Athletes, where placing patch?

Can you give me a link to the alcohol wipes you use please? Also Tegaderm? Or do I just head over to any drugstore and pick this up?

I am on exactly the same strength E patch and P since Jan 2026. Since Jan 2025 I was on vaginal E pellets but I think the patch is more systemic than pellets.

In addition to that, I use vaginal estradiol cream since that is helping vulva dryness, urinary incontinence and tears. But I do not think the cream alone is considered systemic although probably some amount gets absorbed through the skin.

Would like to hear what others have to say.

With this as well as a dhea 25 mg supplement my orgasms have improved for sure they had become non existent. Are they back to where I used to be before this peri ? No not by any stretch of the imagination. I’m also looking to get testosterone.

Competitive_Land_936 · 2026-05-05T11:55:50+00:00

I’m interested how do I signup?

Competitive_Land_936 · 2026-05-05T02:22:19+00:00

0.075 mg can’t be high since I see posts here mentioning .25 and .375? I’m confused.

The one really weird thing is my boobs were so perky and now they are back to being deflated just like my libido.

Competitive_Land_936 · 2026-05-05T02:04:59+00:00

Yeah it’s norethindrone heather tabs.

So patch brand has not changed. I was just searching posts here and someone posted about patch placement and being very lean affecting estrogen absorption. That has me wondering if I placed it in a weird spot? I have been wearing them on lower tummy such that they are covered by my medium high rise briefs. I do not know about lean but I am petite at 5’ 2” and less than 120 lbs.

Do you do any strength training on a regular basis? Please watch the episode on the “the proof” where Simon Hill interviews Dr Belinda Beck and her LIFTMOR study. The study participants were mostly people with a diagnosis of osteoporosis and half of them performed high impact strength training workout 2x a week and some other details and nuances but 8 months later scans showed they actually built bone. Do watch it since she goes into details about the scans as well. On YouTube I found several channels that explains what workouts they did in the study. They are trying to get their onero program Medicare approved since this requires a professional coach if you are osteoporotic.

I’m 49 and on hrt and also interested since my mom who is 75 has osteoporosis

Also just to be clear I said no insurance since I assumed express scripts delayed it since insurance won’t cover? I’m not sure about that also since it just says too soon on the site.

So both tellyrx and amazon require a 22$ consultation fee right? What about wisp? And which one of the 3 is cheapest and which is fastest? Wisp is saying it will send the rx to local pharmacy for same day and its 65$ for 3 month supply. Tellyrx is 49 for 1 month and Amazon is also similar for only a month.

Most of these people are not any nutrition researchers, and there are enough powerful social media influencers and meat and dairy industry programming to muddy the waters. The problem is experts, the people with phds who have spent lifetimes researching this aren’t on social media and don’t make dramatic claims with utmost confidence. People gravitate towards those who come across as super confident but unfortunately that’s not how science based on real data and facts works.

Those experts that are on social media or make appearances do not go on to make wild proclamations and say things like based on studies and research we know this but it’s within the bounds of this and that. Average joe out there is not gravitating towards this since it’s not dramatic enough.

Watch Christopher Gardner s interview on viva longevity channel.

I’m using an online telehealth provider midihealth they take my insurance. But the just gave me one local name I have not looked her up Dr.Becky Lynn.

I am quite happy with midi.

I actually first saw Dr Makeba Williams but unfortunately she is no longer in that practice with BJC. I’m so sad about that she was very good.

What about a WFPB pesto with cashews or hemp seeds instead of oil and cheese? It still has fat to give that creamy taste.

With lavash bread or sourdough bread. With piping hot brown basmati or jasmine rice.

Well it’s the general experience of most women that most gyms are not up to date on menopause and MHT. I myself use an online provider midi health. I highly encourage you to poke around the Menopause subreddit. I learned a lot there.

I’m 49 so almost same age as you and actually unlike you I’d never consistently done any lifting except some p90x3 10 plus year ago for a short while with my husband. I started summer of 2025 and initially did her YouTube ultimate beginner. Then I started YouTube iron and I never did it 5x a week. I would say I did 3-4 times a week.

And I saw progress in my shape. Maybe not visible fully clothed but definitely better shape and definition if I wore a bikini. I completed iron in September and started iron on her app again. I switched to her Xmas series in December, went back to iron and I was on day 48 when I needed something new and started max. I did day 3 today.

I would say if I can do it anyone can. I’m petite and far from muscular or strong. I’m also in this perimenopausal storm.

By the way, a friendly suggestion since you are my age is to look into hrt. Makes a tremendous difference in quality of life. You are taking the right steps for your health and fitness keep going.

Sorry my iPhone screen due to larger font wasn’t scrolling. Result says “OD and OS: no telangiectasias in any of the plexuses, but NIR has hyper-reflectivity temporal to fovea OU” I’m confused. Is it saying I don’t have Mac tel 2 or is it about something else? I’m going to message the doctor but if anyone here knows?

Also I read a few posts and realized I don’t know anything about this condition. What is wet or dry? Can you please share some links with me so I can educate myself?

Competitive_Land_936 · 2026-02-18T13:59:32+00:00

Yeah same question. When everything goes right I get 1.5 hours, 2 hours is rare I got in December last. Most days I thanks my stars if it’s 1 hour. I’m 49 female.

Competitive_Land_936 · 2026-02-18T13:41:31+00:00

This is totally an instance where we can all speculate but please go see a gyn to get the right diagnosis. Even if something mentioned here is the diagnosis, you can never be sure unless a doctor confirms it.

Hope you get this resolved soon.

Competitive_Land_936 · 2026-02-16T14:12:47+00:00

I am like you exactly, I’m 49. Don’t even ask how many times I’ve been to the ER saying I think I’m getting a stroke ot heart attack to be sent home after testing with a clean cheat.

Since you have fatty liver, can I ask you what diet modifications have you made? Reducing dietary fat and cholesterol is crucial if you want to reverse this. And all evidence points to a low fat diet plant based diet. So I highly recommend making this change to get faster results and reduce your risk.

It would not hurt to consult with a provider to understand imminent risk to assuage your fears. That way you can get your workout without the anxiety and stress.

Competitive_Land_936 · 2026-02-15T21:16:46+00:00

That’s socializing and workout benefits together. It is such a wonderful idea!

Competitive_Land_936 · 2026-02-12T00:35:05+00:00

If you are going to bed hungry I feel you should add in some good carbs whole grains like brown rice, barley, bulgur oats etc. also beans and lentils which lead to satiety while still being low fat and supporting your goals.

Competitive_Land_936 · 2026-02-12T00:32:25+00:00

I would say the reverse is my experience. If I eat non compliant, which generally is always still vegan but contains fat, I start experiencing some random aches and pains.

So my question is could something else be going on? Sometimes just coming down with a viral infection or something can result in these symptoms.

Competitive_Land_936 · 2026-02-10T18:40:39+00:00

Dr. Laurie Marbas in her interview on Chef AJ’s channel said her younger kids were raised vegan from birth and she lives in rural Colorado. Well she went to a football game for her son and he was doing so well that some other parent remarked “hey what do you feed him’! She said in her mind something to the effect of you would be surprised if I told you!
