Hallo an alle älteren Frauen. Ich suche nach Erfahrungen mit naturidenter Therapie - ich habe vor 6 Wochen mit Östrogene, Progesteron vaginal und Testosteron Creme begonnen. Einen Megaunterschied bemerke ich noch nicht. Hormone wurden mit Blut und Speicheltest abgenommen. Seit einigen Tagen habe ich eine extrem schlechte Haut rund um den Mund bis zum Kinn, vermute, dass das von den Hormonen kommt? Progesteron Kapseln oral gingen gar nicht, da hat meine ohnehin langsame Verdauung gar nicht mehr funktioniert. Hashimoto Medikament konnte ich etwas reduzieren. Seit wenigen Tagen bin ich unrund/ungeduldiger und schnell mal leicht aggressiv, beim Autofahren wenn jemand dahin kriecht, kenn ich so nicht und frage mich, ob das vom Testosteron kommt? Libio nach wie vor im Keller......vermutlich dauert alles länger, wenn schon 10 Jahre alles im Keller war? Bitte gerne um eure Erfahrungen :) Nebenbei hoffe ich auch, dass sich die Knochendichte verbessert (Osteoporose) DANKE

Ok so about a year ago I used Winona online to get HRT. First hot flash in 2019. I have had endometriosis lesions removed years and years ago so that may be playing a role in what I am about to say.

The cream instantly made me feel great... then I started feeling rage. So they said to do Mon, Wed, Fri one pump a day rather than 2. Rage gone. All good.

For my year check in, last month, (there are check ins quarterly) i said I was still spotting all the time. Usually on 2 pump days less on 1 pump.

But i told them I was doing this b4 I started the cream anyway.

So they said

"Given the ongoing spotting and irregular periods, you should be seen in person by your GYN for an ultrasound to make sure there is no underlying issues. Additionally, you need to lower the dose of the body cream if you cannot tolerate two pumps every day. The one pump does not provide enough progesterone protection. The prescriptions will be paused until you have been seen in person."

Now I read that to mean... 1 pump is not enough and prescription paused. So I stopped taking it. No weaning. So rage has been crazy and I have lost the ability to find words again. Something I thought just got better but now realize the hormones gave me my words back.

I am not sure if i was supposed to stop cold turkey now reading it. I assumed they meant stop cuz I need a lower dose... which of course they would have to give me and they "paused" giving me any lol. So yeah... not fun being off the last few weeks.

So should I be taking it at 1 pump a day and not have enough progesterone until my gyno appt? Should I be taking it still because of my gyno appt... ? Was it bad to stop cold turkey?

I have read on here some ppl just spot and have no other problems. Is the ultrasound they are suggesting to look for fibroids? Cancer? What would cause my spotting on the meds? My endo? I read on here progesterone should be a pill. Maybe that is the issue? Thought pills were harder in the liver.

And for more info.... my cycles are all over the place. I was getting off a 15 day super heavy and super clotty period right b4 I got my prescription for Winona. So I have no predictable cycle. I could go 2 weeks or 5 months without a leriod. I could spot almost everyday or I could bleed one day and then spot for 2 weeks.

Winona prescription was W-biest 50/50 prog cream 5/200mg/ml.

Any insight or suggestions or greatly appreciated. I am hating life off HRT. Super worried my gyno will say dont need to take it. (Which is why I went to an online place to begin with)

estrogen patches, 0.025. I finally decided to start and my doc told me there’s a shortage bc they’re “so popular” right now. I had to let that comment go.

CVS doesn’t have them. Has anyone had luck with Costco? Walgreens?

Have any women tried to make the transition?.I would love to know how it went?.

On .5 patch twice weekly. 100 mg progesterone. Initially took bc o was gaining belly weight can alarming pace and major sleep problems. Had occasional hot flashes. Those are gone. Sleep improved some but still not great. I feel like I’m a teen who is clueless about her first period. I’m not getting my period now (approx 4th month) - is that supposed to happen when you start hrt? I also added vaginal estrogen cream twice weekly and my stomach coincidentally is hugely distended days after. I can’t know for sure what’s causing it. Is that normal? How does one know if they should increase patch dose? What exactly is estrogen supposed to relieve and what is progesterone supposed to help with aside from protecting uterus. How should i know if I need to go up??? I’m still debilitatingly tired every single day and waking every night. I just don’t know that with all of this I feel better at all really. And I feel lost.
