Rx Questions & Rx Timing
I’m 46 yr with primarily sleep & mood related symptoms but labs and periods are still good. I had a severe liver issue 3.5 years ago that was ultimately diagnosed as auto-immune heptatits BUT some doctors think it was triggered by my oral micronized progesterone Rx. It does make me very nervous to try progesterone again so she said we could try a lower dose.
With that being said, my NP Rx’d me 50mg compounded Progesterone troches along with Estradiol tablets from CVS to trial. I’ve been on a compounded vaginal estrogen cream & TRT already. I’m aware that 50mg progesterone might not be protective enough for the uterine lining but 1) how would I know if it’s enough or not? and 2) would you just start taking both Rx every day? Should I cycle progesterone? 3) are the Esradiol tablets a typical thing to be Rx’d? I see a lot about the patches but not as much about oral.
I will also be asking her but it’s the weekend and I also wanted y’alls thoughts.
