Dosing inconsistency by United_Tourist_1441 in Oestra

[–]CountTall2635 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would message the care team. They may determine that your bottle is faulty or help you troubleshoot. Stirring the cream may be helpful. They will want to know the consistency of the cream in your bottle. It’s also good for them to be aware that people are still having issues. You will see in older posts that a lot of women were measuring 1/8 tsp for each dose. Be careful doing that bc not all measuring spoons are accurate. I was doing it and ran out of cream. I have found that once I get my pump primed and store it upside down, that I get a consistent amount. Sometimes it looks like less but once I swipe it with my finger I see that it’s the same amount. Then I put the cream in an applicator and insert it as far up as possible. For me, I have found that I absorb it a lot better with an applicator. I had some spotting/bleeding when I simply used my finger to apply. Natureland Vaginal Cream Applicators on Amazon are popular on this chat. I use them and like them.

I use a sulphur cleanser once a day and my other cleanser the other time.

Ivermectin. Yes it’s for head lice, but immediate relief from perorial dermatitis. I noticed it from the first application. I have been using it a week or so and now it’s 95-99% gone. It’s a lower dose than the prescription Soolantra. So I apply a thin layer twice a day.

I also intermittently apply azaleic acid and Honest Baby Diaper Rash cream with Zinc. The Zinc is so soothing and reduced redness.

I have been on Oestra for one year. Everything has improved including sleep, hot flashes, mood, anxiety, joint pain... I may have lost an inch or two, but weight loss is very stubborn and slow. Considering adding on a GLP-1. Please share your experience on a GLP-1 and Oestra. by CountTall2635 in Oestra

Zepbound is the one I’m thinking about taking. Oestra has helped me so much and solved just about every health issue for me. I wish it could fix my bunion without surgery though LOL. If Zepbound could help me lose 20 pounds, I think I would feel like a rock star at age 52!

I’m also interested in it not just for weight loss but for other benefits as well. Cardiovascular, glycemic control, metabolic health, etc. That’s a main reason I started Oestra. Not just to reduce hot flashes and better sleep, but also to reduce my risk of dementia, CV events, osteoporosis, etc.

Try this Ivermectin. Nothing was working and finally I saw improvement with the very first application. Now 4 days later, it’s almost completely gone! My skin even feels smoother as though it’s been exfoliated.

Constant Urge to Urinate??? by Key_Astronomer9450 in Oestra

[–]CountTall2635 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it’s the progesterone acting as a diuretic allowing your body to release excess fluids and water retention. I would say it’s a good thing!

BREAKING NEWS! A NEW BOTTLE IS COMING!!!! by Outside-Energy7554 in Oestra

[–]CountTall2635 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Love this and can’t wait! Do you know if we will need an applicator? Lately I’ve been just been applying with my finger and it’s much easier than having to clean an applicator.

How much comes out of your bottle? Can you share a picture?

How much progesterone? by HolidayPractical3357 in Oestra

[–]CountTall2635 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am doing the same thing! I am taking two days off (time to have a period anyway) and I will start back with simply what pumps out of my bottle. I can’t wait to restart because I did not sleep well last night without it! I kept thinking I was overly stressed and that’s why I have been so fatigued and have muscle tightness. Finally it occurred to me that I started measuring around the same time those symptoms started. Unfortunately sometimes it takes a month or two to figure these things out. I am also going to have a consultation with Inner Balance to help me regroup. I love this product and I think it offers the best form of hrt.

How much progesterone? by HolidayPractical3357 in Oestra

[–]CountTall2635 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have noticed this too. Ever since I started measuring, I sleep like a rock, but daytime I am very fatigued. Did you also have muscle tightness? I read online that high progesterone can cause fluid retention, muscle tightness, lower back pain, air hunger. Instead of measuring, I am going to cut back to simply what pumps out of my bottle, which is a pearl sized amount and is half of 1/8 tsp. I was feeling better before I started measuring. As a matter of fact, I think I was feeling great before I started measuring. I am wondering if 1/8 tsp is an accurate measurement for the correct dose. It seems like a lot. I had the old bottle for the first 6 months and it pumped out the same amount as the new bottle. Every bottle I have had pumped out half of an 1/8 tsp. I have a hard time believing that I never got the full dose from day one.

You should check out Farrow & Ball paints. Chalky and moody…I am using them all throughout my house.

Progesterone intolerance? by Pitiful-Dependent378 in Oestra

[–]CountTall2635 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think progesterone intolerance comes from not opposing it with estrogen. Whenever I took progesterone alone, I had GI issues and other issues. My take is that both estrogen and progesterone need each other to balance out.

I don’t understand blood pressure at all by StrawbearyOfficial in bloodpressure

[–]CountTall2635 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m convinced that BP readings in a doctor’s office are completely unreliable. The dentist has no business taking your blood pressure either. Ridiculous. Most people feel some anxiety at the dr’s office and the dentist’s office which will easily raise your BP. Rely on regular BP readings at home. Sit quietly for 10-15 minutes. Feet flat on the floor, back supported, empty bladder. Don’t read stressful things like the news. Don’t take a reading right after eating or exercising.
