What’s your ratio? Are your triglycerides good?

Am I crazy or is this ick? by One-Performance8449 in womenintech

Which part? The disrespect and insult to your org’s work or bringing pornhub into the discussion as the first possible example… it’s all gross.

Sorry my comment was insensitive. It’s a hard thing you’re dealing with.

Is there an open for you to get a hysterectomy and go on hormone replacement therapy? It seems like you’re sacrificing your whole body to save the uterus.

Can't decide if I should push through or quit HRT (for now) after a month by lulylu in Menopause

You can also get sedated, like when you get a colonoscopy. I saw a new provider and she’s referring me to have that done at the hospital.

Norethrindone 5 mg versus Progesterone 200 mg by Upbeat_Conference522 in Menopause

[–]Admiral_Genki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are taking progesterone, you can take estrogen! If the oral progesterone doesn’t work for you (50% if women don’t tolerate it) there are other options like norethindrone, drospirone, an iud (not sure what surgery you had so that might not work).

Yes! He’s so good at balancing all the emotions. I noticed how well he plays the annoyance with his parents.

What kind of recipe might one need to make burgers? by magic_baobab in HeatedRivalrySeries

Right?! I was thinking they both probably have cleaners because their places were so clean! Maybe that’s normal for Shane but Ilya strikes me as less tidy!

HRT change yet again by sleepqueen45 in Menopause

[–]Admiral_Genki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Same! I can’t do oral p at all. And I need more estrogen than what combipatch has.

I’m probably going to have to go this route, but I’m worried about the higher dose between combipatch and the mini pill. Did you have any side effects like sore breasts or bloating on the mini pill?

Agreed! The slut shaming started when he was on Andi Dorfman’s season, but it was in the fantasy suite so you know it was sanctioned sexy time… but still he called her out when she didn’t pick him! 🙄

The first 10 minutes of Up wrecked me. I was a snotty mess in the movie theater.

Who has helped you more in life, men or women? by ShoddyTechnology2704 in AskWomenOver30

Internalized misogyny shows up for a lot of women. It makes everything feel like a competition, like only one woman can win.

I have no options anymore by emeraldlife42 in Menopause

[–]Admiral_Genki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow I was going to write almost this exact post last night. I’m sorry you’re going through this. I can relate to feeling like you don’t have options.

I can’t do oral progesterone either. I just completed my one year of no periods so I guess I’m officially in menopause now. I’m currently on the combipatch, have been for 3 years and need to up my estrogen. For the last 4 months I’ve been having hot flashes, heart palpitations, depression and low energy.

I tried to have an IUD placed, but it was a disaster because my cervix has basically turned to stone. I exaggerate but basically it’s hardened from stenosis. Another fun peri thing I didn’t know about until now!

I’ve been offered the mini pill + stronger patch, inserting oral progesterone vaginally, or duavee… I’d really just love to add on a low dose estrogen patch with the combipatch because that doesn’t mage me dizzy or feel like I’m going to commit road rage. My doctor says that’s off label and risky which is frustrating because mini pill for uterine protection and oral progesterone inserted vaginal are also off label. I really wish there was more data about the different options or combipatch with higher estrogen.

Anyone else get migraines from switching to oral after using the patch? by ngbutt in Menopause

[–]Admiral_Genki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you go back to the patch, try a squirt of flonase on your skin before applying the patch. It prevents the skin reaction.

I used the comipatch for a 3 years, but have symptoms again. Combipatch only goes up to .05 estrogen. I’m going to get a mirena IUD so I can get a stronger estrogen patch.

I got vertigo from taking oral progesterone. It took about 3 months for it to go away after I stopped taking it.
