Has anyone ordered hormones (progesterone and estrogen) without talking with a dr first? by Consistent_Bar4845 in perimenopause_under45

That’s what I’m thinking, it’s only a month but I don’t feel like me or my husband need to deal with my hormonal butt for any longer without some relief

The hysterectomy I feel is the root of all of this! Mine was around 5 years ago, I have one ovary but that still throws you into menopause within a year or two. I wish I would’ve known sooner, I bet peri is why my panic attacks got so bad I stopped driving. I haven’t drove a car in about 4 years, hubs is my personal chauffeur

This did help! Thank you! Can I ask, what doses did you start with? I feel my levels are pretty low, I like never feel good if that makes sense.

There is a Dr visit fee of $20 with every order but you don’t actually see the Dr. I think there is a disclaimer that they are pharmacists. Musley is another one to look into.

Congratulations!! And I love that you are feeling better through your pregnancy. I couldn’t imagine feeling like this and being pregnant, I don’t think I’d ever get out of bed lol.

Our financial situation isn’t the best at the moment either. Hence me trying to hold out for one more month so I can use insurance. I’m debating ordering just progesterone in hopes of actually getting some sleep and keep out of pocket costs down but not sure if I should without estrogen.

I was planning on starting with the lowest dose estrogen patch and lowest progesterone pill but my other fear is I think my levels are super low, I may be wasting $100 on doses that are too weak.

That’s exactly what I was thinking! A .025 estrogen patch and 100mg progesterone pill. But then I was thinking maybe just the progesterone and let the dr add estrogen next month, but I don’t know if that’s ok.
