I’m currently on Evorel 75 patch and 200mg micronised progesterone (continuous) which I use vaginally.

I’ve been bleeding on and off every 8 days for the last two months and it’s driving me crazy! What do I need to change so the bleeding stops?

Estrogen cream in ellage base irriation? Or can it cause yeast?

I’m trying estrogen cream compounded in ellage base externally only. I’m kinda red and mildly itchy. Is this irritation or can this cream cause a yeast infection? I thought estrogen cream in ellage base was the best option, but are the vaginal tablets better?

Hashimotos + POI

I was diagnosed with POI very suddenly at age 32, and at 38 was diagnosed with hashimotos (by accident, no symptoms). Has anyone discovered the "link" between POI and hashis? No one has said specifically whether the POI is its own autoimmune condition, or perhaps more of a byproduct of hashis. I've been working with a naturopath on the hashis, but antibodies seem to keep ticking up, oddly, the more I try to do for it. I'm on HRT for the POI and am hoping it has some immune-modulating effect but am not sure. Would love to hear anyone else's experience with these two conditions.

Hi all - wanted to share a research study I came across out of Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) in Boston, focused on the effects of estrogen therapy on blood flow and heart health in women with POI.

Note: there are several eligibility requirements, including two in-person visits in Boston. More information and full details can be found on the official study site here: https://rally.massgeneralbrigham.org/study/encodehearthealth, and any questions can be directed to MGHENCODEstudy@mgb.com.

Encouraging to start to see more research like this happening for POI.
