Im angry! I'm flipping mad! It shouldn't be this hard! A woman should be able to go to a Dr and get the accurate correct help. I'm trying to educate myself and learn from you but it's overwhelming. It's ridiculous that we as women have to go through the lies, misconceptions, myths and complete ignorance with Drs!!! I can schedule a visit with you but who's going to listen to me when you give me the information?? Which Dr is going to happily fill my prescription?? I'm 45 and I want to be empowered, I want to be educated about my body and what's best for it! This is stressful. You have done a wonderful job with all of the videos and I appreciate them, but honestly it's a shame that you are mainly the only person thoroughly teaching us. There should be ones like you in every city! This should be taught to every Dr working with women! So frustrating!!!!!!!

Progesterone by mouth nightly has resolved my intermittent insomnia & some anxiety. Thankful for it.

You don’t have any idea the blessings that your video brings to my life. You are my favorite KZfaqr. Thank you doctor Taylor for all your heart and thoughts on the videos.

Thank you for continuing to make these videos. Your information is invaluable. ❤️

Perfect timing of video. I have my annual exam tomorrow. I have had on and off bleeding for a year. My doctor recommended the IUD at my last visit. This just confirmed it. Thank You!!

Wow !!! What an informative video !!! I mean all of your videos are ! But I was having questions in my head about progesterone and you just clarify them all ! How much easier would it be to only take estrogen and don’t mess with the progesterone at all using an IUD instead !! Thank you so much Dr. Taylor, you are making many women around the world happy and healthy ! I’m forwarding your videos to all my girlfriends. I wish my mom had this education available many years ago, she has osteoporosis and had uterine cancer as well, to think it could have been prevented and her quality of life could have been so much better than what it is now :/ thank you for being the best advocate of women !!

Thank you for sharing! As someone on progesterone sharing her menopause story, I appreciate how open and informative you are. Thank you for helping us all! xoxo

Thank you again, Dr. Taylor for creating incredibly informative, and helpful videos. I’ve learned something new from every single video. With much appreciation, Kimberly 🙏🏻🤗💛

I'm so grateful to you for providing this education. I know I've said that before, but it warrants repeating. Thanks to you I have some guidance on how to manage the rest of my life to make it the best of my life. I'll be scheduling a consultation soon.

I highly respect you and the work you do, Dr. Taylor. And, I understand why it would be that watching all your videos in chronological order, lays the foundation for the next video. That said, THANK GOD I didn’t watch all the videos in order, because one of them SAVED MY LIFE. If I’d have watched them in chronological order, I’d have been dead before I got to it. I do intend to go back and watch them in order at some point. They are, quite literally, life saving. I bet a lot more of us would be hitting the ‘LIKE’ button after watching a video if we didn’t somehow feel shamed for not watching them in order. I do, still, always (always) hit the ‘LIKE’ button. Thank you from all of my heart! ❤

It's so sad that more drs aren't educated in this area. It's real and not to be ignored. Thank you.

I have watched a lot of your videos but it is great to have a refresher! Thanks 😊

Really great video: your logical approach is really appreciated!

Can’t wait for my consultation with you next Monday!!! FYI, her schedule fills up quick. Book early.

I just want to say thank you so much. I have learned so much from you. You are a gift to us all 🤗 I hope to schedule a consultation soon.

Excellent information ! So glad to have found you

Dr. Taylor, thank you from the bottom of my heart for providing us with these videos! Ever since I discovered your channel I feel like I have won the lottery because of how valuable all this education is! I am not in menopause yet but now I am not afraid of it because I know it doesn’t have to be horrible experience, I will get to “manage it My way” 🥰

Love love love your videos Dr Taylor. You are a God send for all of us women. I feel empowered just by watching and listening to your videos. I’ve learned so much. May you be blessed. ❤

Thank you very much. One of your best videos. You make it all clear.

Fantastic video! Thanks for clarifying & simplifying!

What an incredible educational video! Thank you so much for your hard work! All women must watch this video for their knowledge. I appreciate you so much. God bless you!

Interesting! Learned a lot today from you. Thank you 🍃🪴

Dr. Taylor, thank you once again for providing the information I needed to make the best decision for me. After watching this video it is actually a no-brainer, no progesterone for me and here is why: I have been on HRT (oestrogen gel and utrogestan - micronised progesterone) since October 2020. In 2017 I had an ultrasound done as a normal checkup on my health since I was experiencing some perimenopausal symptoms. Fibroids were detected and I was informed it was normal. I have never been pregnant and have never suffered any unusual women's issues so there was never the need to have an ultrasound before that year. Since I started HRT, in perimenopause, I thought it was a good idea to check again on the growth of the fibroids so last April I had another ultrasound. They had grown a bit but not by much in the past 4 years (less than 2 cm each) so my gyno (at the time) did not think any treatment was necessary. I have learned since then by watching your channel that fibroids grow in the presence of oestrogen and I wasn't planning on stopping that anytime soon, if ever. I am 55 and have not stopped having a monthly cycle. I started experience cramping between cycles and lower abdomen pain. So, I decided to see a gyno/surgeon. He examined me and detected a growth of one at 7 cm. That was almost double what had been detected in April. We discussed a hysterectomy and a week later I was in the hospital for a laparoscopic total hysterectomy. I am on the other side by 2 weeks and that is one of the best decisions I have ever made. My doctor was brilliant! My body is recovering nicely and since my ovaries are healthy I decided to keep those. I can't tell you how liberating it is be free from menstrual cycles and progesterone. I'm a new women and I've got a new gynaecologist who respects my opinion and the path I have chosen for "menopause my way" thanks to the knowledge I have gained by being a follower of your channel.

The lawn/grass analogy is great Barbie! 👍🏼🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱

Thank you for this informative video. I have been on Combi-patch for several years and tolerate it well. My OB/GYN & CNP have told me that I need both estrogen & progestin due to still having my uterus. However, I had an endometrial ablation prior to starting HRT. Your video leads me to believe that the progestin is not needed. I also have RA and take methotrexate & leflunomide. When my insurance disallowed Combi-patch I did a trial of an estrogen patch and oral progestin. My liver enzymes spiked badly and my insurance then allowed the Combi-patch again. Insurance has since denied Combi-patch. It is very expensive. Sounds like it is time for a consultation with you. It could save me big money in the long run!

People need to calm down about having to educate themselves on their bodies. Drs don’t know about MANY other things as well- like nutrition, mental health matters, ETC…. At the end of the day it HAS ALWAYS been up to us to advocate for our own health.

This was so helpful and easy to understand. Thank you 🙏

What a grest lesson! Dr. Barbie, you are saving lives!!!!

I AM learning so much! Thank you for this!

Thank you Dr. Taylor☺️This chapter on Progestens came at the perfect time for me. I was prescribed Progesterone 100mg nightly to use with my Estradiol 0.05 mg transdermal patch. I do not have a uterus and was told Progesterone was protective for breast cancer! I have also gained about 7 pounds in the 6 months I’ve been on this regimen, as well as having breast tendernesses. I’m stopping the Progesterone tonight and will discuss with my doctor in May at my next appointment. I have screen shots of the important slides you provided in this video and will have my ammunition in case she disagrees.

I had the Mirena Coil fitted yesterday following a polyectomy op, the information in this video has made me breathe a huge sigh of relief. I will be contacting my GP for estrogen cream today & pressing for a referral to a local Menopause Specialist who will hopefully 🤞agree to testosterone cream and help me get my life back on track. I’ve suffered in silence for far too long. . I can’t tell you how grateful I am to you & the information you share. Your videos really help women to self advocate & navigate the mind field 🤯 that is menopause and poorly informed doctors. I pray that by the time my daughter & granddaughters reach meno there are easier access to specialist support and information.

Thank you for your amazing teaching and information! It is incredibly empowering. Thank you, thank you! ❤

Thank you so much for your informative videos. I would be so grateful for your thoughts on the Finnish study that showed an increase in cardiac events in the first year after stopping hrt, in women under 60. I know you did refer to this in a previous video. I am just about to start hrt aged 55 and am anxious about this risk in case I have to discontinue.

Thank you!!! I had an ablation in 2016 and recently started HRT. My doctor included a synthetic progesterone and never explained that I didn’t needed it for the reasons you’ve mentioned in this video. 🙄 You’ve been my saving grace through my menopausal journey. ❤️

I have been on HRT for 5 years and have just had my 2nd Mirena inserted. Not long after I saw a new menopause specialist to help with migraines here in Melbourne Australia, she has told me I need to take oral progesterone as well as it helps with mood and other things. I knew it didn't make sense when I already have a Mirena but she was going on about the synthetic compared to the natural and should not have had the Mirena put in again. Agh so annoying, thank goodness for you and your education..

Mirena has been my choice for the past 9 years, and recently using Estradiol gel too, wish I’d started that 5 years earlier. Thank you Doc.

Thank U for this very educative video. Ur knowledge and explanation reassured me.

You're such an inspiration...I'm 42yrs of age while scrolling through youtube on treatment after hysterectomy I came across your page and I must say I've learned alot from you in a short space of time. I truly appreciate all your video's. One month ago I had a total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy I was given progynova 2mg (HRT) and was wondering if I needed to use progesterone. Your reply would truly be appreciated thanks.

You are a wonderful teacher! Thank you! ❤

Thank you for this, Dr. Taylor. Progesterone knowledge is power!

THANK YOU. I've watched every single one of your videos and this one really drove the message home. Just to confirm: the IUD dose is enough to keep the lawn trim no matter what the estrogen dose?

Thank you so much for all your hard work, effort and expertise! I truly feel I've learned so much from you! I believe you have changed my life for the better!

I am also going to purchase the book with the sliding chart ASAP!!

Amazing🙌🏻♥️ thank you Professor Barbie

Fantastic video! I had no idea bone loss occurred with some progestins. I absolutely loved this segment of Menopause University!!!!!! XO

Thank you ever soooooo much for all this valuable information.

I love your passion to educate us menopausal women and to encourage intelligent questioning and evidence based science combined with one’s own symptoms. This video confused me when it seemed you were vilifying progesterone and limiting its benefits. Please show your studies and reports of women that confirm that. I have read studies that shows that Progesterone works on our GABA receptors and can help alleviate menopausal insomnia, anxiety and/ or depression. Also there are many studies that show progesterone helps with osteoporosis, and protect brain neurons from dying. It certainly has helped my insomnia. I think that the progesterone and estrogen ratio is important to consider to prevent the yucky side effects you mentioned. I would to learn more to know how to balance the estradiol with the progesterone. Please keep in mind that some women, me included are very sensitive to the somewhat toxic excipients and ingredients that are formulated in the various pharmaceutical prescriptions. That is why women May seek out compounding pharmacies. Wish that pharmaceutical companies would leave out the color dyes, especially red dye 40.

You are a great teacher Dr Taylor 🎉🎉🎉🎉

In one of your earlier videos you recommended the book “Estrogen Matters” to us, by medical oncologist Avrum Bluming, MD and social psychologist Carol Tavris, PhD. (Published in 2018.) In the chapter on progesterone, they write “Although progesterone seems to have become a “new villain” in arguments against HRT, the preponderance of evidence exonerates it. As with estrogen, progesterone is often used as an effective treatment for women with breast cancer and may even improve breast cancer survival rates. Investigators have reported no increased risk of breast cancer among women on HRT when the form of progesterone was oral (natural) micronized progesterone; they found a very small increase in risk - only 2 percent - when the progesterone was a synthetic progestin.” (p. 208) And on p. 236: “When women take estrogen combined with natural, micronized progesterone, no increased risk of breast cancer has thus far been observed in any study.” In your Progesterone Pros & Cons chart in this video you list natural progesterone as “Increases breast cancer risk”. Whom/What should we believe?

Thank you thank you thank you. I see that it's been a year since you posted tjis video, but I needed to hear this infornation now! I believe my gyn will suggest the progesterone iud in the next appointment. We've talked about it already. I'm on week 3 of the combined patches. It's my 1st time on hrt. I really feel the kicking in now. I'm much more informed thanks to you Dr Taylor🙏

Thank you so much for this video, very informative.

I’d love a video for those of us who are not able to take estrogen due to not being able to metabolize it. I had a Dutch test told by 2 drs I’m not eligible for estrogen.

You are truly the best! I so appreciate your videos and clarification on the role of progesterone, progestins and progestogens......so helpful. I"m on HRT but I'm one of those scaredy cats!

OMG, thank you so much for all your valuable information. I start watching your videos last night and I can't stop, there is some much to learn and you make it so easy and didactic that is very easy to remember. I saw my labs and my estrogen is almost zero, my primary MD didn't say anything about it but I am been feeling very sad and depressed along with other symptoms that scream loud and clear that something is wrong. I will look for gynecology to help me with this asap. Thanks so much again.

This is the first time in my life that I can understand what I went through menopause.I am know 62 and I live in Spain they Social Security dos not give you anything. But know I would like to found a doctor that understand all this information. Thankyou I have only seen 2 videos and you make it sound so easy to understand. Do You think it is todo late for me? Once again thankyou.Love from Spain.❤

Dr. B, what an amazing video! Thanks to your wonderful education, when I began HRT over a year ago, I asked for the progesterone component of my HRT to be taken vaginally. I did not want it coursing through my bloodstream and producing the yucky side effects as well as disease risks. The gynecologist refused to give me the progesterone IUD, claiming the dosage of progesterone was much higher than I needed. I insisted that I wanted the progesterone limited to my uterus, and was told to insert the progesterone pill (200 mg), twice a week, into my vagina. Thank you, Barbie!

Omg I’m so happy and upset 😭 I’ve been on hrt for 2 years with progesterone pills but I had an ablation 5 years ago 😭 Thank you for this video I’ve gained 10 pounds in these 2 years.. I just can’t believe I was put on progesterone 🤦🏼‍♀️ how long will it take to get out of my system? Thank you for what you do 🙏🏻

Hi!! Loving your wonderful educational videos!! I have a moderna iud, I’m 46 and was feeling very up and down emotionally and erratic periods (the iud has helped!!) So my dr put me on progesterone. But after I started taking it I couldn’t sleep well and was tired during the day. I emailed my dr but in the meantime I stopped taking . I am thinking I can just hold off on progesterone until I need to take estrogen ?! I am sleeping better now I’m not taking progesterone

Thank you for all the information. I had an uterine ablation about 13 years ago but have been taking progesterone since I started HRT. I will definitely remind my GYN of this and try to get off the progesterone. I will not have to add something to my body that may not be needed, save money, and won't need to remember to take something.

Fantastic information , unfortunately my doctor could not fit the IUD which she did try. So I have to stick with the patches. You look beautiful x

So glad to hear about progesterone. I had a surgical menopause, no ovaries or uterus, and my BHRT doctor keeps pushing progesterone at night. I have tried it. My sister loves it. I hate it. I feel puffy, breasts get full, and I I get depressed.

With all that we know I am fascinated at age 69 that I can’t find a doctor that will prescribe any estrogen or HRT therapy for me. Such a Simple thing we give such great leave to me

This was so very interesting, so much so I am watching it twice!! I love your commonsense approach in your videos. One question..why do other doctors say they don't like an oral form of estrogen because it is processed through the liver? They want you to use a patch etc..is estrogen really hard/bad for your liver?

I am an unfortunate woman who could not handle the iud. Very sensitive to progesterone and it caused horrible side effects. Had to have it removed immediately The next day. Wish is would of worked for me.😔

75 years old had some severe dryness and sleeping problems. Dr put me on estradiol and progesterone. I think I need something to increase desire.

Lol… that’s exactly what I was thinking… how can I get rid of my uterus !!! You are just amazing, dr Taylor !!!!

DO YOU HAVE LAB for a blood work panel , or can you recomend one . That focuses on individual client s and then you can use , for your recommendations for each of us ?

Hi Taylor, your videos are so informative and you were doing such a great service to womankind I did want to ask you regarding sequential progesterone, which mimics the natural cycle . I have read articles indicating that taking progesterone that would mimic progesterone release with your natural cycle is most natural and recommended to prevent disease. I have not seen any videos or information regarding sequential progesterone administration. What is your opinion on that? Would you be able to maybe make a video on it?

Too late I freaked out, yesterday. But I made up my mind to look at the long term benefits. Thats for confirmation. ❤

Thank you so much for this video Barbie! A few months ago, I asked my doctor why I was on progesterone (with my estrogen) when I’ve had a uterine ablation. I told her I had done my research and didn’t think I needed the P after having the ablation. She said she still likes to have her patients on P in case a part of the uterine lining has not been ablated. (?) anyway, I told her in that case that I would rather have the Progesterone IUD, which I’ll be getting at the end of this month. This video came at the perfect time to reassure me that I’m making the best choice. Thank you again!❤️

Hi Dr. Taylor, You are AMAZING! I wish all doctors could explain as clearly as you do. I am postmenopausal at 48 and started using HRT, a "continuous regime" of .05 estradiol patch, and 100 mg of micronized progestin daily. After a few months of taking it, my period came back and my doctor was alarmed I had a biopsy test and all was good. But because of my continuous period(very light, like brown spotting), my doctor wants me to stop my HRT. I am in panic mode! and of course, I checked your channel. Good Lord, thank you for all you do. I will ask him about the IUD.

Oh my goodness…I had no idea since I had a uterine ablation that I could essentially treat the HRT like I don't have a uterus. My provider has me on much more progesterone than estrogen and I have gained even more weight…I was taking it because I was so worried about the sleep issues, but if the estrogen will help that I'm thinking I need to take less progesterone and just increase the estrogen. Currently taking bio identical creams…this has been a frustrating experience getting accurate information….thank you for the videos! I did start watching from the beginning, but have watched these last couple out of order and thankful I did!

Thank you !!!! on continus regimen. I had to explain to my Dr because I have endometriosis, it was getting worse on the cycle regimen. Now suffering the side effects of progesterone 😂 I'll ask for other options. But where I am the options are limited sadly. Love your videos, I greatly appreciate all you do for us! ❤❤❤

After menopause I took progesterone 100mg tab and a vag estradiol for approximately 5 years I finally quit, due to the side effects, and also when I took a saliva test it showed that my progesterone level was through the roof. So for those reasons, I quit cold turkey. After your presentation I'm more confused as to what is safer.

Very interesting videos as always you do. Thanks you very much ! Unfortunately, no everyone is cadidate for IUD as it's not exempt of other unwanted side effects. In some countries the encapsulated natural progesterone is vaginally administrated in second place. However, it's not tolerate for many women after 12 to 17 d. The tragedy is that laboratories don't offer more therapeutic options for the administration of progestogens vaginally despite the advantages that it can bring. The health women of middle age is totally neglected, in my opinion. Take care and once again, thank you so much 💖

I am so happy to see this review today. I can't convince my gynecologist to use the progesterone only IUD for me. I still have my uterus so I use an estrogen patch and 100mgs of progesterone capsule for 12 days. I'm so bloated and moody and miserable those 12 days. I think she's a great OBGYN but I think I need a doc who specializes in menopause. Thanks again for all the great info.

I’m experiencing bloating, water retention, the feeling I got when I was just about to start my period and feeling “blah” with oral micronized progesterone. The doc suspected my low mood was due to the synthetic progestin component of the Combipatch, so I switched to estrogen patch and OMP. It’s been a month..I hope it levels out so I don’t feel this way forever.

I have had an endometrial ablation and just started HRt. My Dr. prescribed both estrogen and progesterone for menopausal symptoms. You have stated that I don't have to take the progesterone. Yay!!! My internet search says I should take it but I am having unwanted side effects (bloating). Can I just stop completely withe the progesterone pills and continue the estrogen pills? Thank you! Love your videos! Your info makes sense to me.

I would love to read the papers that discuss the risks of progesterone increasing breast and ovarian cancer risk. Can you point me in the direction of the studies?

I need a consultation and wanted to find out if the HSA is acceptable form of payment?

Progesterone….the chameleon hormone….I’ll never forget the episode when Barbie used a real live chameleon prop! Go Barbie 😍

You read my mind... I was just wondering why didn't I move this uterus on years ago 🤔. You look Sooooo beautiful today Dr Barbie and thank you once again. 💚💚💚

I have been taking HRT since September 1st, had some some bleeding every 2-3 weeks until February 14 when I had 1 spot. Before I started the doctor said that some bleeding may happen (indeed happened) for the first 6 months. Just 2 weeks before the 6th month was the last small spot (February 14), should I need a biopsy to see if there is a change in the uterus? Thanks for your advice.

Good video

Dr John Lee did a extensive study and found natural progesterone does in fact help with bone loss. His book shows the study. Can you show us your study that shows natural progesterone that doesn't help with bone loss? It would be beneficial to show us that study. Thank you!

Thank you so much for making all of these wonderful videos for women. You're really helping so many women! I understand our hormone levels change throughout life, and that our needs change as well, so at times we need to re-evaluate and adjust our doses. I'm 52 and entering menopause. I was recently diagnosed with osteopenia, and worse, I recently began dropping an excessive amount of hair, implying my estrogen levels plummeted. So, I increased my dose of estrogen, from 1mg estradiol (pill), to 1.5mg. The excessive hair loss slowed slightly, but did not stop, so, I increased it again to 2mg of estradiol. Within 2 days, the hair shedding lessened and became normal. However, now I am feeling depressed, tired and anxious. Should I drop the estrogen back to 1.5mg, or should I increase my medroxyprogesterone from 2.5mg to 5mg? Also, I'm hoping you might do a video on how to recognize when doseages need to be adjusted, and how to adjust them. For instance, if we need more Estrogen, do we also need more Progesterone at the same time?

My Doctor told me that he wasn't going to put me on HRT because it leads to an increased risk of breast cancer and uterine cancer. He told me that my estrogen was .90 and my progesterone was .5. I'm 55 years old.

A famous dermatologist just shared how devices such as IUD may be a reason why women get melasma which is a troublesome skin situation on their faces as well as how estrogen can also cause it especially true for women during their pregnancy. But I remember you sharing how IUD such as Mirena produces progesterone only locally in the uterus. How strange to hear that it can actually travel to other parts of the body.

hahaha, well, yes, you are correct that I am asking why not just have a hysterectomy at menopauze to avoid uterine-cancer, breast-cancer, your uterus sits on your blather so when taken away less risk of incontinence etc etc They can do the procedure via your vagina and you don't need full anesthesia that way I think. I had it suggested years ago but I then refused,..boy, do I regret it now. This video again had SO much info, things about progesterone nobody ever told us...I just think doctors and gynaecologists are not sufficicently educated about it all which is kind of...scary, when you think about it! Can't wait for the next video and my visit to my obgyn end of march. The white/cream earrings contrast beautifully with your dark hair btw :-) (56 and taking continuous regimen)

Ohhhhh. I need to hear more on th breast cancer risk.

After asking my primary caregiver, my urogynecologist, my cardiologist, and my new primary caregiver to put me on HRT, today I got an appointment with my gyn who told me that she would put me on a combination estrogen and progesterone patch, but refused to put me on an estrogen patch with a progesterone IUD because she said there has been no finding that it's approved for postmenopausal HRT. :(

I have followed you for a long time, but this video left me feeling lost. Your chart suggests any progestogen except the IUD negates some of estrogens protective benefits. Also, what is your opinion on the new studies that suggest hormones from progestin IUD's do, in fact, travel systemically?

A study out of Germany from a couple years ago suggests the hormonal IUD has systemic effects. What are your thoughts about this Dr. Taylor?

I am SO CONFUSED! My dr. says taking unopposed estrogen is a death sentence. (I had a partial hysterectomy) She says I am at higher risk of getting breast cancer with estrogen alone. Why can't all these doctors get on the same page!

Dr. Barbie, when a uterus is removed during a hysterectomy , does the surgeon have to do anything reconstructive wise to replace it?

I wish you had the combo patch in this .

I had bad experiences with Mirena 20 years ago. That's why I'm cautious with Mirena etc. The following regimen works best for me: 15 days of Utrogestan capsules (natural progesteron) vaginally four times a year. First of all, I only bled four times a year. Secondly, breast sensitivity is less, as if I had swallowed these capsules every 15 days. I would like to hear Ms. Taylor's opinion.

Wow this was so interesting from what I hear many GYN drs., prescribe progesterone for sleep. Including mine. She is not in favor of HRT but progesterone she was fine with to help me sleep. Now we find out that progesterone rises our cholesterol and ldl , just lovely. Thank you for another informative video.

I'm on transdermal progesterone (only) - post menopausal. Switching to oral because I was influenced LOL, but now finding you and watching this video...have you done any followup videos that discuss vaginal (not IUD) progesterone? Because now I'm worried. Thank you Dr. Taylor, great resources!!

I read an article from Britain that suggested that progesterone tablets could be inserted vaginally, rather than taken orally, to avoid the "whole body" effect of the progesterone. Kind of like the estrogen cream to prevent atrophy, where the estrogen is largely confined to the vagina. I'm very interested in your thoughts on this, and thank you so much.
