I did it. I just got caught up to your most current video. I, thankfully, stumbled upon on of your videos last spring and watched them in order starting with video #1. It takes some time, but we all stream our favorite shows on Netflix or whatever, and this is just basically this same time commitment but with huge life changing benefits. I have been on HRT for 7 months now and feel VERY confident in my decisons and choices, not to mention I feel fabulous again. I tell and talk to anyone who wants to talk about it and steer them your way. Heck, I even kinda hijacked the Christmas Party conversation for a bit. Thank You!!!!!! Stephanie

Your unit on endometrial uterine cancer is very timely for me. On 12/8/22 I had a total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. The plan was to keep both my ovaries, but they found cancer in my uterus, so they removed my ovaries and lymph nodes. I had FIGO Grade 1, FIGO Stage 1A endometrial uterine cancer. It was contained to my uterus and never moved to the uterine wall. I’m very lucky. At my 2-week post-op I asked to start HRT. The doctor said they don’t give HRT to patients who had endometrial cancer. I feel like I keep getting slapped in the face. I had a hysteroscopy D&C in September to remove uterine polyps. That’s when they found precancerous cells (I had EIN). Slap 1. So the next step was the hysterectomy where they found I had endometrial cancer. Slap 2. They took my ovaries and I started instant menopause. Slap 3. I asked for HRT and they said no. Slap 4. None of my doctors can figure out why I developed EIN or endometrial uterine cancer. I don’t meet the profile. I’m 46 years old, 5’4”, 140 pounds, have never smoked, and have no family history of breast cancer or gynecological cancers. Before my hysterectomy, I had a period every 28 days and it lasted for 5 days. It was heavy, which is why I initially saw my gynecologist, but very regular. I had no perimenopause symptoms. Now I’m having at least 20 hot flashes a day and the night sweats are brutal. But my biggest priority in wanting HRT is wanting to protect myself from Alzheimer’s. My mom started showing signs of dementia at age 60. Now she is 73 and no longer knows who I am. That scares me more than cancer. Today I am 5 weeks post-op, and as I've been healing, I've been binge watching your videos. You bring me a lot of comfort. Thank you for all that you do!

@Menopause Taylor: I'm 59 and have been taking HRT (estradiol gel 0.6mg) and 200 mg progesterone capsules every day without a break for two and half years. About six months ago I had a uterine ultrasound, which shown my endometrial lining was 7mm, so my gynaecologist put me on some meds (not sure what) and told me to take a 2-week break from the progesterone in order to bleed. There was no bleeding - not a drop - so she said to continue both hormones every day without a break. I've been getting cramps in my tummy for the past two weeks, so I had an ultrasound scan today at my gynaecologists office. However, there was a substitute doctor there as my usual one was on holiday, and she was very young (not that that should really matter, but maybe she slacks experience). It seems my endometrial lining is now 1 cm and there are also some large dark patches, so I need to have a biopsy. She told me to continue taking the 200 mg progesterone continuously every evening (I take them at night as they make me sleepy) and to stop the estradiol altogether. I asked if I should cut it our gradually, so she said that might actually be better, but she seemed very unsure. What do you think - should I keep taking the progesterone every night and reduce the estradiol by more skipping more days each week? I'm so confused.

My doc gave me vag estrogen and oral progesterone, I admit since I started taking progesterone I sleep better and feel great . Progesterone is like a game changer for me . I simply sleep like a baby

@MenopauseTaylor Год назад

Eva, Most women have the misconception that progesterone “helps you sleep.” But the reality is not quite as advertised. Estrogen is actually the hormone that helps you sleep … like a baby, that is. Progesterone can help you sleep, but more like a zombie than a baby. Here are the facts: Insomnia is a symptom of estrogen deficiency. So if you take adequate estrogen, you will sleep deeply and continuously throughout the night and wake up perky and energetic in the morning. But if you take progesterone, things will be a bit different. Instead of just getting a good night’s sleep, it will make it difficult for you to wake up in the morning, make you feel sluggish when you do get up, and leave you feeling like a zombie all day. You’ll feel like you could sleep standing up. And you’ll have a hard time being productive. The reason women “hear” that they should take it at night is because the Alternative community claims that it helps you sleep. Progesterone gives you that all-day drugged, drowsy, you-could-sleep-while-standing-up feeling that is so characteristic of early pregnancy. With progesterone, you do not merely get a good night’s sleep. You get a sluggishness that lasts all day (which is good during pregnancy because it makes you lazy so that the baby gets more calories to grow). But now that you’re peri-or post-menopausal, you don’t want to be sluggish all day. So, if you want to sleep like a baby at night, take estrogen. If you want to be sluggish like a zombie all day, take progesterone.

@chocchick5890 Год назад

@Menopause Taylor I use divigel estradiol in the morning/early afternoon. I was instructed to take a 100mg progesterone pill at night ( I still have a uterus) The instructions on the bottle say to take progesterone at night because it may make you drowsy. I do feel groggy when I wake up and it takes me a while to get going. Should I still take the progesterone at night?

@wendyposewitz8988 Год назад

Hi Barbie! I have been following you since video #1 and thought I had a pretty good understanding of menopause. But, recently I listened to another RU-vidr that discussed that when the ovaries "retire", the adrenal glands take over the production of estrogen, etc. And she was talking about the importance of taking care of stress levels, etc, because your adrenal glands are overloaded during menopause. I don't recall you ever discussing this and thought that estrogen literally goes to 0 once the ovaries retire. Could you please discuss what levels are needed to prevent the "big 3" and if it is possible to do so without HRT? I'm assuming the adrenal glands are unable to produce enough and that is why HRT is the best solution. I have had the labs done and I know I'm low but uncertain when I'm too low. I remember you saying that you cannot put a number on it, but it sure would help if you could tell us to consider HRT when your labs show you are below xx.

@MenopauseTaylor Год назад

I haven't discussed this because it's hogwash. If your pancreas stopped producing insulin, would your liver take over? Always know the credential of any author, RU-vidr, or whatever BEFORE listening to anything they write or say. Otherwise, you stick information into your brain that is completely untrue (as in this case).

I'm currently on an estradiol patch .05 twice a week and progesterone 200mg. I had an ablation, but didn't quite understand that part of this video. Should I be taking both?

@MenopauseTaylor Год назад

Darlene, It all depends on the specifics of YOUR ablation. Whether or not you need progestogen after an endometrial uterine ablation depends on how “complete” the ablation was. A "complete" uterine ablation destroys every morsel of your inner uterine lining. In this case, you will never have any bleeding ever again, and you do not have to take progesterone. An "incomplete" uterine ablation fails to destroy every morsel of your inner uterine lining. This is common with fibroids or anything that distorts your uterine cavity. In this case, regardless of whether or not you have bleeding afterward, you do have to take progesterone.

@darleneavitabile6944 Год назад

Just read that there is estrogen dominance. Do you have a video explaining this in detail?

@MenopauseTaylor Год назад

You have fallen prey to marketing, my dear. The whole theory of “estrogen dominance” was made up by Dr. John Lee of the Alternative community in order to get women to blame estrogen for all their gynecologic problems. His goal was to sell progesterone, which he touted as the “safe and beneficial” hormone. Well, his marketing worked. But it’s a complete fallacy. You can’t use progesterone instead of estrogen any more than you could wear a baby’s clothes instead of yours. You are “estrogen dominant” because you are female (Mama Bear) and estrogen is YOUR hormone. You are estrogen dominant for half of every menstrual cycle you ever have. And you are estrogen dominant during peri-menopause. But at post-menopause, you are estrogen deficient. And estrogen deficiency is what causes all the problems both short and long term once you reach post-menopause.

Once again, a great video. It was a revelation that the birth control pills reduce the risk of endometrial cancer . I can't wait for your next video on towage et Al. If we are taking estrogel and Utrogestan, apart from the dosage which you will be covering in the subsequent videos, may I ask when and how is it better to take? Should we take the Utrogestan and estrogen at the same time (at night) or us ut ok to take estrogel in the morning and Itrogestan at night ? The reason I ask is if we take them together, we don't even give a tiny minute chance for the lining to get thicker. On the other hand by taking both together, would the effect of estrogen be diminished in the presence of progesterone for the other beneficial areas like bones, heart and brain? Would you be covering the timing of the two hormones within a day ?

I don’t think I'm getting enough progesterone. I'm still having many migraines, night sweats and hot flashes plus just an overall sense of unwell. I started taking the Prometrium tabs that I have... one a night 100mg. Is this okay to do with my Mirena because I feel so much better? I also like having birth control and not having a period every 14 days and Mirena provides this

How are things going? How do you feel? Do you still have mirena and are you still on 100mg progesterone? Im asking because im planning to do the same thing. Im on .75 estrodial and taking 200mg progesterone. Im planning to have Mirena inserted and cut the progesterone down to 100mc daily. Would love to know who it's all going for you

@effiefr6182 I still only have the IUD, and I've bled almost every day from spotting to heavy for 5 months😢 I really believe that the Prometrium would help control my bleeding. I do not think I'm getting enough progesterone. I haven't been back to the gyno yet. My family physician doesn't know anything about perimenopause/menopause so he's useless. I'm in Canada, and you need a referral to see the gyno. I'm so frustrated 😠

I use E injections and oral progesterone in a cycle. I get a five day bleed when I stop my progesterone. My doses are higher than most.

Can I just stay on my birth control pill indefinitely?

@MenopauseTaylor Год назад

Generally-speaking, guidelines designate age 55 as the cut-off age for birth control pills. I don't like cut-off ages simply because we do not all age similarly. However, guidelines treat people like robots, so you have to be prepared for your doctor to take them aways from you at age 55.

Why are you calling progesterone “progestin”?? I would never use a “progestin”!!

@cm1906 Год назад

@@totallychillgirl8072 I remember from one of Dr Taylor’s lessons long ago: Progestogen is the overarching term encompassing all forms - synthetic or body-identical (“natural”). Progestin is a synthetic type (there are several) and progesterone refers to the “natural”, body-identical form. All forms fall under the header “Progestogens”.

Both progesterone and progestin belong to a class of hormones called progestogens, although progestin is a synthetic progestogen and progesterone is a natural progestogen. Dr.Taylor used the word progestogen.
