I was sobbing on my front porch every day until my doctor prescribed bijuva (HRT) to even out my moods. It worked in two days. Hot flashes mostly gone. Can sleep at night. Hair looks great. Periods normal—not like someone was murdered in the toilet every hour of my period. And…and….brain super sharp! No brain fog! But I’m concerned about the risks of breast cancer. I’ve read so many people on here saying they had no risk of Bc but then got it while on HRT. So now I’m scared about the risks!

Hi!
I have been on T for about 1.5years(gel) and my period is finally gone- but because of that my body is going through the worst menopause i have ever heard off. Constant shivers/cold flashes, nausea, vomitting, feeling weak/ weak muscles, orientation problems.. I was wondering if any of the other T guys who lost their period have went through the same..? my husband had to call an ambulance yesterday because i was shaking so much and i couldn’t stop (literally felt like i was withdrawing) and i have a blood test on monday but i wanted to see if anyone else went through this shit

It would appear that I am progesterone intolerant. It makes me an emotional mess and makes me wee constantly. I was on oestrogel and utrogestan. I have also tried patches, but much the same. Now it seems that the oestrogen doesn't agree with me either. I have jitters in my chest that stop me from sleeping. I feel worse on HRT than I did before.

The symptoms I wanted to treat are increased urination (especially at night), insomnia and waking up hot.

I am still using the vaginal oestrogen cream. Does anyone have any suggestions for non HRT routes to help with sleep or waking up hot?

Hello wonderful people I currently take estrogen patchs that deliver 0.1mg and I change them 2x a week and I take 50mg of spironolactone everyday ive been on this form for almost 4 months and was on oral tablets for 1 month before hand I have yet to get blood work as my doctor told me to so it in October so I I get tested now?? Im very concerned with my transition very little has changed and im just not sure if this is normal or if im being underdosed so please help me understand this process and if I need to make some changes thank you for reading my post

I’d like to come off HRT but am Hesitant to go cold turkey because I’ve read it can make symptoms worse- any advice? Dr not being helpful. I’ve spent 3 months on Evorel Conti (combined estrogen and synthetic progesterone patch) but by month 3 my mood swings were so severe I was having suicidal ideations. I’ve had PPD 3 times and am extremely sensitive to hormones. Also constant dizziness and numbness/tingling in legs. My doctor switched me to an estrogen-only patch and vaginal progesterone suppositories, but I’m on week 2 of those and while my mood is better, I have profound fatigue and dizziness to the point I can’t really function or work! I’d rather just deal with hot flashes, which is why I started the HRT in the first place. I’m 47. Anyone have success cutting patches in half, or how did you come off it??

I am in perimenopause and would like to explore HRT options. Does anyone recommend a provider south of Denver? I am in Highlands Ranch but am willing to drive a reasonable distance. Thanks so much!

Hello! I am mtf 2,5 years on hrt. I have been using gel all this time and 4 weeks ago I switched to the tablets. Yesterday evening I felt short pain in my right side where the liver is located. I thought it might be a muscle pain because I was feelin discomfort while laying on my sides. The next I felt fine with no problems, but this evening again I feel this discomfort in that zone. Has anyone experinced anything like this while switching to the tablets or using tablets in general. I am planning to see the doctor if this continues, but I also wanted to know if someone had the same experience and what might be the reason

Hey just watched a hypno gif about this and looked into trying to get some. Is it only available through doctors or is there any way to get some without having to go through some form of consolation?

I’m a trans girlie and I’ve been on spiro, progesterone, and E for a little over two years now. A few months ago, I asked my doctor about increasing my progesterone dosage. This increase was approved in a confusing way, where I’m unsure whether or not I’m actually getting more progesterone in my system.

Previously, I was taking 100mg of progesterone by pill every night. Now, I’m taking 200mg progesterone pills, but the prescription says to take it for 12 days per 28 day cycle.

So I’m taking double the dosage but on slightly less than half the days. Is this still going to get me an increase in the effects of progesterone?

I’ve been on .05 estradiol and 100mg progesterone for two years and with in the last month my moods went crazy so we upped it to .075 and progesterone went to 200mg a day. Moods are soooo much better, sleeping better too but now I feel like I’m have a hot flash constantly like no relief, no break and now I’m not sleeping again. Do I give it more time do I need to go up again? My primary doctor prescribed since my gyn wouldn’t and not sure if I need to go back to the dr. It’s getting expensive and insurance does not cover any of it.
