ESTRADIOL AND PROGESTERONE vs NORETHINDRONE ACETATE AND ETHINYL ESTRADIOL AND FERROUS FUMARATE

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

I live in Ohio and today is the first day for recreational. I had been vacillating about getting a medical card but didn't know if I would be eligible. and the cost. etc.. but we finally got recreational and I am looking at some of these Gummies they have and they have descriptions of "energizing"

To preface this post, before I started transitioning nearly 2 years ago, I genuinely appreciated the posts from people who were further along in their transition than I was who shared their wisdom about the lessons they'd learned during their own journey. I've had this post more or less saved in my

I've been in perimenopause for probably 5-7 years, but with no noticeable symptoms besides wonky periods. Until recently. Migraines, hot flashes, mood swings, can't sleep, everything is dry and I'm constantly exhausted. I've been on a mission to try everything in my power to manage these symptoms, s

Hi pharmacy peeps! I'm a specialty pharmacist and have been for years, so I wanted to double-check this. 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 fellow pharmacy friends, just wanted to tell you a tale of my Wednesday. To preface, I don’t care that they call corporate to complain about me, rather, I’d LOVE to hear how that conversation goes. To the story. It’s Wednesday, 1:26pm, 4 minutes until we close for lunch until 2pm. I’m helping

I work in Europe and when visiting this subreddit, I'm surprised how strict the retail pharmacy sector seems to be in the US. Counting pills, for example. In my country, we use blisters. The patient needs 14 actual pills, but the smallest package has 28? Just give them 28 then. Dispensing single tab

Patient of a certain age, let’s call her Karen. She was rx ator 40 and metf 500 as a new patient from a local and well respected PCP MD. She called to inform me that she would not be taking either med as her anemia is what is causing her a1c issue and her PPI was not allowing absorption of the free

Imagine going to urgent care with whatever bullshit needed this script...

I wanted something like Lo Loestrin Fe but with more hormones to hopefully stop the irregular bleeding/spotting I've had for like 3 months while taking it. I asked for Loestrin 24 FE to combat this, (and hopefully the low libido/low mood /fatigue hopefully, please share your experience if you have o

Hello all! Like the title says, I have a new job with new health insurance and the pill I've been taking for the last 9 years (Minastrin 24 FE) is no longer covered on my new plan. I had GREAT results with Minastrin - no mood changes, no weight gain, libido unaffected, no more periods - so I am very
