A Reader Asks: Will Estrogen Bring My Endometriosis Back?

Happy Sunday, everybody. It's Mere here, and I'm going to get right into it this week!

I've been doing a reader Q&A series where you, the reader, fill out an anonymous questionnaire and I write a blog answering your question directly. A big thank you to anyone who has dropped in a question we are three blogs, submissions deep, and I honestly I have been enjoy this tremendously! Another incredible thing has been being able to refer back to these writings often. Sarah and I were just buzzing after our most recent group mentorship call to which the discussions the coaches bring are SO GOOD, and everybody learns together, grows together. My next Q&A blog is actually going to come from a question from a group mentorship client that aligns perfectly with this series. It's exciting to be able to bring information here that people can reference and come back to.

Today's blog comes from exactly that: a reader question. She had a hysterectomy with one ovary removed for stage 3 deep infiltrating endometriosis, full excision including a bowel resection, and she's scared that starting estrogen hormone therapy will bring it back. She asked when to start hormone therapy, what her options are, and how to weigh the benefits against that risk.

It's a hefty read, so I'm keeping this newsletter short:

[READ THE FULL BLOG HERE]

 

My next blog is already locked and loaded: starting hormone therapy after menopause onset! 

As always, If you have a question of your own, the anonymous form that started this whole series is still open: Ask Fortify here.

and with that, we wish you an amazing Sunday!

Mere & Sarah

Evolving Into Summer
Happy 4th of July weekend! I love this holiday, I think because I love Summer. But Summer is also … weird? This one feels like it, at least. I saw this meme and thought it was too relatable, and from the conversations I’ve been having with you, you may think the same.   The last 2 weeks have been insane. Good things! But I'll be honest, I felt guilty over not having the bandwidth for writing. ...
A Reader Asks, Part Two: How Do You Actually Choose a Delivery Method?
Happy Sunday, Mere here. Are you ready for part two!?! Quick context for anyone newer here: I'm answering reader questions that come in through an anonymous form, one at a time, with real depth. Last week was week one of that, the first submission I sat down and answered publicly. So to catch you up a little: two weeks ago a woman wrote in. She's 36 to 40, cycling like clockwork, not on anythin...
The Iron Panel Decoded: Patterns, Ranges, and What to Do Next
Happy Father's Day! Sarah here , and I'd be remiss if I didn't wish a happy happy to my first Coach , and wow I got lucky. I know we all have different coaching stories, and not everyone had good firsts. I'm lucky in that whether it was formal sports or “sports Fridays” playing a hybrid tennis and kickball game with my sister and I (the Cha Chas, if you wanted to know our team name), my first C...
