction in pain and bleeding within 4-8 weeks.
Breast tenderness & swelling
What it is: Experienced by 80-90% of women and usually resolves in a few weeks. It's often a sign of iodine deficiency.
What helps: Iodine supplementation (1500 mcg, 3-7x per week) is recommended and can resolve tenderness.
Temporary water retention
What it is: Less than 10% of women may experience this in the first month. It can be related to untreated low thyroid, iron deficiency, or histamine intolerance.
What helps: Contact us for adjustments and recommendations if you experience weight gain, joint pain, or bloating.
