A member asked:
If you rub a hormone replacement of estrogen under your arm pits, can it cause you to start your period?

Bleeding is possible: Assuming one is not menopausal, exposure to estrogen or progestin - from many routes, can initiate a vaginal bleed. Of course there are many variables - point in cycle, how much and how often the medication is taken, etc.
