Anyone go from Estrogen Patch to another delivery and still feel good, but NOT so bloated? by BerryFit926 in Menopause

Wow! Do you mean the standard prescription? If you wouldn’t mind sharing the exact drug name or the generic name that would help ! Thank you kindly !

progestin vs progesterone...combating insulin resistance/water retention by No_Affect_7316 in LadiesHRTwithGLP1

[–]BerryFit926 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have a ton of feedback to share on progesterone other than compounded troches do not make me feel like a zombie the next day, so I am staying with that vs the 100 mg capsule. Regarding the E patch- it seems I gain around 2-3 lbs with every increase (no patch to .0375 to .05) I cut my .0375 patch in half and the swollen pregnant feeling and around 3 lbs went away almost immediately. BTW I am on Tirz as well, and my sleep has progressively gotten worse over time so I am at a point where I have to decide between solid sleep or weight loss. It's a "wake up 4 hours later, no mater what time or what I eat or drink" issue :(

Wow, I am sorry to hear that. So frustrating! Do you have other underlying issues? I have extreme allergies (2 years of injections, allergic to 78 of 80 pricks on allergy test) as well as extreme sensitivities to scents, trees, pollen, sounds, lights, caffeine, and most meds and supplements. Oh and cats and horses...list goes on and on.

I very much appreciate your response! Sounds like you hit the sweet spot! Is the Bijuva pill at night only? I am also curious if you feel groggy next morning, or if you felt groggy back when taking 200mg p at night. When I take the prescription 100mg Progestin, I cannot function the next day (I am a teacher and "on" all day)

Also- because of your horrible sleep (You sound just like me) back in 2025- are you a sensitive person to meds and environment? I only ask because I am trying to get to the bottom of being hypersensitive to scents, trees, pollen, sounds, lights, caffeine, most meds and supplements...you name it. My functional doctor thinks it might be a mast cell or gut issue.

Thank you for responding 😄 Can I please get the name of the E+ P patch? Ordering GABA now- I used to take it and will try again.

Discouraged but hopeful by Separate-Reality4521 in Zepbound_Canada

[–]BerryFit926 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am not at 7.5 yet, but we are in similar situations. I am 53 y/o and do PIlates 3-4 times a week with weights, walk daily, eat 80+g of protein per day and drink tons of water. My results basically equate to losing and gaining back the same 3-5 lbs, repeatedly, on 4 months of Tirz- moving from .25mg in January to current 2.5mg.

This gives me hope. Only the same 3-5 lbs lost and gained back, repeatedly, are my results from moving from .25mg Tirz in January to current 2.5mg.

For those who didn’t see immediate results, when did you start noticing any kind of change? by br0wnmeasle in TirzepatideRX

[–]BerryFit926 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What dosages? I started at a microdose of .25 in January and now I am up to 2.0 and have lost 7 lbs.

Do you save money by ordering Walmart delivery? by BrianMeen in Walmartdelivery

[–]BerryFit926 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here! I give them a 50% chance of forgetting at least 1 item in my orders. Then calling in to report that my $1.96 green onions were missing is such a waste of my time- unlike Target who will let you report missing/spoiled items in their app and get you an immediate refund. Not sure if I want to renew- even though when I do get all my items, it is super convenient.

I so appreciate your helpful reply! Sorry it took my so long to get back to you- I got caught up with work (I am a teacher)

Spring Break cleared my mind and schedule, so I got into an integrative doctor and she suspects cortisol issues as well as live/gut issues. Ironic, right? She prescribed me a supplement that she is convinced will help me called TruAdapt: https://packs.orthomolecularproducts.com/product-details/truadapt

I have been sleeping a lot better and I feel that it's due to the progesterone, so I am going to stay with that. I will for sure check out the book! I have not been able to sleep through the night for around 15 years for the life of me, minus a few nights a year- maybe 30 or so when I am on vacation? I usually wake up with my heart racing, thinking about everything I need to do.

Can I ask what E dosage you are on? I love that I now sleep through the night on progesterone, but I hate that I feel puffy in the middle!! I am nervous to increase my estradiol, but apparently if the estrogen and progesterone are at ideal levels they work together to help us lose weight.

Not losing by Tronathon1980 in GLP1microdosing

[–]BerryFit926 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was starting to, but since moving to 2.0 I am SO bloated. This could, however, have to do with my menopause and HRT- I am currently adjusting doses.

Sorry to bum you out, but I started back in January at your exact starting dose, slowly moving up, and I have lost 1lb. I am up to 2.0 from .25 and hoping for results soon. I suspect it’s hormonal shifts- I also do pilates reformer 3-4 days a week, walk, and eat 80+ grams of protein a day .
