I am 55 years old and have been post-menopausal for about 4 years after a hysterectomy, retaining my ovaries. I am experiencing severe symptoms including insomnia, hot flashes, lack of energy, anxiety, painful sex, mood swings, and dry skin. I tried 0.5 mg of estradiol for 10 days and felt significantly better, but I'm concerned about the risks of hormone therapy. My current doctor does not prescribe hormone therapy. What are the risks and benefits of continuing with hormone therapy, and what other options might be available for managing these symptoms?

I recently got a Nexplanon implant and am concerned about the possibility of being pregnant. My last period started at the beginning of July, and I had a urine test done, but I'm unsure if they had enough sample to accurately determine the result. They inserted the implant shortly after, and I'm worried they might have missed a positive result. What should I do to confirm my pregnancy status and address my missed period?
