You don't have to wait till you're in menopause to start hormone therapy.

So a lot of women are starting it earlier than ever before.

So my girlfriend, who's a doctor, she gave me some estrogen to put on underneath my arm, just like, I think it's 0.25.

I started taking it.

And within like three days, I had acne all over my body.

Are you allergic to the cream?

Maybe.

It was just like the inside arm.

And I'm thinking, oh my God.

And I'm like, I can't.

I don't want acne.

You know, I don't want acne all over my body.

And I'm like, I'm not even sure.

So I ended up stopping it.

But I'm definitely interested in starting those things because it will.

It will help sleep.

It will help regulate.

And like, why not get in front of something before it like...

surprises you and you're like oh oh no now you're like trying to get a doctor's appointment it's three months out before you can actually get in to see a doctor and you're like so and maybe a patch too is a possibility you know like that might have been a compounding cream a compounded cream and so I you know we're having a a difficult time locating a lot of these patches a lot of women are saying they're experiencing problems with that but I would definitely say this I would definitely say that if you can get your hands on a patch maybe that's a good way to go about doing it

Why are people having a hard time getting their hands on a patch?
