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

Food Noise: Why It Happens and How to Quiet It
I first heard the term food noise about 15 years ago when I was sitting in an inpatient treatment center for eating disorders. I struggled with food noise when I struggled with anorexia throughout my teens and early 20s. When you're starving yourself that tends to happen.Ā  But it's not the only reason, and quite franklyĀ many of you reading this are starving yourselves and don't even know it. An...
Why Your Vaginal Exam Doesn't Stop at Menopause
Happy Sunday, everyone. Mere here! Currently I am writing this newsletter a week early with the idea to give myself a bit of space … in short I am working to be prepared for what will be coming up. In a few days, my sister and I are heading to South Carolina for what I've started calling a turn and burn trip: you drive to your destination, you stay twenty four hours (if lucky), and you leave. W...
