Accepted Answer

No worries: It is not unusual to have these irregular hormonal fluctuations with progesterone only devices. It is always good advice to check a urine pregnancy test since that is the reason you are using the Nexplanon in the first place. Once you verify its negative, you know the device is doing its job and so you worry less.

Accepted Answer

Viral infection: Slight fever and rash could be viral but a worsening fever could be a more serious infection.

Question 3

is bioidentical progesterone topical cream for arms just as good as taking a 50 mg bioidentical capsule at night before bed for menopause hot flashes?

Accepted Answer

Neither: The term "bioidentical" is a marketing tool, used to make people believe that these products are somehow better or safer than other forms of hormones.  There is no good evidence that this is true.  Most topical creams are not regulated by the fda, and so their effectiveness is mostly unknown.  Estrogen is the much more effective hormone for treating menopausal symptoms than progesterone.
