@heatherhirschmd: Replying to @magsw2018 why I think hormone stocking is the best way for you to start hormone replacement therapy. If you're a clinician looking to supercharge your career either MD DO NP PA or CNM, join over 2000 clinicians who have taken my course on how to confidently manage FDA approved hormone replacement therapy. #menoapusedoctor #perimenopause #womenoftiktokover40 #womenoftiktokover50 #hormonereplacementtherapy #hormonestacking #womenshealth
What are your thoughts on adding a GLP1 to help with weight gain? I’m insulin resistant (my whole life), and my weight was under control until menopause, then it spiraled fast and I couldn’t stop it. Within 18 mos, I’d gained 50 pounds. Now I’m on a GLP1, progesterone, & Estrodial patch. Finally feeling normal again.

I started with a progesterone after my hysterectomy. I was having insane anxiety, tinnitus, brain fog, rage moments, super emotional. I think due to the anxiety my BP shot up. Ever since I started my BP has lowered. My provider said she was starting with this as well then we will go from there as well.

This is by far the most in depth explanation I have heard. It’s like how do you know which one you need and how much and what are the cause effects etc. I have never been more confused in my life and my drs have no idea so if they don’t know how am I supposed to know which one I need.

low & slow & titrate up! Stacking has made all the difference not only w meno but w managing neuromuscular disease amidst this. CP + meno. 20 dose changes in a year. I have learned so much! I am becoming a better version of myself & I see that 4 my provider 2. The stacking concept has also applied to introducing other meds. Now on HRT trifecta plus baclofen & gemtesa. Adding the bac after hrt has helped me figure out whether the symptoms are meno vs the other meds as bac & gemtesa can have similar effects. The overlap is REAL.

Does having a uterus ablation put you into perimenopause sooner or no?

I've been on the testosterone pellet and progesterone pills for the last 4/5 years and im in so much joint pain i walk like im 85 and im 50 , dry skin, insomnia, hot flashes still. my period stopped prior to get BHRT so 5 years no and multiple drs tell me my estrogen is fine and I don't need estrogen but my labs say im post menopausal. How can I get a Dr to listen to me?? Im at a loss. The pellet is getting to a point where it is too expensive for me to continue especially if I find no relief of my symptoms 😔

I’ve always advocated for tirating myself low and slow with meds. I started at 50mg progesterone pill and every other day estrogen cream and every other day testosterone till we did labs. We just lowered my thyroid med, upped my progesterone to 100mg and switched to the estrogen patch and holding off testosterone. I cannot tell you how great I feel! I still had sleeping issues and some anxiety but this change has me sleeping and no anxiety.

Maria :
I have symptoms of low progesterone I think? I’m in perimenopause and I have trouble staying asleep as well as anxiety. I am working with a doctor and I take 100mg of progesterone each night, which has helped a bit. But when I try taking 200mg my sleep actually gets worse. Any idea why this would happen?

My clinician started me on the pallet therapy which was the testosterone And estrogen and then a week later she got me on And estrogen and then a week later she got me on progesterone and an antidepressantprogesterone. Absolutely the worst 7 weeks of my life I thought I was going to die I was in pain from the pellet for about 4 weeks I still Feeling From getting on an antidepressant Feeling sick from getting on an antidepressant And I believe in stacking hormones after what I've just been through With all of the things that she has put me on I am extremely sleepy today was a 1st day I didn't take

How long can you be only on estrogen if you have a uterus? I have symptoms of both but would like to start with estrogen only.

I'm on a patch but having hot flashes at night. I asked to have the next level up on the patch and the Dr was fine with this but also offered gabapenten. How would this help?
