Tried

Micronized Progesterone

Micronized Progesterone helped somewhat with my osteopenia diagnosis — energy improved, though sleep didn't improve much. Not a miracle but not nothing either.

Tried

Micronized Progesterone

I gave Micronized Progesterone a fair trial for my DEXA scan showing bone loss. Some improvement in mood stabilised slightly but the hot flashes continued persisted. Not a miracle but not nothing either.

Tried

Estradiol Patch Micronized Progesterone

I started HRT primarily for bone protection after my mum broke her hip at 68. After a year on the patches my DEXA improved slightly — my spine went from -2.0 to -1.7. The hot flashes and sleep also improved which I hadn't even listed as my main concern. The patch irritation is manageable if I rotate sites. I plan to stay on HRT for the foreseeable future.
