The HRT effect of a teenaged DD

[user1499173618]

Two years ago my periods started getting erratic and, by last summer, they were so few and far between that they took me by surprise when they did occur.

My 13 year old DD started her periods in February. I have now returned to a 28 day cycle, regular as clockwork, bang in sync with DD.

Has anyone else experienced this? I can only explain it by some kind of hormonal transfer from her to me (and we do cuddle a lot).

I meant - do you cuddle them now? Skin to skin, breath sharing cuddles?

er no

user Vaginal estrogen is not classed as HRT. It is a localised treatment using one weak hormone. This is a good site by a dr and 3rd paragraph from the end it says that' vaginal estrogen is not HRT.'

And so?

Whether or not other women use HRT is up to them, based on their own assessment of the risks to their health and of their family members.

Because we aren't discussing HRT.

Obviously the way for your friends to assess the impact of vaginal estrogen is to only have sex with condoms and see if their men's boobs shrink :) or not have sex at all. Or have sex but be very sore.

Given the dose is a tiny amount, once or twice a week, absorbed in a short time, doesn't stay in the vagina once it's absorbed, how do they explain the transfer?

I don’t know! I just know that gynaecologists and dermatologists (both of whom prescribe HRT where I live) confirm that transfer is a risk and occurs.

Where do you live?
In the UK there is agreement that Oestrogel, and Sandrena (gel) can transfer within an hour of applying it. This is on the leaflet in the packs.
This is systemic HRT.

There is no consensus or any scientific proof that vaginal estrogen (cream or pessary) can transfer. It is not even classed as 'HRT'.
It is used sometimes by women who have had breast cancer, does not get into the blood stream, and to have any effect on a man it would need to be applied to his penis by the gallon .

Anyway, no point going over old ground,

I suspect User that you are in the US. A quick shufty online shows that they U is very much behind with their thinking on all sorts of menopause treatment because they even state that vaginal creams cannot be given to women at risk of breast cancer. The best and latest info is here, where you can see that a year's worth of estrogen cream = 1 estrogen tablet. (Written by a dr.)patient.info/doctor/hrt-topical

The only contra-indications to use of topical oestrogens are active breast cancer and also undiagnosed vaginal or uterine bleeding[1]. They are otherwise safe. The amount systemically absorbed is very low[7]. A year's supply of topical oestrogen is equivalent to having one tablet of standard HRT.

Menstruation syncs in groups of women who work together too - you don't need to touch each other nonstop.

Cycles also changes according to the men around - girls with fathers at home start menstruating much later than fatherless females.
