Has anyone else had trouble getting a response from their Midi provider? I had an amazing introductory call with an NP, and she submitted a prior authorization for Zepbound for me. It was a big thing for me to decide to take the plunge, and I'd like to keep the ball rolling. My insurance denied the PA and I'd like to know what to do next, but there has been zero response from the NP for a week now. I'm so frustrated and wondering if this is how Midi operates, or if I'm missing something? Maybe there's a better way to get a reply? Ugh, appreciate any insight.

Hi! First time posting here. I've only been on estradiol patches for a month. I am 49 with no uterus, so no progesterone. So far, estradiol has greatly improved my night sweats, hot flashes, and my sleep is now great. I don't wake up all night anymore. No breast tenderness or anything.

This was all accomplished on the lowest dose of 0.025mg. My Midi provider just refilled my patches and the pharmacy is showing the brand name as Lyllana. I was previously on Mylan. I had no issues with Mylan and the patches were sticking just fine. I hate change as I have a bit of health anxiety. Has anyone used this brand and what did you think of it?

Brain fog is FOR REAL for many perimenopausal women. Have you ever forgotten someone's name, even though you deal with them on a daily basis or couldn't muster a basic word during a meeting with your boss? Share your most unhinged brain fog story.

Progesterone shortage?

I live in Michigan and my provider is not licensed to prescribe Testosterone.

I need to know how to obtain my HRT, including Testosterone, through Midi.

I am seeing that many of you are jumping through hoops to get it and I am so frustrated right now.

May I ask for advice? I’m just in tears right now

Choosing the right magnesium for peri/menopause starts with one question: what are you actually trying to support: sleep, mood, or digestion? If you're taking magnesium, what form are you taking to support what part of your life? How effective do you feel it is?

Perimenopause and menopause can be isolating, and it's easy to feel like you're the only one experiencing certain symptoms. What is a moment where you said, thank god - it's not just me!, when hearing another woman's experience?

Midlife can be difficult, surprising, and at times, a bit overwhelming. Perhaps you feel as though it would have been nice to prepare yourself a little - maybe know ahead of time that gaining weight out of nowhere doesn't mean to eat less, or that you may have to advocate for yourself to get the care you need. Is there anything you wish you could tell your younger self about this stage of life to prepare yourself?

Is there anything that has helped you to remove your patch that lessens the pain? Esp when patch is on lower abdomen area. Not so bad when its in the back where the skin is thicker back there. I am almost on the verge of getting some of those adhesive removers (for skin). I've tried some oils I have around the house but still painful. I understand you can put it in either place, but some experts say there is more consistent absorbency if placed at abdomen so that's why I try to do, but ... oooo.....mmmmm..... geeee.. the pain when it's time to peel that thing off! Anything you use that helps?

We’ve earned the right to be a little stubborn, what’s the one thing you refuse to budge on at this stage of life?
