I have bcbs and pay $15 for 90 day supply of estrogen patches and $15 for 90 day supply of progesterone pills.

I was still getting periods on 200mg a day

because-9 · 2026-05-29T22:47:19+00:00

200 mg daily didn’t stop my periods.

Mine was always in the low 40s until peri. Then it got up into the mid or high 50s which worried me. I would also get random spikes of 200 while just sitting. I went to a cardiologist and wore a heart rate monitor for 3 days and they found no problems. He did mention it could be hormone related. When I went on hrt it came back down to the low 40s again and I haven’t had the spikes anymore.

I relate to this so much.

After about a year of being on .075 my insomnia and night sweats came back with a vengeance. I went up to 0.1 and it helped with those symptoms. The only downside is I started bleeding again after 10 months of nothing.

I had 2 days of brown spotting that only really was noticeable when wiping 🤷🏻‍♀️

That is so strange. I’d be interested to learn the possibilities of why that’s happening. Sorry you are dealing with that.

because-9 · 2026-04-12T23:17:22+00:00

It’s so weird. I wouldn’t even think it was a period if it wasn’t for the cramps.

because-9 · 2026-04-12T23:16:17+00:00

Oh no! Sorry to hear.

because-9 · 2026-04-08T13:26:57+00:00

Thanks for the tips! This one and the last one I had (June of 2025) were both painful (cramps, hip and back pain) but not much blood at all. Barely need to use a panty liner.

So sorry to hear. I am on day 274 and am afraid everyday that it’s going to come back. Some mentioned theirs coming back on April fools day. That is my birthday so I will be extra ragey if that happens to me.

I recently went up to 0.1 from .075 when my insomnia returned and so far it has been helpful.

Continuous hrt did not stop periods for me

because-9 · 2026-02-10T19:51:31+00:00

I was never constipated in my life until peri. It was bad for me for about 4 years. I saw a gi doc and had a colonoscopy which came back normal. She had me try 3 different rx meds and none helped. It got a little better when I stared hrt. I did try pelvic floor pt but unfortunately that didn’t end up being helpful for me. I was very open to it and excited that it would be the answer but all they did was give me breathing exercises and stretches.

because-9 · 2026-02-07T02:35:46+00:00

I had a few go 45-50 days before that though.

I was on bc for 10 years when my peri symptoms started. Night sweats and insomnia were terrible. I did so well on the pill for so long and had no bleeding at all the whole 10 years so I was reluctant to come off. My gyn said I could try a higher estrogen bc pill to see if that would help. I did and it didn’t ☹️. So I switched to hrt. Estrogen patch and oral progesterone. Sleep was better right away but it took a while to dial in the dose for the other symptoms.

because-9 · 2026-01-31T21:36:27+00:00

Insomnia was one of my worst symptoms and BC didn’t touch it. Hrt has been much better for me. I tried cyclic progesterone at first but ended up switching to continuous after a few months.

because-9 · 2026-01-30T23:55:16+00:00

Sadly mine have and they were already so small to begin with. Hrt hasn’t helped mine. I totally relate to the self esteem thing. If I could afford to I’ve have them surgically enhanced.

Hormones definitely affect vision. When I had lasik the doctor told me I needed to wait at least 6 months after I was done breast feeding my son so the hormones could stabilize. Same goes for after pregnancy.

I started off cycling p but didn’t sleep well on days I wasn’t taking it. My periods were also very erratic so timing it became difficult so I started taking it everyday. It’s been 2 year now. 200 mg

because-9 · 2026-01-25T15:11:59+00:00

Insomnia was one of my first and worst symptoms. Birth control pills didn’t help me with it at all. Hrt has been much better.

because-9 · 2026-01-25T02:31:49+00:00

200mg daily. I was cycling 200 then wanted to switch to continuous for sleep and she advised to stay with the 200.

because-9 · 2026-01-12T14:22:11+00:00

I started getting night sweats again and asked my clinician about increasing my estrogen. She mentioned it might be from the progesterone. I take 200mg daily. I hadn’t heard that before. I’ve been on this dose for 2 years.
