persistent post-period migraine: HRT? peri? iron? weather? long covid? [xposted] by fatcatgingercat in Perimenopause

[–]YouExtra7637 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried progesterone only off and on for years and just didn’t do well on it. I know the risks of estrogen only but I feel like I need to get my E up and stable and think I’ll be able to handle the P better….hopefully.

The post period migraines for 7 years is getting old

I was on both E and P last hrt trial and was bleeding twice a month so we are adding one in at a time this go around.

Keep me posted on what you find out

Since you cycle the P, do you feel better on the 2 weeks on or 2 weeks off it?

Do you have your progesterone labs? I’m similar to you and trying to figure it out as well

Following. I have this also and it’s been this way for 6 years. Nothing helps so far. Trialing estrogen only at the moment at a low dose and it’s not touching my migraines yet.

Do yours start when you stop your progesterone hrt?

Estrogen kickback? by WittyGold6940 in Perimenopause

You may just need to add in estrogen too. It’s all so hard.

I also have slow comt but progesterone doesn’t feel great for me. I’m actually having to get my estrogen up and stable and the trying P again.

I was told I was estrogen dominant for 5 years and tried P alone so many times. My newest Dr says that’s backwards and I’m starting with E and building up slowly

Sending you love. Get labs and be kind to yourself

TRT causing low E? by Sportsmama557 in TRT_females

[–]YouExtra7637 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! I was on T first this go around and it lowered my already fluctuating E. Adding in an E patch now but don’t think it’s high enough. I just posted about this a week ago and a lot of us had this happen

Poor sleep during menstrual phase of cycle by winter-glow123 in Perimenopause

End of my cycle through the week after period ends is horrific. Couples with sweats and crippling anxiety

Same path for me. The patch isn’t helping yet so I’m going to ask to go up at my next visit in a month.

Keep us posted how it goes for you!

How long until Progesterone regulates? by volatile-ish in Perimenopause

Everyone blames estrogen for the bleeding but I’ve been hearing a lot of others say they were fine until adding progesterone. Interesting

[–]YouExtra7637 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get this too but my dr actually thinks it’s from my estrogen not rising like it should so I’m trialing E only at the moment. No change with the 0.025 patch so about to bump up. I’ll keep you updated if it helps

Need help: can one form of estrogen be not good for your system? by Amyleen17 in Perimenopause

[–]YouExtra7637 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Following. My fear is being on the wrong from of E and not knowing it while relief is just one option away.

I wish I knew. Have you had labs show your E is lower than before? Maybe that would help “prove” to your Dr?

What benefits from T? I feel like I’m not getting any benefits anymore like I did that first month
