Please check out the latest podcast from “UnPaused” (Dr Haver). There may be information that can help you on this topic.

You may do better absorbing a progesterone oral troche than using the capsules. You may not be able to absorb them well if you have gut health issues. It needs absorption with a fat like Greek yogurt or peanut butter and maybe you’re also sensitive to the peanut or soy oils the caps come in. While you’re already off kilter from not absorbing the topical progesterone it’s tough to figure it out. Patience is key.

FWIW I was on 250 mg progesterone and opened a 25mg cap to divide it and I’m bumping up using 12.5mg (approximately) slowly and I still have side effects but they’re manageable/tolerable. I know I could not handle a 100mg bump all at once. No way.

“The Freedom State” (/s obvi)

Americans paying for this shit over and over again. I really wish we knew the actual tally for his bullshit cases.

How ironic(?) that Nazis or at the very least Nazi sympathizers have been in control or currently control Florida and they put forth an African American male candidate to take the reigns, then they do this prior to the elections. They are head spinning trolls, all while funding Israel. Make it make sense.

Is this oral or topical transdermal progesterone? If topical (TD), switch to oral. You may have an absorption issue with it. If it’s compounded oral and it’s not long acting,

I would consider discussing with your HRT doctor about an oral troche and taking that along with with a fat like full fat Greek yogurt. Ask the doctor if you should put the troche in the mucus membrane between teeth and cheek and let it sit a few seconds. It’s possible you may not have optimal stomach absorption with the compounded oral powder filled capsule. Women who have the oil filled caps discuss biting down and letting the gel swish in the mouth before swallowing for better absorption.

ETA - FWIW I had this same experience with compounded progesterone caps and transdermal. I also had to bump the dose slowly until bleeding stopped. Easy enough to do with compound capsule.

If it’s compounded oral and it’s not long acting, I would consider making a coconut oil troche with the contents of the capsule and some stevia or sweetener and taking that with a fat like full fat Greek yogurt. Put the troche in the mucus membrane between teeth and cheek and let it sit a few seconds. You may not have optimal stomach absorption with the capsule. Women who have the oil filled caps can bite down and let the gel swish in the mouth before swallowing for better absorption.

Just imagine how long it must have taken her to read the volume of material needed to become a lawyer considering her toddleresque speed reading speed during the first presser.

How to double down on stupid ridiculous crap you say live on video 101: Post about it on SM in text form.

It’s wild surreal to watch America’s descent into fascism through hand held devices and television, all while everyone goes about their daily life. Also wild to see the calmness in some cases in which it’s being reported.

Floridian’s hard earned cash literally in the shitter and the ones who need to know this information aren’t seeing it because the MSM isn’t reporting it.

Why is America flying Chinese flags? Is this something we’ve ever done before when Xi came to visit prior to Trump 2.0 or 1.0?

Also, it could not look more tacky or ridiculously insane that the signage for the Oval Office is there. It looks like a dementia care facility.

I don’t think they’re looking for whether Dems or Independents will flip to Donalds. I think they’re testing whether the ad made an impact on their values or made them feel unsure enough about Jolly to cast doubt enough and make them at least consider not voting at all.

Aren’t they living in military housing on America’s dime?

Is it possible you’re not really absorbing the estrogen from the patch? Perhaps you would be a gel or compound estrogen candidate, or you just maybe don’t absorb well transdermally and you’d do better with oral or injectable estrogen if your doctor clears you for that.

I wish more docs would recommend slowly titrating doses. This is so unfortunate and I wonder if you tried slowly titrating with compounded progesterone in small 10mg doses you might adjust better.

That can be histamine intolerance, especially if you’re having left overs or meats that have been aged. Any canned fish can also cause this issue.

There may be more to this than your doctor is telling you. It may be an absorption issue, especially if you have gut issues. If it’s not long acting, you could try biting down on a capsule and putting some of the contents between gum and cheek, or swish around the mouth. It’s good to mix with a fat like Greek yogurt or peanut butter so it passes through the liver. The oral mucosal absorption could give better results for you, or you might do better with vaginal or rectal suppositories. There are still options including what your doctor mentioned.

Perhaps you’ve forgotten that he made sure to push all of his donors to the front of the line to actually get their hands on the vaccines before any Floridians did and many died?

He’s as corrupt as they come and there’s no way he’s walking away from politics. He sees the opportunity for ultimate power and greed and will take yet another shot at the WH.

Just remember in “The Freedom State” he managed to remove way more of Floridian’s rights than he’s help to increase. He’s just done it the Trump way, by conning them into believing he’s doing something positive for them while becoming more and more restricted every day. This latest Flock camera removal bit is perfectly timed for the midterms and he knows damn well if Donalds wins, he’ll push Project 2025 and the MAGA agenda full on to line his own pockets, and Donald’s will just put them back into play. He is a fraudster and a con, same as Trump and let’s also not forget who he hung around with in his younger days (pedophiles and criminals).

Maybe you can try an online provider service like Midi. I’m not recommending them as such, but there are many now.

There’s another trick. If you are not taking long acting progesterone and you’re taking the oil based capsules, chomp on them before swallowing and let the oil get in between your teeth and cheeks. Progesterone is best absorbed by a mucus membrane.

I’m opening my powdered compound caps and dissolving them in coconut oil and refrigerating them to make a troche. Then I loosen the troche with some warm water on the underside of the containing TBS and put the troche between my teeth/gums and cheek. Take with full fat Greek yogurt.
