I began suffering from menapause since my late 40’s. I am now 60 and am still suffering from post menapause. My OBGYN has put me on a dosage of Estrodiol and Progesterone. I am still suffering from the following problems: insomnia, incontineance, very low libido, weight gain especially in the belly, and have been diagnosed with lichen sclerosis. Life is not fun in the menapausal stage. I belong to Kaiser and they do not have a compounding pharmacy, but I have been told that my hormones are the same whether taking synthetic or the compounded. Any help or suggestions?
Hi Patty,
I am so glad that you reached out for support.
Are you currently going to a Menopause Specialist? If not, take a look at the Menopause Doctor Directory on my website.
Since you are experiencing so many symptoms, it sounds to me that it is time to see your menopause specialist and get your hormone therapy re-evaluated. When you sign up for my Menopause Mondays Newsletter, you should have received my Menopause Symptoms Chart. Start charting your symptoms and take this in with you to your menopause specialist.
There are many schools of thought on bioidentical hormones vs non-bioidentical hormones. Take a look at this page on my website which gives you the latest blogs and information on HRT. BTW, you can go to a regular pharmacy for a bioidentical estrogen patch and prometrium (progesterone) pills. No need to use a compounding pharmacy unless you need testosterone.
Good Luck!
Keep me posted!
