Kate’s Question: Hi, I’ve been doing extensive research and I came across your site. I don’t know if you’re still responding to email questions or not, but I thought I’d give it a try. I just completed my first year of no periods. Dryness, I have the beginning of atrophy, is really my only issue. But I was given 50/50 ratio Biest, one gram a day. I do that vaginally as an insertion for two weeks, and then I reduce it to two times a week after that. I don’t do any progesterone, but this is what my experience has been. After the first full week, I started bleeding. After the second week, it became heavier bleeding. So then they put me on it for a third week and I was supposed to drop down my Biest 50/50, but I continued bleeding. So, I do feel great. And now it’s week four, and the bleeding is starting to taper and I’m loving this but worried about the bleeding. So just wondering your about your thoughts. Thank you, Kate.

Short Answer: With our patients, we don’t use Estradiol vagainlly in order to minimize any unwanted spotting or bleeding. We only use Estriol for vaginal use as it is a “weaker” hormone and less likely to cause any bleeding issues.

So we really apologize that we’re not able to keep up with is as many of them as they keep coming. I think it’s a good thing. Alright, we have an unlimited amount of content to talk about. We are gonna dive in. This is Kate’s question. We are changing everybody’s name just to keep it, you know, just to keep it you know. So no one’s, there’s no identifying information. So if you did submit a question, we might have answered it or we were probably going to answer it but the name might be different so you might have to actually pay extra attention to the podcast. So Dr. Davidson won’t you go ahead and we’ll just dive in.

Dr. Davidson: All right, let’s dive in. So this question is from Kate. So, ‘Hi, I’ve been doing extensive research and I came across your site. I don’t know if you’re still responding to email questions or not, but I thought I’d give it a try,’ and this is why we do get a lot of email questions. We get a lot of, lot of questions on the website, but we want to do them for everybody to listen because it actually all this really applies to a lot of people. So, okay, just to continue with Kate here, ‘So I just completely…’

Dr. Maki: Oh sorry, that’s the copilot. Our co-host Bob is playing with his antlers, deer antlers. So sorry about that.

Dr. Davidson: And he loves to talk and make lots of noise.
