ESTROGEN IN FACT BOOSTS MEMORY

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
On the contrary, estrogen therapy is associated boosting of memory in post menopausal women.
SO do not worry, estradiol that too in the low dosage you mention, cannot cause memory loss.
Take care.
