💡 Hormones & Relationships: A Game Changer? 💡⁠

I’m not here to scare you, but let's talk about how hormones can make a real difference in your life, especially when dealing with severe menopause symptoms. 🌸⁠

I've had patients who started hormone treatment years after their symptoms began, and more than one has said, "I wouldn’t have gotten divorced if I’d found these medications sooner." 😳 They realized that their mood swings, irritability, and even loss of libido could have been managed better, possibly saving their relationships.⁠

Now, I’m not saying hormones can fix everything, but they can help more than you might think. If you're struggling with these challenges, don’t hesitate to reach out. There’s no need to tough it out alone. 💕

Me at the OBGYN hiding my underwear, knowing full well she's about to be wrist-deep in my cervix. 🙈⁠

Why are we like this? 😅 But also... how dilated am I? 🤷‍♀️⁠

Thank you 🎥: for capturing this hilariously awkward moment! 😂⁠

And for those moments when you need someone who truly understands, Dr. Amy Tomlinson is here to provide compassionate care—no hiding necessary. 💁‍♀️

✨ Menopause & Perimenopause: You're Not Alone! ✨⁠

If there's one thing I wish more people knew about perimenopause and menopause, it's that these symptoms can be managed! Many come to me, terrified that they’ll be stuck with these changes forever. But let me tell you, that's far from the truth. 🙌⁠

I’ve seen women with severe symptoms that disrupt their lives, but with the right treatment, things do get better. Take one of my patients—a powerhouse CEO who was overwhelmed by brain fog, so much so that she considered stepping down. With some estrogen treatment, she was back to making sharp decisions in just a few weeks! 💼✨⁠

Your symptoms don’t define you, and you don’t have to navigate them alone. There’s a brighter, symptom-free future ahead. 🌟

As long as he got that dog in him, I’m good. 🐶⁠

We get it—some folks feel men shouldn’t be gynecologists because they don’t fully understand the female experience. It’s like taking your dog to the vet and saying, "No, I need someone who gets it." But as long as he’s got that dog in him, I’m good. 🐾⁠

Thank you, 🎥: , for this spot-on health humor! 😂⁠

And hey, if you’re looking for a doctor who truly understands what you’re going through, Dr. Amy Tomlinson is here to listen and provide the care you need. 💁‍♀️ She’s a woman who gets it.

💊 Starting Bioidentical Hormones: What to Expect 💊⁠

Thinking about starting bioidentical hormones and wondering how often you’ll need to see me? Let’s break it down! 👩‍⚕️⁠

Our first appointment is a deep dive into everything about you—your symptoms, medical history, and what’s happening in your life. If bioidentical hormones are the right fit, we’ll discuss all the options: pills, patches, creams, compounded or not, pellets, injections—you name it, you choose it. 🩺⁠

I’ll prescribe based on your symptoms, transition stage, age, weight, and more. After you start the treatment, we’ll touch base in 2 weeks to make sure you’re feeling better. If not, we’ll adjust things right away.⁠

At the 2-month mark, we’ll check in for any tweaks. Then, you’re good to go with a year’s worth of refills—no need to see me every 3 months! During perimenopause, your needs might change, so we’ll meet as needed. Once you hit menopause, it’s smooth sailing—just annual check-ins to keep things steady. 🚀

I love when people ask me, "What do you have going on tonight?"⁠

I’m gonna be in bed. I’m gonna be horizontal. I’m gonna be watching my big screen while also looking at my little screen at the same time with my snackies. I am for the sheets, not the streets. 😴✨⁠

Comment below if you are for the sheets and not the streets! 😂⁠

Thank you 🎥: for this relatable vibe! And if those sheets are where you’re finding comfort during menopause, Dr. Amy Tomlinson is here to help make those nights a little smoother. 💁‍♀️

💊 Insurance & Bioidentical Hormones: The Struggle Is Real 💊⁠

Let’s be honest—dealing with insurance is a headache, especially when it comes to bioidentical hormones. 😤 I get it, and I’m sorry we all have to navigate this frustrating system.⁠

Here’s the deal: When I prescribe estrogen and progesterone, it’s like prescribing any other medication. I have no idea what it’ll cost you at the pharmacy, how much insurance will cover, or what’ll hit your deductible. It’s a gamble every time. 🎲⁠

If you find the medication is too expensive at the pharmacy, don’t accept it over the counter. Instead, ask about cheaper options or use a GoodRx coupon to shop around for a better price.⁠

And here’s a tip I love—Mark Cuban’s Cost Plus Pharmacy offers progesterone for just $15 for a 3-month supply! 🙌 That’s a steal! Just let me know where to send the prescription, and we’ll get you taken care of.⁠

Navigating this system isn’t easy, but I’m here to help you find the best options. 💪

🔬 What Does Bioidentical Really Mean? 🔬⁠

Let’s break it down: Bioidentical means that a hormone is exactly the same as what your body naturally produced. 🧬 Think of the progesterone your ovaries made throughout your reproductive life. Your cells recognize it and know exactly what to do with it.⁠

Now, compare that to a progestin—a similar but not bioidentical hormone. Your cells might recognize it, but they’re more like, “Hmm, I think I know what this is… maybe?” 🤔 It’s more like a medication than a gentle, natural helper.⁠

That’s why bioidentical hormones are special—they match the exact structure of what your body used to produce, making them a better fit for what your cells understand and need. And here’s the kicker: Bioidentical has nothing to do with where the hormone comes from—whether it’s made in a lab, a pharmacy, or a factory. It’s all about the molecular structure. 🧪⁠

So, when you hear “bioidentical,” think of it as giving your body exactly what it knows and loves. 🌟

💪 Hormone Replacement Therapy: It’s More Than Just Hot Flashes 💪⁠

Let’s clear something up—Hormone Replacement Therapy (or Menopause Replacement Therapy, whatever you want to call it) is about so much more than just easing hot flashes. 🔥⁠

Many of my patients tell me that after starting therapy, they don’t just feel better physically—they feel more resilient. They’re able to handle stress, roll with the punches, and face life’s challenges head-on. 🌟⁠

Resilience is something we all need, especially during the ups and downs of midlife. So, if you’re thinking about HRT, remember—it’s not just about symptoms; it’s about feeling stronger, more balanced, and ready to take on the world. 💥
