@Aly Mangeot when we are going in for an updated hormone panel ( in perimenopause) what are the list of things to stop before the panel? I recall Biotin and I can't remember the rest 🫠 Also what about heaving weight training / HIIT the day before? Thank you 🫶

Hi ladies! For those of you in perimenopause who are on progesterone, estrogen and testosterone did your doctor prescribe one at a time starting with progesterone? Did they wait a few months to see how you did on progesterone before upping your dose or adding estrogen and testosterone or were you able to go back to your doctor sooner than a few months after starting progesterone to up your dose or start estrogen and testosterone? I’ve only been on progesterone for 2 months but I feel like it’s just not doing much so far. Thanks ladies! I hope you’re all doing well today 🙏🏻🩷

My name is Cynthia Czarnecki & I'm new here to the platform. I am 52 years young and now entering this lovely thing called Perimenopause. Boy did she throw curve balls at first out of the blue, lol. I am just happy to be in space where I can learn, share, and navigate this new chapter. Thank You.
