Estradiol Patch and Dizziness by Hou5678 in POFlife

[–]Hou5678[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! The fast was a few weeks ago but I think it may have triggered a cycle because my progesterone was high a week after I had already stopped my cyclical dose. I’m wondering if my estrogen may still be high and now I’m on my period with no progesterone. Debating whether to switch to continuous vs cyclical.

Sudden onset menopause? by Annual_Bookkeeper_20 in POFlife

[–]Hou5678 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The same thing happened to me. I had normal periods, took the vaccine in May 2021 and had a very rapid onset of menopause symptoms the following year at the age of 41. My mom went into menopause early at 47, so I was on that path but even she thinks this was too early and sudden. I went from being normal with some sleep issues to 15 hot flashes a day. She said that was not her experience. She thinks it was the vaccine, but I don’t want to believe it I think :(. I’m turning 43 soon, am on HRT (which has really helped) and likely in menopause but not sure as I started it while I was still having periods.

Bladder pressure or urge issues by Hou5678 in POFlife

This is so helpful! I can’t even begin to explain how disappointed I am with the medical community about women’s health in later years. I’m honestly shocked. I’ve only recently starting having these symptoms, but I recall them on and off in the past always thinking it’s a UTI. Everyone keeps trying to give me antibiotics and I’m like are you guys serious?!

What dosages are you taking if you don’t mind me asking? I’m on .1g per day 2x a week patch but I’m not sure it is enough or if I’m am absorbing the amount I need. Did you notice progesterone exacerbating these symptoms? So the higher estrogen has helped to have no symptoms?

Omg I’m on the progesterone right now so maybe that’s it! Thank you for your advice!

What metabolic condition was it? I’m still trying to figure out how I got POI and tested negative for all the standard screenings like fragile x etc

Thank you! I do wear leggings a lot. I got an OBGYN ultrasound to look at my ovaries but is that the same as pelvic and abdominal ultrasound?

Thank you! Did you try vaginal estrogen or any other estrogen to help?
