So you're ready to talk estrogen — now what?In Part 2, we get into the practical stuff: your options, what to expect when you start, and the questions you should absolutely be asking your provider.We break down the difference between systemic and localized formulations, why the route you take matters (hello, oral vs. transdermal), and what insurance will and won't cover. We also talk estriol - yes, there's a version that works locally without raising your serum levels, and it has some pretty interesting uses beyond the obvious.Then there's the titration dance. Side effects, breakthrough bleeding, what's normal, what needs attention, and why slow really is the only way to go.We close out with a guided list of questions to bring to your next appointment - because the best outcomes happen when you show up to that conversation prepared.Part 1 is still up if you missed it. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Andrea⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - [email protected]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Ashley⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠- [email protected]
