@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.

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.

P.S.Villar et al. (2026) studied #evolutionary aspects of the #copulatoryorgan in #male #octopuses and describe it as #multifunctional organ that performs two key #functions: the #hectocotylus is a specialized tentacle that delivers #spermatophores into the #female's #mantlecavity. But the authors identified it also as #chemotactile #receptor for #progesterone during #materecognition.

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. ❤️

CW: Mental health (struggling); plurality&
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.

I’m about to write an email to the corresponding author of the #Progesterone study. This is my current draft:
Dear Koen,
Thoughts anyone?
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
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.
#MedicalTransition #HRT #trans #DutchHellcare -
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…

Saheli, a 'non-steroidal non-hormonal contraceptive pill'. Saheli dosage starts 1 pill per half-week for ... (?), then 1 pill weekly. Basically induce a brief, mini-menopause that stops when you stop the pills. https://saheliinfo.com/clinical-evidence
Then! ONE-YEAR vaginal ring Annovera. Unlike monthly-ish vaginal rings, (https://www.medicines.org.uk/emc/product/6449/smpc) this thicker vaginal ring holds enough for 13 cycles with one week bleeding breaks, or 12 if you skip periods. Think "buff NuvaRing". https://www.annoverahcp.com/
Speaking of intra-uterine system / device options: the UK does several! We are no longer stuck with the larger, higher dose Mirena hIUS. https://www.mirena.co.uk/ I want the smaller, lower dose (but shorter duration) Jaydess https://www.fsrh.org/Public/Public/Documents/ceu-product-review-jaydess-apr-14.aspx or Kyleena. https://www.medicines.org.uk/emc/product/769/smpc
(You can fit a non-hormonal IUD copper coil as emergency contraception, within 10 days of unprotected sex. Fitting it as regular birth control anytime otherwise is also fine, when not pregnant.) https://patient.info/sexual-health/long-acting-reversible-contraceptives-larc/intrauterine-contraceptive-device
Finally, vasectomy. New part is "I found multiple cases where doctors did their own vasectomies". This may be helpful for hesitant cis men and AMAB people to know. Vasectomies are reversible ("easily", according to a medical nerd friend, but obv different people's bodies respond to things in weird, cool ways, so everything depends). https://www.baus.org.uk/_userfiles/pages/files/Patients/Leaflets/Vasectomy.pdf

In case anyone is wondering where the #progesterone study of the #VUMC can be found: Despite their protocol having been accepted over a year ago, they seemingly still haven’t published their results…
Now, the last tests they want to run are supposed to happen 1 year after starting, so I’m not yet calling for torches and pitchforks, it takes a while to actually start testing and you need to write the actual paper, and…
But my patience is very much on borrowed time… If they are not done by the time I have my next endo-appointment, I will assume that the results were that their E-levels are too low and that Prog works in desirable way, going back to DIY, because I’m past the point of not assuming malice with these folks…

CW: GAHT, HRT, trans, progesterone, MH+, libido?
Oh my. I heard the rumors that progesterone might affect my libido. After (almost) 13 years on #GAHT I didn't believe it was possible.
I guess it's possible. 😮 No details, and yes I'm still single with no prospects. Just ❗

Mae Dean quote-boosted the author that wrote this blog post on Bluesky and I figured linking it here would be useful for my followers, particularly #transfems planning on/currently taking/thinking about taking #estrogen and maybe #progesterone if uncertain about the 1-2 year "maximum effect" thing studies mention, because (spoiler) they weren't long enough: https://stainedglasswoman.substack.com/p/transition-timelines
Yes yes I know, substack, but eh.

CW: Transfem HRT questions about progesterone
Wanting to know if anyone is willing to tell me about their experience with progesterone. How long have you been on prog? What is your dosage? Do you take it orally or do you boof it? Or if you have taken prog both ways what differences have you noticed between side effects? What kind of positive and/or negative effects would you attribute to progesterone? Does cycling your progesterone intake (2 weeks on, 2 weeks off) actually have positive effects or is that just reddit nonsense?
I was on it for 4 months but stopped taking it because I feared that I may have started it too soon, and I was also worried that it may have been negatively impacting my mental health. In hindsight I'm not sure if either of those were true, so I'm contemplating starting prog again soon. I was taking 100mg nightly by boofing it, and honestly I'm not sure that I noticed any changes (other than the potential worsening mental health) so maybe I should try orally this go around? I'd love to hear about your experiences and insight.

This is one of the major things you'll find in the literature: women's health literature more broadly began to hone in on the difference between synthetic progestins and micronized #P4 a long while back.
So you'll find some review talking about the risks associated with #progesterone but then find out that their entire research is based on synthetic progestins in a combination of mice and postmenopausal women.

Happy #PharmPhriday!
#Hormones can be confusing, so let’s break down some of their functions, starting with progesterone. One important role is maintaining a pregnancy (hence why #mifepristone, a progesterone blocker, is an #abortion drug).
#Progesterone can be administered intramuscularly (in oil, PIO) or vaginally; oral has been shown to be less effective.
If you don’t want a daily 💉🍑 through 1st trimester, talk to your doc about vaginal progesterone! #OBGynodon #Fertility #Infertility #IVF

CW: Progesterone boofing after a colostomy/colectomy
I recently tested whether one can boof (take rectally) a progesterone capsule into a stoma.
The short answer was that you can, but it really doesn't work well, as the stoma ejects it before it sufficiently dissolves.
For science, I tried boofing into my remaining rectal stump resulting from my "Hartmann's procedure" surgery.
With a little bit of lube, it worked surprising well 😌💊☝

CW: Progesterone "boofing"; stoma
Update 2:
Tried it again yesterday evening. My stoma quickly spat out the partially-dissolved capsule before it could be fully broken down.
I'd say that this method is a bust unless you specifically put on a tight ostomy belt immediately after inserting the progesterone capsule.

CW: Progesterone "boofing"; stoma
I couldn't find a definitive answer to whether you can "boof" (take rectally) a progesterone capsule into a stoma rather than via the regular rectal route.
For science, I have just gently inserted one an inch or two into my stoma, then put on my ostomy belt, so it doesn't work its way out overnight.
I'll let you know how it goes 😌

My latest for #UTSouthwestern:
Vaginal #progesterone, a hormone treatment considered the standard of care for preventing #preterm birth in at-risk pregnant women, may not be effective, according to #UTSW research published in #JAMANetworkOpen. The findings come just as the #FDA is likely to pull #Makena progsterone injections from the market, leaving few options for women and underscoring the need for more research in the area.
