L.O.L (Locs Of Luv) :
My female doctor offered me pellets because of weight gain and no other options. I switched doctors and the new female doctor ignores everything I ask about. Looking for another doctor. But I hv no life altering symptoms so I guess I’m blessed in that respect. No insomnia, no hot flashes, no mood swings, and no itching. BUT, I’m fat in the tummy, brain fog, hair thinning and my skin is dry.🥺

Menopause Minute videos make me feel seen 🥲 but I remember thinking “okay… but how do I actually feel normal again?” The night sweats and cravings were brutal and my jeans got tighter fast. I was frustrated and confused. A friend in an online women’s circle told me about Eat Like a Woman Protocol written by loren green. I’ve lost 29 lbs, energy steady, mood more balanced. Kinda wild how much shifted.

I take 200 mg of progesterone and use a patch for estrogen. How do I know if I need testosterone?

Pellets made me feel like I was 25 again but with the testosterone my face and back broke out. It also caused my BP to change. Not worth my health.

This was helpful. I mean months of questioning answered in one video. I clearly have to find a new doctor, it's clear not as difficult as it was made out to be.

With all due respect, I see this a little differently. First, I hear many people caution against pellets because they are “not FDA-approved,” including my own OB/GYN. But the reality is that FDA approval alone doesn’t necessarily determine whether something is the best option for every patient- they approve MANY things that are bad for us. When I raised that point with my doctor, he chuckled and said, “You’ve got a good point there.” He still wasn’t comfortable prescribing pellets, which I respected. I didn’t leave his practice—I still see him for my regular gynecological care—but I chose to work with another physician for my HRT. That leads to my second point. I now see two OB/GYNs: one for my general gynecological care, and another who focuses exclusively on hormone replacement therapy. She left obstetrics to specialize in this area and is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about it. During one visit, she explained something that helped me better understand the difference between delivery methods. She showed how options like patches, creams, and lozenges can create daily peaks and dips in hormone levels. Pellets, on the other hand, provide a slow, steady release over time, which can allow for more consistent symptom control without the same fluctuations. She also starts patients on very low doses and closely monitors them with regular lab work and symptom tracking so adjustments can be made at the next insertion if needed. Of course, every woman has to choose the approach that feels right for her, but I thought that perspective was worth sharing.

Are the patches ok to use and how long can you use them for and how long after you have stopped your cycle can you use this

Thank you for the education. Is it necessary to also take progesterone pills with the patches for effectiveness?

I did pellets for a year. Loved them but hated the procedure & the tiny little scars so I switched to injections. My levels don’t get as high but still good.
