It's Hump 🐫 Day & Hormones!
I had my visit with Dr. Jennings & Courtney!
I'm feeling so much better!!!
🥴Ever feel like your hormone therapy is doing the most... but not in the way you hoped?
This week on Hump Day Hormones, we’re diving into a topic that’s way more common than you might realize: what to do when hormone replacement therapy (HRT) isn’t going as smoothly as you hoped.
🫶🏼We’re all about helping women feel their absolute best with HRT, and part of that is understanding that the journey can be bumpy.
From irregular bleeding and breast tenderness to mood swings and progesterone sensitivity, we’re unpacking why these symptoms occur, how to troubleshoot them, and, most importantly, how to advocate for your body and care, putting you in the driver’s seat of your health journey!
Think of this as your ultimate guide to understanding side effects, what’s normal, when to wait it out, and when it’s time to call your provider. (Spoiler alert: it’s not always love at first dose!)
