I am age 66. At age 50 my GYN put me on Prempro. I had no symptoms of menopause. He said that it will happen and I can prevent the discomfort of it by starting estrogen therapy. He was right, I have never had any of the things people talk about. What I am wondering, would I maybe not even had the symptoms anyway? I have been on it for 16 years now. My GYN has now prescribed a low dose, but how do I know if I even need it? I am basically healthy.
Hi,
I posted on Community, but really meant to ask my question here.
I recently had a mammogram which showed findings of a cyst. I needed additional views, so I returned three days later for a second mammogram of the left breast only, and it showed a nodule. I had an ultrasound the same day which showed an 8 mm benign cyst and several other subcentimeter benign cysts, some with low internal echoes (what are internal echoes?
Have been taking Prempro for 14 yrs. Hot flashes and osteopenia (pre-osteoporosis). Awaiting biopsy results for microcalcifications around or in ducts. Can prempro increase risk of BC, in particular, DCIS?
Three days ago I went to a new doctor to get the hormones adjusted and she said she does not prescribe bioidenticals and gave me a prescription for Prempro. I do not want to take this and I told her so. She said she does not believe bioidenticals are any safer than Prempro and if I needed to have an adjustment in my Rx due to break through symptoms of hot flashes and severe brain fog along with zero energy then I needed to try something different than what I had been doing.
this starts a vicious cycle of more insulin, more carbs and of course weight gain. You want to lower your carb intake as low as you can and lower your insulin dose accordingly. To do this you need to figure out your insulin:Carb ratio. Some doctors put their patients on set doses or sliding scales for their mealtime insulin and this also leads to weight gain. I recommend the book Using Insulin by John Walsh which teaches you to use insulin:carb ratios.
Birth control pills typically rely upon a combination of estrogens and progesterone and a lower dose pill may cause less weight gain. Hence if you have to take the pill then, choose a low-dose contraceptive which will reduce the risks of side effects, including weight gain. Watch your weight, eat a healthy diet, and exercise regularly.
You could also consider an intrauterine device (IUD) with a low dose of hormones, like the Mirena or vaginal rings.
I have been shedding for months and it is really scary. I have very fine hair and not a lot of it to start with.I have been on low dose PremPro for years and am a little worried about continuing with the breast cancer element but I am afraid to give it up and lose even more hair. I take a good vitamin, I am on thryroid, I eat right and have good lifestyle. I am afraid I will end up pitifully bald. Help?
Of you are eating healthy and baby is still measuring right, then there is no need to worry about weight gain. I gained 30+ with my first and this time I am 28 weeks and have only gain 6 lbs. My baby is measuring 5 days ahead. You don't necessarily have to have weight gain for a healthy pregnancy. If you are feeling that something really isn't right tho, talk to your doctor about your weight.
Is there anyone else out there that cannot gain weight? I am now 99 pounds and 5"5. I eat and eat and keep losing weight. My TSH is .2 which is low and FT4 is 1.1. My doctor said they are not going to change my dose. I am just so embarressed about it.
Well, victoza will start off making you have nausea, vomiting sometime. You will get past this, it can take up to three months. After that I just kind of never felt right but thought I was just going to have to deal with this the rest of my life! Than about at 10 to 12 months I started to have severe stomach pain which I thought was my gall bladder. I was probably having pancreatic attacks, but never went to the hospital to have blood work; very stupid idea by the way.
(....I cannot seem to get healthy enough for a workout that will help reduce my weight gain. I am concentrating on whole grains, raw foods and yet the weight will not budge. I am very concerned for reoccuring cancer due to heavy weight and also complications with my general health due to the weight. I am medication free right now, except a small dose of Celexa. I have just had the flu/bronchitus for 10 days and it is brutal. I need to get strong to fight off these things....
I'm 55 years of age and menopausal. Last week I had an vagibal ultrasound showing endometrial thickness of 18 mm. My ovaries were normal. Just 7 months ago I had a vaginal ultrasound and it was normal with my endometrium 2.9mm. I was on birth control pills at that time and have been taking them for over 10 years. I have no vaginal bleeding or discomfort. I started Prempro last month for a month, but stopped due to symptoms of bloatness and weight gain.
Your thyroid levels were fine and if you added the cytomel to the 100mcg of levoxyl, the TSH will likely be too low (ie, too much medication) and if you stay on cytomel, the levoxyl dose would need to be changed most likely.
The weight gain is not likely due to thyroid.
is this weight gain fat gain? Or is it water weight? My water weight can fluctuate dramatically throughout the course of the day (often 5-6 pounds from morning to night). My weight is very strongly influenced by electrolyte levels and hydration. I run outside most days, and in the summer, I struggle to make sure I'm hydrated and have consumed enough electrolytes. If I consume too few electrolytes after a sweaty run, I wake up bloated and weight is up.
Yes it does help you get pregnant and it can cause you to gain weight just try to make sure you watch what you eat and don't drink a lot of sodas or eat a lot of salt as they can make you retain water and swell and add weight gain good luck.
Just Curious what kind of clinic will not help you because of your weight? Isn't that discrimination????
