Hello All,
I am only 42 but have been having a difficult time for years. Been to several doctors over the years for my "mysterious " symptoms that no one seems to think are linked but me.
Long story short, I had a consultation today with a Dr. that does bioTE pellet bhrt therapy. It’s a pellet inserted into a buttock that slowly releases hormones based on lab results. It lasts 3-4 months and can be tweaked to find the right mix.
Do any premenopausal women have experience with this and can provide insight?
On one hand, I feel I am very sensitive to the menstrual cycle hormones now and think maybe a steady base of hormones might help. However, I am afraid of making everything worse. 1 year ago I was over 10 lbs lighter and hardly able to eat with digestion issues. Now I am in a bloated stage despite working out and eating well. I am only 5’ 1" so 10 lbs is a lot on my frame.
Aside from the symptoms that change month to month, low libido has been a problem for years and neck/joint issues. Unfortunately, I am getting more dark facial hair now and shedding a lot of hair on my head. I think testosterone might make this worse and no Dr. has looked at estrogen levels because of age and because I am still menstruating. It’s such a catch 22, this 1 thing will fix this but make these other things worse. I just feel I am way too young to be asexual, frumpy and losing my hair lol.
Any feedback on bioTE is appreciated!
