ESTRADIOL AND PROGESTERONE vs NORELGESTROMIN AND ETHINYL ESTRADIOL

I wanted to share my experience seeing an in-person menopause specialist—one recommended by The Menopause Society—because I thought I was on the right path. Unfortunately, it was frustrating and disappointing. I am a 43 year-old female, married, child free by choice, low stress job. I went to The

Just got on hrt last Friday, and the estradiol gel was not available until today Went to pick it up, and the pharmacist really questioned me about it. Asked if I am getting prescriptions at other pharmacies, made me feel like I was drug seeking? I said yes, I already got the testosterone at a compou

**Latest update: 2022-23-08** Hi all! It's the greenhorn Zoey again back with another question about all the confusing parts about being trans again! Me being me, I haven't yet had the courage to step out and post in the bigger trans subs. So for now I'm sticking close to my little secret space surr

Today, I was covering for a colleague and received a new prescription for cyproterone 12.5 mg daily for a patient who is transitioning. She is currently taking Prometrium (micronized progesterone

Hello again! I made my post about wanting to actually have endo confirmed through surgery rather than just throwing birth control at it and hoping it helps, and I wanted to give an update since I had an appointment today with my doctor. Lo and behold, I was prescribed birth control 🤦🏻 She told me

Hello everyone! First time posting here but felt compelled to ask about anyone else’s experience with the Zydus Norelgestromin and ethinyl estradiol patches. I have been on Xulane for about 7 months for the main purpose of helping abate my severe PMDD and I’ve had a lot of success with it! This was

I have been on Xulane for years with positive experiences and I wait by ed OBGYN’s and got a very generic looking box reading “Norelgestromin and Ethinyl Estradiol Transdermal System 150/35 mcg per day” instead.

I began small doses of estrogen at 13 that was built up over time. I'm now on HRT through the Evra patch that gives 203mcg+3

I’m 24, 5’5 and 145lbs. My main reason for using contraception is for acne control and to regulate my periods (I get extremely painful and heavy periods). I was using the Evra contraceptive patch for a few months and most of my side effects only lasted for the first week (mild headaches and nausea).
