Two weeks to needing to stopping HRT 4 weeks before bottom surgery... My levels were very high and it's a DVT risk amplifier. I know this means stopping estrogen, but does it mean stopping progesterone too? 🤔 I've no real clue as to the effect of this, I assume an emotional crash. Anyone been through this? #deevagina

@dee@social.treehouse.systems Having low estro level means either PMS or menopause. Cis-women aren't happy to have any of those. I was on effectively no estro for 3 months and it was hell. Do not recommend. I don't know how taking prog without estro would work. There are anticoagulants in injections that prevent clots, but allows cuts and scars to heal. You may want to try them to lower the risk from estro.

@dee@social.treehouse.systems afaik stopping HRT before surgery is a quite outdated practice; I wasn't told to back then

@dee@social.treehouse.systems I stopped both 3 weeks prior. I got depressed for a couple days after like a week, but after that it was mostly just upcoming surgery anxiety
