#estrogen — Public Fediverse posts

Almost two months ago, after 3½ years of #Estrogen #monotherapy #HRT (I had started off taking only estrogen to see how my body and psyche would respond to it − it felt like I finally got something that I had been craving my whole life, like it plugged a hole that I had never even realised was there, and the E by itself already sufficiently lowered my T so there was no need to add blockers), I added #Progesterone to the mix. And surprisingly, it felt similar to when I started E. A feeling of physical, bodily satisfaction, a feeling of calm and relaxation, the satisfaction of a nutritional requirement that I didn't even know I had... I've been sleeping much better and yeah it does indeed fill out the boobs, making them rounder, firmer. #Hormones are nothing short of #medical #magic!

Post-mortem analysis of the brains of over 5,000 women over 50 found that those who had been on estrogen-only hormone replacement therapy had 35% lower odds of having markers of Alzheimer's disease.

I have been on an estrogen patch for 20 yrs. My local pharmacy just told me there is a nation wide shortage. WTF? The #U becomes more of a #FailedState daily. Anybody know the reason for the shortage?!
#Estrogen

Examination of 47 mothers and their newborns found that higher maternal estrogen in the first trimester was associated with greater head circumference of the newborn. The effect was stronger for male than female babies.

#CrohnsDisease is associated with NOD2 mutations, but what's NOD2's role in the #intestine? Mckenna Eklund & Edan Foley show that #NOD2 interacts with #estrogen to regulate intestinal homeostasis, perhaps explaining the sex-specific pathogenesis of CD @PLOSBiology https://plos.io/4ojTEuZ

Today is 10 years to the day since I took my first #HRT

To celebrate, I coordinated with the calendar when I first switched to injections so I'd have one today :)

This year has a lot of "it's been an entire decade since" moments for my #transition

Newer readers of #MissKitty maybe found me in #AI #research. They'll be more. Been reading how to exploit #antipolitics in #AI. Sure I can pull it off. I know how to tape things together. But I might only be qualified for cat pictures today. 😹😹😹 First shot of #estrogen in 3 weeks. I'm peaceful. LOL.

A mouse study found that higher estrogen levels in the hippocampus reduce memory consolidation following acute traumatic events. Male mice and female mice in proestrus, which have comparable hippocampal estrogen, were similarly affected, but female mice in estrus, with low estrogen, did not suffer stress-related memory problems.
