So probably a stupid question. Is it my imagination or did estrogen vaginal cream cause color to come back in my pubic hair?

Hi Dr G! I'm 45, with an IUD (this one's only 1.5 yrs old) and don't get a period with it. How will I even know I'm entering the menopause transition?

I was told to try swedish flower pollen extract for menopause symptoms. Have you heard of it? Would you recommend it?

So happy to have discovered you and your books and blog! I'm perimenopausal and trying to find answers to some enigmatic symptoms and getting nowhere with my new OB. (I recently had to transition away from Kaiser and my wonderful OB there because of a job/insurance change.) I was referred to my new OB by an ER doctor when I went in with severe back and abdominal pain in June. He is apparently the "best in SF" but after 4 months of frustrating and painful visits (one of them a medieval uterine biopsy that left me crying while mopping up a bloody exam table), I think I need to find a new provider. How I wish I was still with Kaiser! Any chance you'd be able to share a recommendation for an OBs outside of the Kaiser system that deals well with enigmatic situations?
