    @Pixel_Dailies I've been playing with this design for a while but never put color to it to now. It very roughly depicts an estrogen-progesterone lunar cycle.

  2. Saps que el noguer (fulles) és una de les poques plantes contenen progesterona bioidèntica en quantitats importants?

    Per això és un remei per desequilibris del cicle menstrual, ajudar a portar millor l'adaptació a un nou equilibri hormonal durant la perimenopausa, casos d'hipotiroïdisme (en que predominança d'estrògens i dèficit de progesterona solen ser un factor clau) i en algunes migranyes entre d'altres.

    Quan més en contenen és a la tardor, i quan més convenen és en la fase lútea, que segons la MTM, tenen la mateixa energètica (són períodes anàlegs dels cicles de la Vida).

    La millor forma d'aprofitar-la és en oleat o en tintura d'alta graduació i en aplicació sublingual o, en el cas de l'oleat, vaginal.

    I es pot combinar amb plantes com l'aloc (Vitex), que ajuden a la producció de progesterona pròpia i el seu aprofitament.

    Per aprendre més coses sobre les herbes remeieres de casa nostra i de la MTM, et pots apuntar a la sortida Els dons vegetals del 6/6 a Prades i al curs d'introducció a la MTM

  14. RE: mastodon.social/@GoingDownWith

    ICYMI

    My journey with #perimenopause goes on, now featuring #HRT.

    I've had a really bad time with the #progesterone part, over the months since I started.

    I'm on the last two days of the first #luteal (progesterone) phase since my dose was adjusted, and I've been holding my breath. There have been tears and anger, but it's nothing compared to how it was the previous cycle. The relief is real!

    Please BOOST this toot. Perimenopause is natural, but too many people don't know enough about it. ❤️

    So many things to do. Not enough brain energy to do them all.

    Resorting to desperate measures to try to deal with the emotional slump.

    We've taken our regular morning meds as usual (1 x 40 mg lisdex at 07:15; 1 x 20 mg lisdex at 09:15), which allows us to function over the majority of the day.

    However, we've also taken:

    • 1x 200 mg micronised progesterone capsule.
    • 1 x 30 mg codeine phosphate pill.
    • 1 x 150 mg pregabalin capsule.

    We are finding that pregabalin has very, very strong effects on us, particularly vs something like diazepam. It feels almost a bit like being drunk and/or slightly high. It seems to negatively impact vision (causing blurring) and co-ordination of all body parts, which makes typing more difficult and much slower. It does feel so much like it's calmed us, but rather like it's put a warm, cozy blanket around us, like a shield. And it's very much making us feel drowsy. Without the lisdex, we'd probably be asleep.

    Going forward, we may need to only take pregabalin at night when going to bed, based on current effects. The means we'll have to rely on other meds during the day, sadly, for anxiety.

    In terms of our regular tolerance to meds:

    • Progesterone calms us, but doesn't make us sleepy or drunk, like some get when taking orally.
    • Codeine works very well for blocking physical pain (especially in our hands and forehead) and has a calming effect on us.
    • Diazepam calms and relaxes us. It doesn't have as strong an effect on us as others. We could pop a 10 mg diazepam along 30 mg of codeine phosphate and still be able to function normally and even drive normally and safely.

    We're trying to keep our system stable today, as it feels a little like we've pushed ourselves too much helping, or at least trying to help, those who've asked for our help.

    As a result, our system balance is off and we feel more broken; fractured.

    The last time this happened, Isabella and Isabelli emerged. We went from a system of 2 to a system of 4.

    We don't know what's going to happen. We know we cannot control it either. Whatever happens, happens.

  23. Hi HRT fam!

    My family has some questions for you...

    The setup is that my wife is 43 and seems to be entering perimenopause. Some of our friends have started HRT and we've listened to some podcasts, but it all a bit overwhelming.

    We're hoping there are people that have links, papers, articles, resources, etc. that are useful in helping to understand HRT options, benefits, and drawbacks for a cisgender woman entering perimenopause.

    Specifically questions like:
    - Intake methods; pill, patch, injection, cream, etc...
    - Cycle or not?
    - Dosing; high or low
    - Hormones; estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, etc...

    I know I'm mutuals with, or at least follow many super smart people that have read more about endocrinology than most doctors, so I really appreciate any advice, links, articles, etc.

  24. Learning about hormones is always bittersweet: on the one hand, it brings the sweet vindication of "I knew it wasn't all in my head", on the other hand - the bitterness that certain professionals *should* know better. Today about progesterone:

  25. CW: HRT Facts - Progesterone

    Progesterone raises your natural blood glucose levels when you take it, and that is what gives you the weird ass dreams when you are on it. Its metabolite allopregnanolone also helps you sleep better probably making it more likely that your sleep cycles will align to you remembering the dream as well.

  26. I’m about to write an email to the corresponding author of the #Progesterone study. This is my current draft:

    Dear Koen,

    in 2024 you and your team registered a study with BMC Pharmacology and Toxicology in which you declare that you will perform a 1 year study on the effects of progesterone and higher Estradiol-levels in the treatment of transgender individuals. Considering that this was now 1.5 years ago, that you had essentially finished recruiting of participants at the time, and that this is a fully pre-registered study, I am somewhat surprised that you still seem to not have published the results.

    I am sure that you are aware that many transgender individuals are awaiting these results not least because many endocrinologists even outside VUMC are refusing to prescribe progesterone, pointing to this supposedly soon to be available study. Naturally this is creating avoidable tension and I am aware of several trans women who have expressed the intention of self-medicating progesterone on top of their officially provided HRT regiments.

    It is with this background, that I’d like to know what the current status is and when we can expect the final publication.

    Best Regards,
    Dr. Fiona Weber
    Thoughts anyone?

    I figure that this is one of those places where dropping my PhD might be useful; I’m a bit uncertain about the ambiguity regarding my own situation: It’s obvious from my website (trivial to find from my email) that I’m a transgender cryptographer, not a medical doctor, but it’s not like I claim to be. It might come across as me implying it in a deceiving manner though, which could be harmful… So I’m not sure if I should just say it directly to avoid that scenario.

  28. I’m about to write an email to the corresponding author of the #Progesterone study. This is my current draft:

    Dear Koen,

    in 2024 you and your team registered a study with BMC Pharmacology and Toxicology in which you declare that you will perform a 1 year study on the effects of progesterone and higher Estradiol-levels in the treatment of transgender individuals. Considering that this was now 1.5 years ago, that you had essentially finished recruiting of participants at the time, and that this is a fully pre-registered study, I am somewhat surprised that you still seem to not have published the results.

    I am sure that you are aware that many transgender individuals are awaiting these results not least because many endocrinologists even outside VUMC are refusing to prescribe progesterone, pointing to this supposedly soon to be available study. Naturally this is creating avoidable tension and I am aware of several trans women who have expressed the intention of self-medicating progesterone on top of their officially provided HRT regiments.

    It is with this background, that I’d like to know what the current status is and when we can expect the final publication.

    Best Regards,
    Dr. Fiona Weber
    Thoughts anyone?

  31. Just got a call from the fuckers in Amsterdam (VUMC) whether they need to keep me on their waiting list. I told them that I’m essentially through the entire process (no thanks to them), and should now be put on Radboud’s surgery waiting-list any day now and that they can remove me from theirs, since I prefer to work with psytrans. (Maybe I should have said “because unlike for you, I do have some trust into those people…”)

    I did ask them where in the waiting list they are currently and was told that they are now dealing with people who were referred to them in 2020…

    I also asked about the
    #progesterone study that they should really have published already, but the person who called me claimed to not really know anything about, go figure…
