[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes I just started LoEstrin (?spelling). So far it’s evened out severe mood swings and significantly decreased the clotting and heaviness in my periods. 3 months in and I have a follow up soon to check blood pressure, etc. [/quote]

I did this med for a few months and was pleased - overall mood help, took away hot flashes, but it did raise my blood pressure so I had to stop.  Very disappointed. After many months now two months in to trying HRT. [/quote]

Does HRT have much less hormones than LoEstrin?[/quote]

You’ll need to research this and/or talk about it with your gyn.  It’s not apples to apples.  Birth control suppresses your own hormones and replaces them completely.  HRT adds to the hormones you already have. [/quote]

False.  Many women have very low progesterone during peri.  This causes irregular and very heavy (flooding/soaking through) periods.  Going on BC with progesterone restores the level of the hormone in your body.[/quote]

What are you “false”ing?  Both BC and HRT will give you progesterone.  BC has you stop any you’re making and replaces it. HRT adds to the levels you have.[/quote]
