ESTRADIOL AND PROGESTERONE vs NORGESTIMATE 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.

**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!

Hello all! I’m a 44 year old woman that has been going through perimenopause symptoms. Spoiler alert: not fun lol.

I’ve been using Tri-sprintec and generics to it for about 7 months now. I love it, I have had some pros and cons though. I take my pills every night within 1-2hrs before or after 10:20pm (EST). I do a break week every pack. I’ve only ever missed two pills only to take them ASAP and then continue my
