GYN Visit
Hi! 48F, On .1 patch estradiol, T cream every morning, 25 mg DHEA every morning, and (was) taking 100 mg progesterone every day.
My last follow up my labs looked good except my DHEA (which is why I’m now taking that every morning). But she also wanted me to start cycling progesterone to 200mg 14 days after my period. She’s trying to mimic my normal cycle and help with my breakthrough bleeding.
This visit I told her I was having trouble with cycling progesterone probably bc of brain fog and how busy my work has been so I’m not sure if I followed directions like she gave me. So now She told me she wants me to stop progesterone for 3 months to see if we can get a clearer picture of my bleeding.
I thought progesterone was critical bc I still have a uterus and that helps protect the uterine lining from cancer. 😬
When I brought up my concern to her she didn’t seem to think 3 months was going to be enough time to cause any risk.
She seemed a bit dismissive with all my questions and I can tell she was annoyed but I’m a bit of a hypochondriac now.
Has anyone else that still has uterus been told this, have done it, and can share any insight?
Has anyone else been in this situation?
