[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had a partial hyster at 50 due to horrific period pain.  After 7 years the remaining ovary died and I went through menopause.  I had to use estrogen (e-ring never Premarin) in order to continue to have sex.  Without the estrogren, it wasn't really an option physically.

Added progesterone a few years later when I discovered it worked like valium! and helped with sleep.

Looking forward to adding testosterone to help with building muscle and reducing pain.  Not to mention restoring the size of my cl*t.  [/quote]

[b]No doctor should be prescribing estrogen without progesterone. [/b]If you have to take estrogen, and you had a partial not complete hysterectomy, then progesterone offsets some of the risk. That was almost malpractice.[/quote]

Actually no. If you have a uterus, you need the progesterone. PP had a partial hysterectomy and left the ovaries in tact. That means that the uterus was gone. No progesterone was needed.

I’m heading to the pharmacy to pick up my prescription for estrogen AND progesterone. “You have your uterus, so you need progesterone,” is exactly what my doctor said 24 hours ago. Can’t wait to get started. The night sweats are killing me. Interrupted sleep is the worst. [/quote]
