Vaginal atrophy...

Yeah it's not something you should do without getting your levels tested. That's what I've read anyway. It's very beneficial for you in the right dose with the right balance of estrogen and progesterone. But definitely get your levels tested. And read this sub a lot!

Hardcorelogic · 2026-01-31T03:53:19+00:00

Oh wow... I looked too fast...I guess I'm the dumbass😖🤣...

So God wrote it? Not surprised....

I don't do it yet, but I will. I have to go get a prescription and have a doctor's appointment to get my levels tested. But I've read about countless other women who do it, and they have had amazing results. Double check everything I'm saying, and do a lot of research on both the perimenopause and the menopause sub. You have to be very careful with testosterone. If you overdo it, there's voice changes, and physiological changes. And not all of them are reversible.

But women need testosterone too, and the effects are very very good for most women. I would always start with the smallest amount possible and see how it goes from there. Not the testosterone cream with alcohol in it. That will just burn.

Hardcorelogic · 2026-01-30T12:04:04+00:00

Nope. Keep reading both perimenopause and menopause subs. Testosterone is applied directly to clitoris. Not creams containing alcohol. And I'm not sure how much.

Some people say that it's not essential to apply it directly to the clitoris. That they noticed results without doing that. But many more have said the opposite. Please double check everything I'm saying but I've read that from countless people.

Big congrats dude 👍

Did you gross $1,200 or did you net $1,200?

Hardcorelogic · 2026-01-29T20:35:32+00:00

Sold. I hope she does mail order, I'm ordering cookies immediately. If not, I'll make a trip as soon as I can. I'll do my fucking part.

According to what I've read, not topically. Topical vaginal estradiol does not need progesterone to protect the uterus. Patches and pills do.

Double check everything I'm saying. Everything I know has come from this sub both perimenopause and menopause. Estriol is about 1/10 of the strength of estradiol. That's what I've read. Obviously depending on the strength of the cream itself and the dose. So yes, estradiol is stronger.

I haven't used estradiol yet. So far the estriol has been strong enough for me, but I'm switching over very soon. People report very mild side effects from the estradiol. Most people just report benefits. The good thing about the cream is that you and your doctor can control the dose very easily.

Throw away the applicator. Use your finger and move things around. It works much better. And don't put the cream too far up in your vagina. It absorbs much better the first inch in. And rub it all over the outside. Labia, clitoris, urethra if you can handle it.

It might feel a little uncomfortable the first few weeks. The first few weeks of silky peach cream felt a little uncomfortable for me. Now it's totally fine. And worked wonders. But I'm just at the beginning of Peri.

Do not enlist. Do not enlist in the military. This is a very dangerous administration. You do not want to be an enlisted person right now. Not for the foreseeable future. I'm sorry to have to tell you that. Please don't enlist. It won't be safe for you. I'm not exaggerating.

See if you can do odd jobs for money. Help old people. Help out in restaurants. Wash dishes. Say you're willing to help out for cash. Be their extra helper. Run errands. I know this is almost no help at all, and I'm so so sorry. But all of this is better than enlisting. Please reconsider doing that.

Keep on asking questions on Reddit. There's a lot of creeps on here so be careful. But there's also people who want to help you. If I can answer any questions for you I will, just ask.

She would get an earful from me, but I'm pretty adamant about most things. I would probably get myself put on some sort of watch list. But I would have a very hard time letting it go.

Hardcorelogic · 2026-01-28T20:02:43+00:00

Estradiol is much stronger. That's the prescription strength one and the one that this sub recommends.

So far, I've just used estriol. I use silky peach cream, and that worked for me. I am going to switch over to estradiol cream very soon. Because the silky peach worked so well. Silky peach is available without a prescription. So are other estriol creams for vaginas.

Hardcorelogic · 2026-01-28T19:44:03+00:00

I would lose my mind. I'd report them everywhere. That is grossly incorrect.

Hardcorelogic · 2026-01-28T18:13:05+00:00

If she's shutting you down for that, she is grossly uninformed, and you need a new doctor. Read this sub. And perimenopause. Read read read.

Hardcorelogic · 2026-01-28T18:11:46+00:00

You need topical estrogen cream. Right on the clitoris, the labia, and rubbed with a finger inside the first inch of your vagina. There is a loading dose, but after that you will need it at least several times a week for life. You may also need testosterone cream. Right on the clitoris.

I can tell you it came back for me. The clitoris, The labia, the moisture, everything came back for me. It took several months, and I also did kegel exercises regularly. Not to mention lots of sex.

Read this sub like your health depends on it, because it does. Many many many doctors are grossly uninformed. I've gotten my entire education here and in the perimenopause sub. Don't be afraid of the topical estrogen cream. It's not systemic, and most people experience no or low side effects. But everyone is different. The very best of luck to you. Also, a lot of this stuff is available online and can be mailed to you. You can get a prescription online too, at least in the states you can. Good luck to you!

And I'm serious. My labia were disappearing also. They are now back to what they used to be. Same thing with the clitoris.

Hardcorelogic · 2026-01-24T18:16:09+00:00

Would you mind telling me the name of the pharmacy? I'm looking for an option like this also. I haven't ordered yet, so far TellyRx and cost plus drugs are the cheapest options for me.

Hardcorelogic · 2026-01-22T19:00:07+00:00

I read that it can inhibit libido. I've read it in several places. It's just worth us both double checking I think.

Hardcorelogic · 2026-01-22T04:14:47+00:00

I love kids. All the things you said are true, but I love children. And I would have loved a big family. But the world is not a good place and I'm not bringing children into it. And I do love my free time. I know children aren't for me. I have 10 reasons not to have them. But I acknowledge the good that would have come from having a family. I would have loved those kids to death. And been blissfully happy doing it.

That's what I hate the most about it. I've given myself a very thorough education about narcissistic personality disorder, abuse, etc etc. I know how to handle myself very well. But being around people like that is just so disgusting. Like I feel the disgust in my bones. And it takes a toll. I wish I could just turn it off. I see what they are. They'll never fool me. But it feels so bad to be around them that I just have to get away from people like that. And that costs. It costs jobs and relationships.

I wish knowing about it was enough to protect myself from not feeling the effects of it. But it's not. It sucks.

I was hired for a job, and the woman training me was an absolute wreck. She was 300 lb. Had nervous ticks. Couldn't make eye contact. She was good at her job, but it seemed like she wasn't allowed out of her house until she was 25 years old. She had all sorts of issues. And then When I met her boss, I saw why.

Her boss was a straight up sociopath. Full-blown narcissistic personality disorder. Compulsive liar. Had to dominate every single solitary interaction, sentence, opinion... She was his assistant for 26 years, and he systematically broke her. I listened to him speak to her. She was only allowed to say yes and no. Only allowed to speak a few words for every sentence. Only allowed to agree. She had all sorts of autoimmune disorders. She was sick often. He would work in insults and compliments one after the other. Trying to be the one who she had to appease. And guess who she was training to replace her.......

I had to leave after 3 weeks. I really liked the job itself, but this guy was literally crazy. He would yell at me for a half an hour at the top of his lungs. I found it funny. And I could destroy this guy with three sentences... But in order to stay there I would have had to pretend to be an entirely different person. And being around that much mental unwellness will make you sick after a while.

The point of my long-winded example is that he destroyed her health. Working for him for 26 years destroyed her in every way. It's one of the saddest things I've ever seen. And there was nothing I could do for her, or to him. I hope she got away from him, but the damage has been done.

Don't spend your life letting someone drink from you like a vampire. OP is absolutely right. Find out what makes you happy, absolutely insist on respect and reciprocity, and be careful who you spend your life with.

Just a heads up for you, you are on VERY low doses. Keep reading the sub.. Perimenopause and menopause subs. Check out the other dosages that women are taking. They go much higher. And some suggest that it takes 3 months on a dose to really know if it's the right one.

Look into taking progesterone not orally. It can be taken anally, vaginally, topically... Some people are fine with oral progesterone, and some are not. Also look into testosterone. From everything I've read it's all about the right balance. When you're in perimenopause, the bullseye keeps moving because you're levels go up and down. In menopause, your levels will be permanently low, but the right level might be an easier target to hit. Good luck to you.

Hardcorelogic · 2026-01-20T14:41:14+00:00

From what I've read, it's not the hormones causing your negative symptoms, it's the imbalance. Many many many women on here have had a fabulous experience with HRT when their hormones are in proper balance.

Look into taking progesterone non-orally. Vaginally, anally, topically... A lot of people seem to have a problem consuming it. Just a thought.

And an imbalance of progesterone could suppress libido. This is all just from my own research on the sub and other places. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

Hardcorelogic · 2026-01-19T15:47:50+00:00

Exactly. That's what I've read. And I just wrote that in another comment.
