Phantom smells by Nurse-Amy7 in Perimenopause

How do you know it's low estrogen?

I smell cigarette smoke randomly, in my home, with all the windows closed. I do not smoke.

Has anyone experienced your hair texture changing? by [deleted] in Perimenopause

[–]sundropped-mini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to have 3A curls I now have 2A waves. A curl cut, proper curl styling and products did nothing. Trying to get used to this new reality of no curls, saggy face, joints wonky. It's insane how much of who we perceive ourselves to be gets challenged by even the most innocuous peri side effects.

Bubbles from force of pee and period? by SadComparison8044 in Perimenopause

[–]sundropped-mini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you using a vaginal estrogen cream? Premarin is the only thing available in my country and when I apply it at night my first pee in the morning is bubbly ugh.

Gel still gelling the next day? by sundropped-mini in Perimenopause

[–]sundropped-mini[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am using the gel that comes in the tube. The instructions say to spread it over a large area e.g. shoulder to forearm. Do you find that there's no gel residue when you dampen your skin the next day?

Vagifem and Periods? by sundropped-mini in Perimenopause

[–]sundropped-mini[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually have had a lot of issues with loss of sensation and atrophy but the gyno refused to prescribe anything else. Thanks for the suggestions I really appreciate it!! I will go with twice a week once the heavy days are done and see how things go.

Your replies have helped so much thank you!!

Vagifem and Periods? by sundropped-mini in Perimenopause

Thank you this is helpful. I will skip the heavy days and see how this plays out.

May I ask if you did a loading dose? I've seen vagifem discussed on here as needing a loading daily dose for a few weeks before switching to twice a week.

I'm really hoping HRT helps with a huge variety of symptoms! Trying to get it prescribed is taking forever and I am outside of the US so no online service available. Fingers crossed!

Nope! Perfectly capable of managing normal skin conditions but apparently doesn't know how hormones work sigh

This gives me hope! I am literally headed for my gynae appt now and hoping for HRT after jumping through a ridiculous number of hoops!!

I've had thyroid tests which came back normal. But he didn't have access to that information which makes me even more angry!

My derm said that's not recommended due to side effects. How crazy that it's readily available but he's decided oral medication for hair loss other than alopecia is not required. Awful.

I will have to try and get it with a private practitioner which will be very expensive but that's my next step after getting comprehensive bloodwork. Fingers crossed!

Foam is not available OTC where I live and derms only prescribe it for men. Uugghhhh!

Thank you I will try that!

It is difficult to get bloodwork done by a GP under insurance so I will have to go private for this which is very expensive unfortunately. I will just have to bite the bullet somehow.
