9:20 The one hitch when it comes to estrogen replacement: use a source that travels throughout your body (all forms but some for the vagina). 21:06 Overview of travellers vs non travellers 21:25 Compounded estrogen differs from pharmaceutical one in lacking standardization and thus requiring increased control of their preventative effects. 23:58 Herbal and other OTC estrogens are much, much too weak. 25:35 Most pharmaceutical estrogens are bio-identical. 26:02 Summary

You'll be surprised at how much better your visit goes when you're educated. If you want to take HRT, be sure to ask for it to alleviate your symptoms of menopause. That's the "politically correct" reason for taking it. (Video 100, not yet aired) Preventing these disease is considered the secondary "perk," although, for many women, it's their main reason for wanting it.

I'll discuss absolutely everything. Most of what you've heard about estrogen and breast cancer is complete misinformation. It is very unlikely that estrogen causes breast cancer. What causes breast cancer is the number of menstrual cycles you've had. The more you've had, the higher your risk of breast cancer. The women with the lowest risk for breast cancer are women who have had the most pregnancies. And the very highest levels of estrogen are during pregnancy. So it just doesn't make sense that the women who have had the highest levels of estrogen for the longest periods of time would have the lowest rates of breast cancer. There are so many misconceptions about estrogen and breast cancer that confuse women. Here are the facts: Your breasts have ALWAYS responded to hormones. They grew at puberty because of hormones. You had breast pain and breast growth during pregnancy because of hormones. You had breast swelling and breast pain with PMS because of hormones. So, your breasts are supposed to respond to hormones. Few women know the real risk factors for breast cancer. Here they are: 1) Personal history of breast cancer 2) Family history of breast cancer ... BUT, the ONLY relatives that contribute in any way to this risk are your MATERNAL, FIRST-DEGREE relatives. That means, only your mother, your sister, and your daughter. That's it. No one else matters. And your sister has to have your same mother. None of your father's relatives have anything to do with your risk for breast cancer. 3) Age: Your risk increases with age, period! 4) Age at the time of your 1st full-term pregnancy. The older you were, the greater your risk. 5) Number of pregnancies. The fewer you've had, the greater your risk. 6) Age at which you had your first period. The younger you were, the greater your risk. 7) Age at which you began post-menopause. The older you were, the greater your risk. NOTE: Factors 4 - 7 are all about only one thing: The number of menstrual periods you've had in your lifetime. The more you've had, the greater your risk, period! Now, think about how ironic that is. The women who have had the highest levels of estrogen are the women who have had the most pregnancies. Yet, they are the women with the lowest risks of breast cancer. If estrogen caused breast cancer, the reverse would be true. 8) Smoking 9) Activity level. The less active you are, the higher your risk. 10) Body weight. The heavier you are, there greater your risk. 11) Diet. The more fat (animal fat) in your diet, the greater your risk. 12) Benign breast disease. This is simply because it makes it more difficult to diagnose breast cancer. 13) Alcohol consumption. Those 2 glasses of red wine per day that decrease a heart attack increase your risk for breast cancer. 14) Exposure to intense radiation, like radiation therapy. 15) Dense breasts, which are characteristic of women who have not had children. Okay, so putting this into perspective, most of what you've heard about estrogen causing breast cancer is untrue. Not only do women spread that misinformation among themselves, the WHI study that came out in 2002 had findings that you never heard about. Here's what you did not hear about the WHI study: The women who took estrogen all by itself (because they did not have their uteri) had lower rates of breast cancer. That's another piece of evidence that supports the fact that it's the CYCLES of estrogen AND progesterone that increases your risk for breast cancer, not estrogen all by itself. Knowing these facts can help you so much. Here's what you're left with: Taking HRT will help prevent (1) heart attack, (2) osteoporosis, and (3) Alzheimer's. Taking HRT does not cause breast cancer. If you don't take HRT, and you get one of these other diseases, as well as all the symptoms of menopause, will that make you happier, or not? Thinking about this will help you arrive at your answer. I think knowing the facts and being able to weigh them for yourself is the most important thing of all. Find a doctor who WILL talk about it. Not having the conversation in a factual manner is unacceptable. The choice is entirely yours. But you deserve the facts.

I have had several drs tell me that at any given point in time taking an FSH blood test can give readings that drastically vary. 2) my sister had an estrogen based breast cancer at 46 so drs flat out refuse to give me any type of estrogen. I have even offered to sign papers stating I will not hold the libel for any short or long term consequences. Thank you for any help you can offer :)

@MenopauseTaylor

6 жыл бұрын

Here are the answers: 1) I'm not sure what you mean by "full-blown menopause." There are phases of menopause: When people use the word "menopause," they're grouping the phases together, which is very misleading. "Pre-menopause" means before menopause begins. This phase lasts from the time you go through puberty until you start to enter the 2nd phase. Then, one day, you start transitioning into the 2nd phase: Peri-menopause. "Peri" means time surrounding or near. So "peri-menopause" is the time surrounding or near the transition into the menopausal portion of your life. Peri-menopause spans the time between the beginning of your menopausal transition until the endo of your menopausal transition. So, it's a lot like the time between the beginning of puberty & the end of puberty. It spans the time for that first symptom of menopause until the transition is finished. Women start peri-menopause anywhere between the ages of 40 & 50. But, unlike puberty, which lasts only a couple of years, peri-menopause can last for up to 10 years. And the symptoms of peri-menopause can be continuous or intermittent. Most women notice wacky periods primarily. And there's a reason for that. Peri-menopause is all about progesterone; low progesterone. The low progesterone causes a failure to ovulate. But your estrogen is still normal. Now, this imbalance in your estrogen & progesterone during peri-menopause confuses your ovaries. And, instead of functioning normally as they used to, they begin to function erratically. And because your ovaries are functioning erratically, you ovulate erratically. And all this erratic behavior makes your FSH a rollercoaster. It's only one snapshot in time and be all over the map. After one to ten years of this chaos of wacky periods, with or without other symptoms, you finally reach the phase of "post-menopause." Now, unfortunately, most women view the end of peri-menopause as the end. But nothing could be farther from the truth. The truth is that the end of peri-menopause is merely the beginning of post-menopause. And you are post-menopausal for the rest of your life. So, here you have women paying a lot of attention to the transitions & ignoring the next 50 years of their lives. That's just backward. Post-menopause is when your estrogen drops. And estrogen is YOUR female hormone. Its loss is what's associated with the real issues of menopause. Post means after. So, post-menopause is after the transition ends. By definition, you are post-menopausal when you have gone for 12 consecutive months without a period. The key word is "consecutive." So, this is when your progesterone is already gone, & now your estrogen disappears. It's not about being unable to get pregnant any more. Now, it's about heart attack, osteoporosis, & Alzheimer's Disease. The average age of post-menopause is 51. 2) There had never been any rule that said YOU can't take hormones if SOMEON ELSE had breast cancer. However, women have extrapolate the fear of breast cancer to make it so that they are afraid to take it if they even know anyone who has had it. And doctors respond to fear by fearing litigation. The fact is that there is no proof that estrogen even causes breast cancer! It's actually very unlikely that estrogen causes breast cancer. What causes breast cancer is the number of menstrual cycles you've had. The more you've had, the higher your risk of breast cancer. The women with the lowest risk for breast cancer are women who have had the most pregnancies. And the very highest levels of estrogen are during pregnancy. So it just doesn't make sense that the women who have had the highest levels of estrogen for the longest periods of time would have the lowest rates of breast cancer.

I was reading all of the comments, and it caused me to realize just how desperate so many of us are to be healthy in our menopause years. I read a comment, stating after starting an estrogen patch, she started to bleed. That is what happened to me, I started the patch about 6-7 years ago, started to bleed and it scared me so badly, I unfortunately stopped. Bad decision. I’m still on the fence about restarting my over the counter creams ( that had clearly given me symptom relief), I know you are making a real difference for me, all of us! Sending love ❤️

So many women learn from reading these comments and answers. In the feedback from the KZread community, I've learned that my answers are "no others in the history of KZread!" My goal is to educate. So that's what i do, whether I'm making a video or answering these questions. Just think: If every woman had this education BEFORE encountering the things that scare them, they'd know what to expect, know how to manage it, and know that they've got their priorities straight from the start. My goal is to teach women about this stuff no matter where they are in this journey.

Dr. Taylor, I recently came across your youtube channel several weeks ago. I'm not sure where I learn more--listening to your videos or reading the comments sections! I'm about to turn 42 y/o and a few years ago my period length shortened from 7 days to 3 days. I feel entirely normal/good thank God, except for a chronic post-nasal drip that even the Mayo Clinic cannot find the cause (everything looks normal to them and I live a healthy lifestyle); the onset was sometime after the periods changed, so the chronology is my only clue. I've not heard of anyone associating post-nasal drip with hormonal changes, but I have NO idea what else it could be. I'm on a major learning curve these days trying to absorb as much HRT info as possible before hunting down a good practitioner (thank you for the NAMS resource). THANK YOU SO MUCH for your capable efforts to educate the public on such an incredibly confusing subject. Even if this post-nasal drip has nothing to do with my perimenopause, I feel incredibly fortunate to have come across your valuable input for the crucial transition years that lay ahead for me. BEST Regards 🌟

Welcome aboard to "Menopause Taylor University." You'll find that if you start at the very first video (going by the number after each title), you'll understand absolutely everything. And you'll be shocked at what you didn't know, and delighted that you now do know. Each video builds on the last. It's just like school: You had to learn the alphabet before you could read. And nowadays, there are so many overwhelming misconceptions that women mistake as facts ... that you just don't know what you don't know. I respond to all comments here on KZread daily. So, I will answer all your questions ... but I'll also know if you aren't watching the videos in order. (I'm like your mother. I have eyes in the back of my head!) And if you need me to help you tailor anything to your personal situation, you can schedule a one-on-one consultation at MenopauseTaylor.ME any time.

Thank you so much you don't have idea how much you help as.😊

I so appreciate it that you are telling me.

Where have you been our entire lives Dr B? Seriously I’d considered myself a fairly informed and intelligent individual until I discovered your channel! Approaching 60 can’t even recall when my last period was maybe 10 years ago, is it too late for me - have I missed the “window of opportunity” to commence taking estrogen? Meanwhile as I attempt a “natural” menopause am struggling with low energy levels, heart palpitations and a bladder that’s weakening by the day :(

Gloria, You are normal. This is precisely why I provide this education to women. Unfortunately, I am the first and the only person on Planet Earth to ever do so. Menopause is THE most neglected topic on earth. I would love to help you, and I can certainly do so, but only in a consultation. And you will probably discover that you have many more options than you expected. So, please, please consider scheduling one. This is precisely the kind of thing for which I do one-on-one consultations. You definitely need one. No two women are alike, and addressing your situation requires tailoring all the facts specifically to YOU. I'm in the business of educating you about everything you need to know and do in order to get exactly what you want for managing your menopause your way. So, here's how a consultation works: 1) You would schedule a one-on-one consultation at my website, MenopauseTaylor.ME, choosing a time that is convenient for you. I do consultations on Skype, FaceTime. Facebook Messenger, What’s App, and the phone. (But very shortly, I’ll have my own video platform embedded in my website.) 2) I would send you an email to confirm that you are scheduled for the stated time, and invite you to send me as much information about yourself as you please. You can make it brimming with details and tell me about your reproductive life, any gynecologic problems you've had, your symptoms of peri-menopause, and your symptoms of post-menopause. You can include all your fears, concerns, and goals for your menopause management. You may also send me any labs, mammogram results, bone density results, etc. that you would like me to include in designing your protocol. If you want to adhere to a certain category of management options (herbs or diet & lifestyle, or whatever), you should tell me that. I will give you a 5-day deadline for sending all materials, and will not accept anything after that date. 3) I'll get busy creating a document that gives you all the education you need to understand absolutely everything, points out the pros and cons of each option, and tailors it all to YOU, using the information you have provided. The document will be loooooong. Most are over 30 pages. 4) I will send you the document by email 72 hours before your consultation. You will benefit greatly by reading it in advance. Light bulbs will go off like crazy, and if you're like most women, you'll feel that you've already gotten your money's worth. 5) During your consultation, we will review the document and address any issues you want in order to fine tune everything and determine your best options. I'll tell you exactly how to find the right kind of professional, how to have the conversation in order to get what you want, and the nuances of things like guidelines and insurance. I leave nothing unaddressed. 6) You will go to a professional of your choosing in order to get the actual hormones or whatever you choose to use. 7) After the first consultation, I'll hold your hand (forever if you want me to). In other words, you'll be able to schedule mini-consultations (30-minute, in addition to full consultations) whenever you need to. I'll keep records of your situation. Most women schedule mini-consultation whenever they go to the doctor and don't understand what he or she said, or why. I translate. I make sense of everything. Most schedule mini-consultation whenever they have a new test and they want me to explain the results. And all schedule mini-consultation whenever their situation changes and they need to re-weigh and re-balance their options. The time you spend with me will make everything about working with any other professional so easy. And they will love the fact that you have an actual education rather than a bunch of misconceptions that you got from the Internet. If your initial hormone regimen is not right, you'll want to consult with me before going to your doctor. I can prepare you for what to expect and what to request. So, that's my role. And nobody else on earth does this kind of thing but me. So, I hope you schedule a consultation and let me hold your hand (figuratively). I hope to meet you soon! Menopause Taylor

Thank you for your videos , they are great and I try to follow them with much interest. The problem with them is that I feel somewhat a «rara avis»....I don,t miss (in postmenopause for one year) my estrogens at all....though I am quite informed of the consequences of their lack. My problem is that I felt mood swings, anxiety, headaches, acne, PMS, breast pain.....all my life!!!!!....Things went even worse with perimenopause...I was on the verge of a nervous attack with my estrogens really high....until one day .....or one month (I can,t be exact on it)...in which everything changed for the better.....at least......first time in my whole life that I don,t feel anxiety....I haven,t had a spot for a year.....my breast doesn,t hurt (yuhuuuuu), and I am now a new relaxed, serene person.....different from the one I had been since my adolescence.....so now what????... Should I take estrogens to be again my.old self?? I am really confused. On the one hand I feel great....on the other I am afraid of the long term consequences of menopause. I am 48 eight.....menopausal and everything has greatly improved but for the vagina dryness.... I am Spanish, and here in my country....have visited three different gynecologists and seen almost all your videos and feel anyway confused.....don,t know what to do.....

Some women have many symptoms related to their CYCLES. It sounds tp me like you were one of those women. With CYCLES, it's the up and down fluctuations of estrogen and progesterone that make you feel so crummy. As long as you don't have fluctuations hormones, you should feel great. So, if you take hormones, do not take them in a manner to mimic your cycles. Take them in a CONTINUOUS manner, in which you take the same thing every single day, That way, you will have no cycles, and none of the symptoms that come with fluctuating hormones. But you will get the benefits of preventing the disease that come with loss of estrogen.

There are hundreds of studies. Go to Menopause.org, which is the North American Menopause Society. That journal presents studies every month. Another one is called "Climacteric." It's by the International Menopause Society. All the medial journals publish these things all the time. The problem is that only the menopause specialists (like me) read them. If you watch my videos in order, beginning with the every first one, you'll discover so many things that you deserve to know but don't because of all the misconceptions that are so pervasive in our society.

Hi there, I'm 47 yrs old. For the past 3 years I've been dizzy (occasional spins but mostly a rocking sensation) I have been checked out by many doctors. All imaging and tests come back normal. Could it be perimenopause? In my early 40's I started to experience perimenooause. Currently I haven't had a period in 8 months. My FSH came back at 38. My OBGYN told me it means I'm menopausal. Do you think all this dizziness I'm having could be hormone related? Will started HRT's make the dizziness worse? Thanks you so much. Love your videos. I've learned so much.

Words cannot describe my gratitude to you for your exceptional work on these Menopausal videos. I thought that I was truly over the menopause until just in the last few months I started having a myriad of symptoms including frequent UTI's. It was only from watching your videos that I saw that these too, were related to an oestrogen deficiency. The cystitis like feelings (which I'd had only once before as a teenager) prompted me to take an unexpected cancellation with my GP just the day after my message to you. Armed with the info from your videos, I noted down what I needed to discuss with him. And, much to my surprise, he said "how about we put you back on HRT for 6 months and see how you get on"? Je vous remercie enormement! ps. Your skin is exceptional!

I was about to start with the gel but suddenly panicked over potential transfer onto my children. My youngest daughter has some early puberty symptoms at 8 yo and currently under consultant. Will i have to be hyper vigilant cleaning the bath tub meticulously and maybe not washing my clothes in contact with the gel with her clothes? Cannot find much information on the net.

Rose, This requires tailoring everything specifically to YOU. It doesn't matter what anybody "thinks." All that matters is what's right for YOUR BODY. Please schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I do them all online.

OMG!!!! I'm not even halfway into this video and I'm loving it.....you're ssso good and beautiful at the same time. "However" I'm aching to know more about estregen patches or in any shape or form that does not make me put on weight. And by the way Taylor, I've just "stumbled " and clicked on this video because I was searching for answers. I'm on ESTRADOT patches but they've discontinued......can you help please. Thank you

Rose, The best thing you can do is schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I will teach you everything you need to know and tailor it all specifically tp YOU. You cannot learn what you need to know by watching my videos randomly. This channel is really "Menopause University." If you don't want to start with video 1 and watch them all in order, you can get my book, get the 15 webinars (in order), or schedule a consultation. There is just no quick-fix solution.

Melissa, schedule a consultation with me. I'll help you determine where you are in terms of your estrogen window, address all your options, & tailor all the benefits & risks of each specifically to YOU. This is precisely the kind of thing for which I do one-on-one consultations. You definitely need one. No two women are alike, and addressing your situation requires tailoring all the facts specifically to YOU. I'm in the business of educating you about everything you need to know and do in order to get exactly what you want for managing your menopause your way. So, here's how a consultation works: 1) You would schedule a one-on-one consultation at my website, MenopauseTaylor.ME, choosing a time that is convenient for you. I do consultations on Skype, FaceTime. Facebook Messenger, What’s App, and the phone. 2) I would send you an email to confirm that you are scheduled for the stated time, and invite you to send me as much information about yourself as you please. You can make it brimming with details and tell me about your reproductive life, any gynecologic problems you've had, your symptoms of peri-menopause, and your symptoms of post-menopause. You can include all your fears, concerns, and goals for your menopause management. You may also send me any labs, mammogram results, bone density results, etc. that you would like me to include in designing your protocol. For instance, if you want to adhere to a certain category of management options (herbs or diet & lifestyle, or whatever), you should tell me that. I will give you a deadline for sending all materials, and will not accept anything after that date. 3) I'll get busy creating a document that gives you all the education you need to understand absolutely everything, points out the pros and cons of each option, and tailors it all to YOU, using the information you have provided. The document will be loooooong. Most are over 30 pages. 4) I will send you the document by email 48 hours before your consultation. You will benefit greatly by reading it in advance. Light bulbs will go off like crazy, and if you're like most women, you'll feel that you've already gotten your money's worth. 5) During your consultation, we will review the document and address any issues you want in order to fine tune everything and determine your best options. I'll tell you exactly how to find the right kind of professional, how to have the conversation in order to get what you want, and the nuances of things like guidelines and insurance. I leave nothing unaddressed. 6) You will go to a professional of your choosing in order to get the actual hormones or whatever you choose to use. 7) After the first consultation, I'll hold your hand (forever if you want me to). In other words, you'll be able to schedule mini-consultations (15-minute or 30-minute, in addition to full consultations) whenever you need to. I'll keep records of your situation. Most women schedule mini-consultation whenever they go to the doctor and don't understand what he or she said, or why. I translate. I make sense of everything. Most schedule mini-consultation whenever they have a new test and they want me to explain the results. And all schedule mini-consultation whenever their situation changes and they need to re-weigh and re-balance their options. The time you spend with me will make everything about working with any other professional so easy. And they will love the fact that you have an actual education rather than a bunch of misconceptions that you got from the Internet. If your initial hormone regimen is not right, you'll want to consult with me before going to your doctor. I can prepare you for what to expect and what to request. So, that's my role. And nobody else on earth does this kind of thing but me. So, I hope you schedule a consultation and let me hold your hand (figuratively). I hope to meet you soon!

Would you mind telling me what video Dr. Taylor answers this question for you? Thank you.

I have a question for you. I couldn't take any form of birth control, no matter what brand or dosage, without the hormones in them causing me severe and debilitating migraines. So, I just quit taking them and eventually got a tubal ligation. If I take HRT therapy or just some kind of estrogen, will it just cause the horrible migraines for me too?

I have recently suffered from a pulmonary thrombosis. My doctor has taken me off HRT. I had a full hysterectomy at 30 and am now 49 years old. I am taking a natural estrogen product called Promensil double strength. Will it give me the same benefits as the pharmaceutical estrogens? I am Beside myself with worry.

@MenopauseTaylor

6 жыл бұрын

No. But you may not be a candidate for pharmaceutical estrogen. The strengths and benefits are completely different between pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical (herbal or compounded) estrogens. Promensil is PROGESTERONE. Progesterone has nothing to do with the estrogen window. Please watch videos 23 -44. But, go all the way back to video 1 and start at the beginning. This series is not designed for jumping around. If you start at the beginning and watch them in order, I guarantee that you will understand everything, You owe it to yourself to do that. But remember, the name of the game is to maximize your benefits and minimize your risks. You wouldn't want to use something that caused a blood clot. And your history of thrombosis means you're at high risk of a blood clot. So you have to COMPENSATE (video 78) for the benefits of estrogen without taking estrogen. You really must watch these in order. Knowledge will lessen your fear.

Once again, thank you so much for educating us. I am watching all your videos in series. In this list of different form which travel throughout the body or stay in vagina, I did not see IUD. I might have missed if you said it. Can you please tell me which catagory it belongs to?

@MenopauseTaylor

5 ай бұрын

No IUD contains estrogen. So you are asking about a topic outside the scope of this video. It sounds like you have missed some of the basics. IUDs contain either no hormones or only progestin. Those that contain progestin stay localized to your uterus.

I got a cream called bi estro It is estradiol and estriol and 1 full pump is 1mg of estriol and 0.25 mg of estradiol. How much is optimal?

What if my gynecologist can only prescribe either estrogen pills or patches for me? How do I get the creams or gels that work at the same strength the pills and patches do?

@MenopauseTaylor

6 жыл бұрын

Do you mean compounded bioidentical creams or gels? If so, you can't be sure they're the same strength. The compounding industry does not have the same standards as the pharmaceutical industry. There's no FDA approval, and no requirement to ensure consistency or purity. If you want bioidentical pharmaceutical products, all the gels, patches, sprays, and vaginal rings that are made by pharmaceutical companies are bioidentical, also. Be sure to watch videos 23, 32, & 37. If you watch my videos in order, there's no way you won't understand everything. They are not designed for jumping around. Each video builds on the next. I do everything in my power to make absolutely sure I answer your questions before you can even ask them.

You explained about taking the minimal dosage but can you take too much œstrogènes ? I’m using a gel but sometimes the pump doesn’t serve you an equal amount each time. Could this be a pbm in the long term ?

Dr. Barbie, my apologies if I missed it, but does Vagifem travel throughout the body? The dose available I saw is 10 mcg. I am wanting to start on estradiol & progesterone but also need something for vaginal atrophy. I have learned about the laser treatment Juliet and femilift and wonder if those treatments work. I am about a year post meno. Thanks for all you do!!

@MenopauseTaylor

No. Vagifem is local and remains only in your vagina. It treats ONLY your vaginal symptoms and does nothing else for any other aspect of menopause. Not only that: The dosage of Vagifem is minuscule. Get this: In one full year's worth of Vagifem tablets, you get the same quantity of estrogen as there is isn must 1 - 2 individual birth control pills. In other words, 1 year = 2 days. Many women who take estrogen that does travel throughout their body STILL need additional estrogen for their vagina. That's because your vagina is very selfish about estrogen, It's also why there are so many vaginal estrogen products that stay confined to your vagina. The vaginal laser treatments are the newest thing available. They work similarly to the laser treatment you can get on your fact to make your skin look younger.

First thank you for providing these informative tutorials!! Truly amazing! My question is regarding the chart for estrogen criteria for preventing diseases of menopause chart. For a spray the chart says to get the benefits a daily dose of .05mg is needed. With Evamist, 1.53mg is the daily dose. Does that mean that that daily dose is providing 30 times more that’s needed for these benefits? Is the .05mg figure correct? Thank you so much for your response! =)

@MenopauseTaylor

No, you are mistaken. The Evamist is designed specifically to deliver a dosage of estradiol that is appropriate for menopause. 1 - 3 sprays daily is the range of dosages. The 0.05 pertains to gels.

Thanks for you reply, I really appreciate your videos, I bought your book and it has been very helpful. I was planning to have a consulate with you, but a little discouraged with your replay. My perimenopause journey has been rollercoaster, I started with the patch and end up with with an 0.1 estradiol patch and iud, loved loved the patch, I had no symptoms , BUT developed an allergic reaction to the patch/adhesive resulting in blistering, then changed to the highest dosage of Divigel and most of the menopause symptoms returned , worst was the insomnia. I removed the IUD after 18 months, because of the side effects, so based on the trauma of the IUD, I am afraid of using the Femring since it is inserted and I might experience the same side effects as the iud. Evamist and Estrogel dosage amounts are similar to Divigel and would cost a small fortune to be similar to the 0.1 patch (extra pumps/sprays). Pills are not an option, so I am trying the compounding cream route now, yet to learn if it going to work and scared that it is not reliable and regulated, hopefully better than nothing. Thanks Tina

I’m having a hard time absorbing any transdermal estrodial products. Does the Femring absorb better because of where it’s placed? Thank you you’ve changed my menopausal life. 🙌

Your bladder will get better, but it takes a little longer than hot flashes and sleep. Remember, you had to train your bladder when you were 2 years old. Much of what your bladder does results from training. So, give it time to remember what to do.

To add to this, if it doesn't get better, go to your urologist and make sure it isn't something else, too. I found out at age 47-48 that I have Interstitial Cystitis (I am 50 now) and take Ditropan for urgency, Azo for pain (I refuse pain meds, but that is just a personal choice) and at night I take 10 mg of Hydroxyzine to lower the histamines in my bladder. My diet didn't affect my IC, but many others find that getting rid of caffeine and acids helps (they make low acid decaf coffee). I am in perimenopause and am finding though that my 'bladder meds' are not as helpful the last few months.. I feel it is more. I am on compounded Progesterone cream, but feel it may be time to try estrogen. I still have my periods, but they are starting to get wonky and I miss one every once in awhile. My biggest complaint is lethargy and moodiness and Progesterone doesn't seem to really do a whole lot for that. I don't get hot flashes, but my core feels warmer now, like all the time... which is great for February in Michigan, but won't be so great come July. lol :-)
