[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Docs being willing to Rx the pill is so insane. The hormone doses are so much higher![/quote]

i think pill controls your own hormones, hrt adds hormones. right?

'unlike typical HRT which supplements  hormones in your body, birth control pills literally take over.

They override your own hormonal production — in effect, signaling your ovaries to take a breather and stop producing estrogen and progesterone — and supplant it with the hormones in the pills themselves.

In other words, you get just what is in the pill. You’re not adding hormones on top of what you’re producing on your own, but literally replacing them

It’s also a key reason why birth control pills are often prescribed if you’re perimenopausal and suffering with symptoms: In perimenopause, you’re still producing non-menopausal (that is, higher) levels of estrogen and progesterone on your own, so adding more hormones (as you would if you went on standard HRT) might actually make you feel worse.'
