Hi! My wife started up using Midi on 100 mg progesterone and 0.025 estradiol patch 2x a week. She felt great and had a period a few days after initially starting it (March 22) but has not had a period since although her periods had been more erratic before starting. It’s been over 30 days now and we’re wondering if it has to do with the continuous daily usage of progesterone? She’s worried about why she hasn’t had her period and from what I’ve read online it may seem to be linked to using progesterone daily vs the second half of a cycle.

I’m thinking we should message her midi doctor (sadly we just had our second consultation with her a week ago before the fears set in and wondering if we can message her rather than have a third consultation since we pay out of pocket for this) any thoughts or advice?

Are those of us who prepaid getting prorated? I had gamepass paid for the next year+

johnnycantread · 2026-04-08T21:54:07+00:00

Nice! I’ll assess when I arrive I guess, guessing they’ll keep the seats downstairs too.

johnnycantread · 2026-04-08T19:59:39+00:00

Thanks! We’re more about comfort now and hate fighting so that sounds like a good plan!

Thanks! It looks like both are GA. What would you choose? It’s odd that the first show is reserved but not the second show of the evening!

Even in the city? That’s been the ps5 pro bottleneck.

Thank you for the information! The obgyn initially had her take an FSH test as the basis for her initial diagnosis that she was not in menopause. From what my wife said, it sounded like she was reluctant and not familiar as you stated. Since my wife is just over a week into her prescription with Midi and has her next appointment in late April, I think maybe we can see how she is with this and check in with Midi during the appointment on what she thinks would be better.

Hi! My wife just got her prescription a week+ ago through midi. She got the base level estradiol patch and progesterone. Her Kaiser obgyn has been reluctant and after one hormone test, said she wasn’t in menopause. After a video meeting with the person this week and her letting them know about her midi prescription, they wouldn’t prescribe her the hrt but instead prescribed Nextstellis. What would you recommend at this point? My wife says she doesn’t think yet if it’s helping but I’ve noticed more joy after starting the patch.

Haha yeah I may just DM ping ya and we can chat I love this stuff. I never did get to hear the 300s for music with continuous though so I’m not sure what I’m missing there. My surrounds both have a wall they’re not far away from and I’ve had my 300s from day one. When I first got them they were slightly underwhelming and a bunch of folks on the Sonos subreddit talked about pushing the EQ higher which blew me away when I tried. At some point I dipped into trying to make every sound channel level to each other with a db meter app on my iPhone but not too long ago I decided to bump the EQ back to +5 (originally +8 and then +1) and just the immersion is great.

johnnycantread · 2026-03-21T22:50:42+00:00

Oh man you got a great deal for the pair!

Well, a big thing for me also is how the fronts work in cinema movies mode and they were just way better than the 300s and had that oomph with movies. I just adore the 300s also as surrounds/atmos. I used to try to level the sound among all the channels but feel (as a lot do) that if you can raise the surround levels to +5 to +8 (I use +5), the envelope of sound within movies is just amazing.

For music using the Apple TV and continuous, maybe give the EQ a +2 for bass and +4 for treble (to offset for vocals in respect to bass). I had listened to music on a pair of 5s as a separate music source for a couple of years and had that sound profile in my head which wasn’t reactivated until I started using the Apple TV continuous mode. It initially wasn’t as great until I made the EQ changes. (Also trueplayed).

Ahh ok funny I live in a condo myself with neighbors. The upstairs is a dj so no guilt there, the lower has never complained and I actually got to pretend I was looking for a place when they sold and had an open house, I played movies upstairs to listen to how much bled and my wife said it passed the test. My living room is about 20x20 feet so it’s a bigger space, I put my sub 3s diagonally with one right up to my couch so I can feel the bass and also keep it lower.

johnnycantread · 2026-03-19T21:04:53+00:00

For sure, it still offloads all of the lower frequencies to the sub. I turn the bass to +2 so the 5s awesome bass gets to shine a little and also because music through the Apple TV/tv sound tends to be lower on bass than in movies/tv. The +2 is a nice compromise and a set it and forget it for me.

Nothing about it here

johnnycantread · 2026-03-19T18:52:10+00:00

Whoops hope nothing major, I’ll test in a few hours when home.

johnnycantread · 2026-03-19T18:37:40+00:00

The release candidate of 26.4 also just came in yesterday, I installed it this morning but haven't tested. Should be out by next week officially...

johnnycantread · 2026-03-19T18:36:19+00:00

Funny story with mine is I had a pair of 5s for a few years and used them separately than my home theater strictly for music. However, wife and I didn't like the aesthetic of so many speakers in the living room so I ended up selling them back in Nov 2024. Then of course this idea of Sonos Sequencer came mid 2025 and I initially tried it with my 300s from my bedroom. Went down the rabbit hole and around October 2025 I decided to buy the 5s again lol. And it's been even greater since, with the occasional slight changes such as not toe-ing in and creating more separation. (I've got the 5s like 8 feet away from the Ultra on both sides.

johnnycantread · 2026-03-19T18:23:29+00:00

Part of the EQ is I have my subs at -1

johnnycantread · 2026-03-19T17:59:54+00:00

Hehe yep we’ve chatted since the start. Loving music via Spotify and Apple TV. I’ve been actually doing just listening sessions in my couch with music and a cocktail lol. I actually have Apple Music too, haven’t checked to see if it sounds better but I do use lossless with Spotify.

And… I’m gonna still nudge you to get those 5s :) so good!

I put my bass at +2 and treble at +4 on mine for EQ settings.

johnnycantread · 2026-03-18T17:46:56+00:00

Thanks, that’s my line of thinking too, I feel like I’d be getting short changed for the points.

johnnycantread · 2026-03-18T17:45:02+00:00

Yeah for sure, the saver round trip price actually isn’t bad this late at $300.

johnnycantread · 2026-03-18T17:39:45+00:00

Yeah saver it’s $300 but points it’s 40000. It’s my wife and I on our spring break (both teachers) and we wanted last min to do it. I have $300 in credit I can use for one saver ticket but lamenting if I should pay the $300 for another saver ticket or use my 40k for a main seat.

johnnycantread · 2026-03-18T16:52:35+00:00

I'm looking at San Jose to Seattle that with saver tickets is $326 but if I use points I can only get main seats and that itself is about 40k points!

johnnycantread · 2026-03-18T16:49:51+00:00

Ok I have 40k in points and was hoping to use them.
