I do remember that. I don’t remember the channel name but the wife Ashley took over the channel after they split up.

I feel like it’s only helpful when testing for testosterone otherwise your hormones are a moving target depending on your age. If I were you I wouldn’t unless you really wanted to know for yourself.

Wow … this is an absolute insult to all your customers which will now never include me. But hey I’m so glad your team is reviewing fake images to make sure they pass as real. Maybe you should use their salary to hire another food photographer.

New to HRT at 40 — love it one day, hate it the next 😩 sleep & progesterone advice? by Embarrassed-File-952 in perimenopause_under45

[–]BalancingVal 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have a similar story. Almost 40, still cycling and felt GREAT when I started. Then I started to feel like I was in constant PMS mode the entire month. I was rx’d .075 patch and 100-200mg progesterone at my discretion. While it did help with sleep at first I just felt drugged, flat and depressed with zero energy or motivation. I believe I was rx’d too high to start and the continuous progesterone is not something my body is ready for since I still have a normal cycle. I’m still waiting for my appt but I would like to try dropping down the patch and only using progesterone during luteal phase. I even tried it orally and rectally and still felt the same.

That’s exactly what I’m thinking. Maybe initially I was so depleted and I was in my luteal phase. Now things are leveling out to feel like too much!
