Have you heard about the "timing hypothesis"? What questions remain - tell me in the comments!

@thatsps2u 2 года назад

Thank you for this information. And thank you for being so thoughtful to those of us who don't have a uterus. I'm a healthy and active 53 year old and I've been on an estrodial patch (0.1 mg/day) for almost 7 years. I've definitely experienced a lack of education and attention about menopause from the GPs I've seen. I'm wondering if there are signs that I should be looking for that it's time to change my dose or go off of estrodial. My symptoms were pretty severe, so the idea of not being on it is terrifying. Can I stay on it forever?

@winnylola126 2 года назад

Thank you so so much. Peri-menopause has been hell on earth for me. My life came to a halt out of no where.

@user-yp1io4eh3x 11 месяцев назад

Thank you so much for this video. I’m 60 years old, and in great health. But in the last six months it’s been absolutely horrible. The hot flashes, brain fog, joint pain, and I looked in the mirror and OMG I couldn’t believe my skin. Trying to talk to different doctors telling me no you’re too old. HRT wasn’t gonna do anything for ME if I was to start on HRT now your way outside of the window. Just so many excuses I even had a doctor ask me do you have grandchildren my reply was no why? He then proceeded to say because if you had grandchildren that would take your mind off all the stuff that you’re going through🤬really.

@shelleykapp9637 23 дня назад

That is a misogynist disguised as a "doctor" I'm so sorry. I've experienced a similar dismissive attitude from my GP. Now I'm on the search for a new doctor.

@marybethcoonrod9424 2 года назад

What is the dosage you recommend for the transdermal estradiol patch? I was prescribed .025 mg, but I thought the minimum dosage to prevent diseases of menopause was .05 mg. Is there a study I can refer to?

@lisaatp 2 года назад

THANK YOU!!! 10 years out… doc has never offered hormone therapy and now realizing this is a fail on her part… waiting for appt with local menopause specialist and was wondering if it is too late.

@amredrisco8416 Год назад

Similar story for me 🤔if my doctor refuses to prescribe will probably go to a menopause specialist....

What is the recommended dose of vit D that we should take?

@kerryozgirl6370 2 года назад

I've been on HRT since December and I am 54 years old. Prior to starting HRT I took quite a number of supplements to address the symptoms of menopause. I stopped taking them so that I could monitor the progress of the HRT. Can you please advise which supplements I should be taking now that I am also on HRT. Thanks from Australia.

I’m 50, menopausal symptoms started 2-3 years ago, very slowly and far between. Had hysterectomy (ONLY uterus removed) for fibroids at ago 29. No hormone replacement until last month. Started BHRT, Biest/progesterone cream (that’s what it says on my prescription applicator) about 2 weeks ago. My saliva hormone test came back with super low estrogen, low progesterone, testosterone was low/normal, DHEA was low and cortisol was low. ER visit in August 2021 for rapid heart rate and palpitations that have progressively been getting more frequent over past about 1.5 years (very sporadic) tests came back as low potassium (hypokalemia) and dehydration. All my cardiology test have come back normal (7 day monitor, multiple EKG’s, echocardiogram)… that’s when I asked the doctors about menopause and hormones… at that point I was tested! In your opinion is progesterone what I should be taking if I don’t have a uterus? My estrogen was so low that I just had a down arrow on the chart… Estrogen was by far the lowest out of the five hormones that were tested… any input that you could give me on what I should speak with my gynecologist about would be very much appreciated ❤️ also, I get dizzy and or lightheaded sometimes quite easily so I’m thinking my electrolytes are unbalanced…

@winnylola126 2 года назад

The dizziness could be related to low iron or anemia. I recommend you go see your gyro soon and ask to be put on HRT.

@Sweetest_of_Seven Год назад

@@jennieoh8543 that’s what thought. Stopped my bio identical hormones after about 4-5 weeks and I’m trying to manage things on my own with whole food nourishment and improving my sleep quality. So far things are getting better as I continue… thanks for the response.

What is the minimum dosage of Estradiol to be effective to help restore cognitive health , bone health and the function of the cardiovascular system. Is it 1mg ?

@pallavisreetambraparni6995 26 дней назад

I don't think I want to take hrt after I hit menopause. I am eating lots of berries, flaxseed, olives, olive oil, cruciferous veggies like broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, spinach, kale, chickpeas, black eyed peas, lentils, navy beans, white beans, black beans, etc.. I want to replace lost estrogen naturally.

@Donnaconrad1 2 года назад

I am on Hormone therapy. I inject estradiol and testosterone and have since 30 and now I am 52. How do you feel about estradiol injections with testosterone??? Please answer this question. I have asked before thanks so much

@maryconnor6173 2 года назад

Can you advise on HRT and fibroids? My doctor has finally prescribed HRT but 3 weeks in I have a bleed which is a bit like a proper period and quite heavy. I’ve been reading that fibroids can be triggered by HRT. I’m on continuous 1.0 estradiol gel and micronised progesterone 100mg. 💕

@lourdeslayton332 Год назад

Hello! So what your saying if you start taking HRT after the 10 year time frame you don't get the cardiovascular benefits that come with taking hrt? I'm 6 years post menapausel and would like to start taking HRT. I've never had any menapasuel symtoms that affect my way of life. But I do have a family history of heart attacks, oestoporosis, and alzheimers. Please advice!

@air-conditionedgypsy8863 Год назад

Thank you so much for this information. I’m a very young, healthy, athletic 67 year old. My vagina has atrophied so terribly I can’t even imagine having sexual relationship it’s too painful. I was on estrogen oral until 4 years ago it became inaccessible bc of doctors. The last gyn flatly told me I was “too old”. Excuse me while I shuffle off to my rocking chair! Not. Since that, I’m self-medicating with estrogen I buy online from Mexico. I would prefer to be treated by dr., I don’t have the time don’t want to fall out of another “window”.

@winning3329 Год назад

We need a movement to push these doctors to take menopause seriously.

@destresswithyoga 2 года назад

I’m 53 and still have my period. It’s sporadic, sometimes I won’t have one for 5 months and then I will get it back every other month. My GYN put me on the pill. Is that the same as hormone Therapy.?

@movetothrive 5 месяцев назад

Hi. I am47 and perimenopausal, but I still have regular periods . I read that tak8ng estrogen before menopause can helpnprevent bone loss better than starting after menopause. I'm wondering what you think of doing this. And if one does take iit when in perimenopause, how would one know whether they have entered menopause.

@clarewalters5189 3 месяца назад

I’ve been wondering if my mums too old at 70 to start? Menopause was 53. She’s never been the same since mentally or physically. Would the cons outweigh the pros in her case?

@LGCblessed 2 года назад

Hi. I'm 56 and started HT right away when menopause kicked at the age 51. I'm healthy except for a bit excess weight and I just wonder if you could talk about post menopause. Do I need to take hormones for the rest of my life?

@QueenBee-xd1xk Год назад

I have done a lot of reading of the research and yes you can and should take the rest of your life

@mette.aa.petersson 2 года назад

Is it ok to use vaginal estrogen creams every night for more than a month in the beginning? If I stop for more than 24 hours my bladder symptoms come right back 🥺

@hollyd8350 2 месяца назад

For me, the postmenopausal years have been 17. My last mission cycle was at 43 and now I’m 60. I’m incredibly healthy actually all of my test results and all my scans have come back very good is 17 years just a no go for me on HRT?

@DebMcCabe Месяц назад

I'm in exactly the same boat. Just started hrt a few months ago. So, yes, it can be done.

@pejisan 3 месяца назад

can you share the studies that show higher risk over 60,70 etc. ? i've looked and it seems like the timing hypothesis is pure theory I was in the cohort damaged when HRT was demonized by the WHI and I feel like it is still happening

@DebMcCabe Месяц назад

I'd like to see these studies too and see what the relative and absolute risks are.

@debraforster2460 Месяц назад

Just had a full hysterectomy x ovaries included x its been 3months since operation x I am 57 now and wondering if hormone therapy would be good for me? Hugs Debs xx

@winnylola126 2 года назад

Can we take HRT in Peri-menopause?

@jenniferortiz7963 2 года назад

Yes- it’s so hard to find a doctor to do it though if they are not familiar with NAMS or a menopause specialist. Women shouldn’t have to suffer through perimenopause, but not enough doctors are familiar with the newest and best info on hrt/women’s health.

@winning3329 Год назад

@@jenniferortiz7963 thank you for this comment. It's sad women suffer because of menopause is not taken seriously.
