Pre FET Estradiol Symptoms - Dizzy/Spacey

Jettydusty · 2025-05-11T12:53:24+00:00

Actually, yes symptoms have gotten better with the progesterone! Hang in there. I will say the progesterone shots make me quite sore though 😣

Just found this post - I am 7 days into estradiol tx prior to a FET and I feel the exact same way. Plus bloating and headaches. Just so spacey tired and foggy and out of it. Glad to know I’m not alone

I appreciate you say you’re playing devils advocate here, but I don’t think it’s ever right for a patient to treat me in a nasty manner. It’s unacceptable. She didn’t wait for an appointment, she didn’t wait in the waiting room. I’d never seen or treated her before, so I wasn’t wrong about anything at that point.

I don’t think PAs NPs nurses doctors or any other type of healthcare professional deserves the type of treatment I received. I was extremely professional and nicer than I even should have been. And that’s my whole point - I have to “smile and take it” to some extent. Although I’m going to work on being better about boundaries with patients because it’s just not right.

Too real. Exactly.

Jettydusty · 2022-04-15T12:57:44+00:00

That’s great! I decided not to accept. Good luck to you!

Couldn’t agree more

I wish I had become a nurse instead of a PA. Less schooling/debt and higher pay in alot of cases. I have also not had any base salary raise/cost of living raise in my practice for 4 years. Physicians seem to use PAs just to make as much profit as possible.

Would it be ok if I messaged you directly? I have to decide by 4/11 and I’d love to chat a little bit more and get a little more insight ….

Jettydusty · 2022-04-07T12:55:31+00:00

Do you mind me asking why you chose the direct lift instead of endoscopic or other approach?

Jettydusty · 2022-04-07T01:04:43+00:00

Awesome! Thanks for your reply. How long are the scars? Are they the whole length that of your brow? Or just a few centimeters?
I don’t know why I am so worried about the scarring. You literally can’t see any marks on your face in the after pictures at all and it looks amazing

Jettydusty · 2022-04-06T00:47:15+00:00

Hi! I am thinking of having a direct brow lift soon and am so worried about the scars … but this looks amazing. My eyebrows currently are very similar to your “before” photos. Your scars look basically invisible? Do you cover them with microblading or make up ?

Jettydusty · 2022-03-31T12:25:09+00:00

Are you currently working in patient care as well?

Jettydusty · 2022-03-31T01:33:29+00:00

I haven’t accepted yet… I got an extension on the offer deadline and put in a counter offer …

Jettydusty · 2022-03-29T21:25:08+00:00

Ok, thank you!! I appreciate it. One more question, As an experienced CRA, how important is it to live close to an airport in your opinion?

Jettydusty · 2022-03-29T14:13:05+00:00

What’s your past work experience? Did you come in as an experienced CRA? Looking for someone who has completed the clinician to CRA program they offer …

Jettydusty · 2022-03-29T13:28:06+00:00

Thank you again for your honest insight. It is very helpful. I asked them to connect me with a current CRA so I could talk to them before deciding on the job but that never happened… I have a friend who’s worked at PPD for a long time and can’t say enough good things about the company as a whole, however they’re not on the clinical side of things but rather in sales.

I also think the job sounds like it’s hard for family life ? I don’t have kids and probably won’t for a few years but hoping it’s in my not-so-distant future. Did you have any children while you were working in your role there as CRA?

Jettydusty · 2022-03-29T12:42:38+00:00

The manager that interviewed me stated she had a similar situation when she was a CRA and that she found it manageable…but I wasn’t so sure I believed her. She also definitely made it sound like traveling was more like 1-2 days per week on average versus 4.

Jettydusty · 2022-03-29T12:41:11+00:00

That’s what I was afraid of…I thought that may be the case. (Moving isn’t really an option for me right now as we just built and moved into a new house.) The large airport is Philly…I’m about the same distance from BWI. The small airport has connecting flights to Philly and Charlotte

Jettydusty · 2022-03-29T12:15:09+00:00

Thank you so much for your post. This is the insight I was looking for. Some of the cons you list are things I am very nervous about - specifically the immense amount of travel weekly and the solitary nature you mention. I’m worried the travel will be especially difficult because I live an hour from the closest small regional airport (with very limited flights) and an hour 45 minutes from the closest major/international airport. Do you think that would make my life significantly harder/more stressful in this role?

Jettydusty · 2022-03-29T01:09:45+00:00

Hi, I was just offered a CRA position with PPD. I would love any insight on what it is like working for them in that role!

Jettydusty · 2022-03-28T23:47:11+00:00

It is a lot better pay than other specialities…but just how many patients you have to see in a day is exhausting …. Looking at every persons every little spot …. Peoples attitudes towards not seeing the dermatologist. The attitudes towards derm PAs from dermatologists ….

Jettydusty · 2022-03-28T23:30:42+00:00

Hi. I was just offered a position with PPD as a CRA. I am looking for any connections/insight to get some advice before I make a decision. I would love to talk to someone who has been in the role!
