Hi there. Have been telling my colleagues about how HOT I have been getting, even in the coldest weather. So hot I need to throw off my clothes as fast as possible. I am 46 and am told (but have not had blood work done to confirm) that this is probably the beginning of MP. Also periods have over the last two or three years become very erratic. Anti HRT is very much the buzz around here and most women I know are going the natural progesterone cream route. One of my friends has been on HRT since age 37. She is now 61 and has heart problems. ALL of her med. practitioners want her off the HRT (and in fact have taken her off). They have substituted with the progesterone cream. Maybe you should look into that. I am going off the pharmacy after work today to invest. I can't take the awkard feelings any longer! Post a note and let me know. Good luck. Originally posted by stprdi:
Anyone recommend some alternatives to estrogen prescription. I had an early meno at 36 and now 46. Been on estrogen ever since and have recently developed melasma. I'm wondering if my body can't handle the estrogen anymore. I did go off of it for a week and my skin brightened right up. I'm thinking of natural supplement but also want to keep the benefits for prevention of osteo etc. Ideas anyone.
