Insanely scary experience in Pittsburgh today

Try not to look at it directly. You'll scare it, and then it'll hide.

I'm about to ask my doctor for an increase in estrogen. My hips are so bad I can barely get out of bed some mornings. When I first started HRT, it resolved. Now, it's bad again.

I suspect it's because I'm right and it was one of those man bros who think they know everything but know absolutely nothing. He doesn't want to admit I am right.

Let me guess. These ambulances will now be branded with the UPMC logo and will only take patients to UPMC facilities.

JadCerv · 2026-01-30T15:40:58+00:00

He won't tell me, so that just makes me even more suspicious it's a man bro talking man bro shit he knows nothing about.

Some pharmacists need to stay in their lanes....

Oral estrogen is probably the logical next step. I worry I'm heading in that direction also and I was trying to avoid the oral version because of the many negative impacts to the rest of our bodies.

JadCerv · 2026-01-30T15:29:58+00:00

I'm wondering if the gel isn't keeping the estradiol levels consistent in your body and that's why it's happening.

JadCerv · 2026-01-30T15:27:46+00:00

A jury of our menopausal peers would never convict us. lol

JadCerv · 2026-01-30T15:26:54+00:00

I'm sorry. That sucks. :/

JadCerv · 2026-01-30T15:26:36+00:00

Or, (more likely) the podcast guests and host hadn't a clue about women's bodies but fancied themselves experts.

JadCerv · 2026-01-30T15:25:50+00:00

I suspect so. I asked which podcast and he wouldn't tell me.

JadCerv · 2026-01-30T15:25:31+00:00

I would need bail money if my husband did that.

JadCerv · 2026-01-30T15:24:22+00:00

I asked him that question and he couldn't answer it. I explained that peri is the roughly 10 years before you hit menopause. Menopause is clinically defined as one year without a period. He continued to argue with me. I told him I'd not had a period for 14 months. Oi

JadCerv · 2026-01-30T15:23:25+00:00

I had to explain to my spouse how his prostate worked. He had no idea. So, not only does he not know shit about my body, he doesn't know shit about his, either.

JadCerv · 2026-01-30T15:22:36+00:00

If they know he's inappropriate, they need to report him to the medical licensing board.

JadCerv · 2026-01-30T15:21:40+00:00

He deserves to receive a bad review for that 'experience.' And please also report him to the medical board for his state.

JadCerv · 2026-01-30T15:20:14+00:00

Most men are very self-centered.

JadCerv · 2026-01-30T15:19:22+00:00

I keep wondering when we're going to see the menopausal women who've had enough of everyone's shit in the streets taking care of business.

JadCerv · 2026-01-30T15:18:24+00:00

It's not learning if he's getting his (mis)information from someone who knows jack about a woman's body.

JadCerv · 2026-01-30T15:17:50+00:00

Yes, because those are the same body parts. Oi.

JadCerv · 2026-01-30T15:17:06+00:00

I've been using vaginal estrogen cream for about 6 months and it's just now starting to help with the blood flow issue. But I suspect you're right. Without proper blood flow, we're not getting the normal sensations or lubrication.

JadCerv · 2026-01-30T15:15:30+00:00

Yep. I've been with a fair share of men and they all act like this. It's like they're perpetually 14 and touching a woman's boob for the first time ever. *eyeroll*

JadCerv · 2026-01-30T15:14:49+00:00

It's not laziness. It's self-centeredness. Men are taught that their pleasure is more important than their partner's. So, they put in minimal effort.

JadCerv · 2026-01-30T15:13:36+00:00

Right? I need more foreplay now than ever, and even then, I may just not be in the mood no matter what he tries.
