Low-dose ComboBC VTE Risk (PLUS HRT E2 Serum Levels)

This episode is in reply to one of our fantastic podcast family members who had some wonderful clinical questions regarding dosage of combination BC after listening to our past episode. In our immediate past episode, we discussed hypoestrogenemic symptoms on ultra low-dose pills in certain patients (young, thin). Is a 20 µg BC pill less thrombotic than a 30 or 35 µg pill? What does the data say? In this episode will answer this question and also dive deeper into serum estradiol levels not only with combination birth control but also with menopausal hormone therapy. Is there a “target level” of systemic/serum estrogen with combination HRT? Listen in and find out.
