I take a pill called Femoston-Conti that is both estrogen and progesterone, I’ve been on it for decades (!) and it helped my hot flashes back in the day. But I would love to speak to someone like Heather about other very annoying symptoms. My gynecologist is nice but not very pro-active or particularly helpful beyond the basics. I’m 64 and live in Switzerland.
I tried both the estrogen pill and the patch, and they worked to a degree to stop the lady garden symptoms, BUT I still felt snarky and irritable. Heather got me to try the ice cream strategy since I am a super sensor with meds... so, the lowest dose of progesterone is the cone, estrogen gel that I can control dose on is the ice cream, and a tiny dose of testosterone is the sprinkles. So I'm future-proofing my person, but at a rate my metabolic system can handle??? I just think everyone is so bespoke, which is why midlife women deserve state-of-the-art healthcare covered for all the solutions. xoxo
