What is "cyclic" hormone combinations? I've not heard of this. Since my insurance drug program has almost doubled the cost of my prescriptions, I'm investigating all possibilities for hormone replacement. I used to be on hormone cream & had to switch due to change in Mail Order Pharmacy. I'm currently on Estratest, which I don't like as well, and my cost will almost double.

Hi Lucette
Usually four weeks of estrogen with progestin added for the last 10-13 days. I hope this helps.

Estrogen with progesterone added into the cycle for women with a uterus. Estrogen alone may cause endoplasia of the the uterine lining --a risk for a uterine cancer. The opposing progesterone keeps the lining from building up.

Daily Horoscope for December 31

Aries

Someone wants to go their own way today and they won't care whose feathers they ruffle in the process. It's a lunar eclipse at the Full Moon in Cancer, so let them get on with it. The last thing you should do now is to hang on to their coat-tails or do anything else that will make them feel restricted. Make it plain that you've got your own fish to fry, thank you very much. And try not to let it stop you enjoying yourself. Have a great night!
