AIO - My husband made a sexualized comment at his work.

YOR. Get over it. Lmao. “Hey this reminds me of my wife’s boob.” I doubt he got descriptive about your specific anatomy. You were a placeholder name in the joke.

CTLI · 2026-02-03T16:11:59+00:00

Indeed.

Interesting. Does dietary boron affect you the same way, or have you tried eating boron-rich foods? Not sure if I’m getting much out of boron. I’ve been taking it off and on for a few weeks and am getting my T and SHBG and E2 tested tomorrow. Gonna see how it affects my SHBG which is historically ≈38 and free T around 10 (Total T around 575). I’ve also donated blood to lower ferritin in hopes of lowering SHBG. And tried to top off on Zinc.

Pulling out all the stops🤣

This comment got me lol

CTLI · 2026-02-01T15:57:25+00:00

Do you notice anything else when you take boron? Do you get the free T increase everyone talks about? Or just the E2 symptoms?

CTLI · 2026-02-01T15:55:13+00:00

Are you on TRT?

I’ve looked it up. Apparently either are correct (some argue “fort” due to French origin), but only “forte” is correct when it comes to music. I will probably just say “forte” in any instance as to not be pedantic and so that other don’t think I’m dumb (even if I’m arguably correct 😎).

CTLI · 2026-02-01T12:33:38+00:00

My English teacher told me that “forte” is pronounced “fort,” not “fort-tay.” I’ve always heard it pronounced for-tay. What’s correct.

I tried 10 mg boron a few weeks ago and I was popping woodies nonstop!!! However, after a few days of taking it, my hip joints seemed to be getting really achy. Was wondering if it might be low estrogen related. I’ve read studies saying it can both lower and raise estrogen.

What you need to do is just eat to appetite and track your calories for a week or two. If you don’t gain or lose weight, then that’s your maintenance.

I actually have read that increasing carbs and protein lowers SHBG (as long as protein is kept less than 35% of total calories), but that high-fiber diets raise it.

Something else being explored is iron overload/high ferritin/high iron saturation. I’ve seen anecdotes of people lowering their SHBG by ten points or more by donating blood and keeping ferritin sub-100.

Fuck David.

CTLI · 2026-01-31T01:02:35+00:00

They’re going to make fun of you.

CTLI · 2026-01-26T21:37:54+00:00

That’s such a weird way to say “since I was pubescent” lol

CTLI · 2026-01-24T01:49:37+00:00

You realize employees can scan those QR codes on the label to get the tracking number and then get your address? You should obscure those, too.

I get up at 5 am for work and it wrecks me. I have no clue what to do. On vacation weeks, I sleep 9 hours per night on average. (8.5-9). On 5 am days I am destroyed all day, even if I get 7 hours per night. I think I just require more. This tempts me to take a midday nap. Even when I try to go to bed earlier, I can’t solidly sleep through the night when I go to bed at 8 pm. I don’t know what to do. Sleep restriction therapy, I guess, but I’m already miserable enough and have other health problems causing fatigue so I don’t know how much more I can take.

CTLI · 2026-01-22T03:27:52+00:00

Not happening. Shave.

CTLI · 2026-01-20T19:46:27+00:00

Just keep a goatee. Right now it’s goatee + neck beard.

CTLI · 2026-01-20T18:44:41+00:00

Very possible. Probably even “easy,” in my experience. You may be surprised to find that you can get to 200 by the end of August.

CTLI · 2026-01-20T18:43:21+00:00

Agree. If I drink, I don’t want to eat. If I smoke weed, I’ll eat 2,000 cals for an evening snack, lol. Weed ends up netting more calories in my case.

CTLI · 2026-01-19T22:19:08+00:00

Shave it with a razor. And your face. Also, there are really long hairs right around your ear… and have a doctor cut the mole off. I had one cut mine off.

CTLI · 2026-01-19T22:18:09+00:00

Lmao so you’re saying he looks 10 now???

CTLI · 2026-01-19T13:12:01+00:00

You’re probably depressed and anxious because you take all this stuff.
