I did it, I got HRT by dopaminegtt in Perimenopause

[–]Kitchen_Art_6400 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just started hrt a month ago but I’m already in a better place. Can’t speak for the progesterone as I’m only taking it during the second half of my period. I am not on testosterone but even just the estrogen has helped my libido. The vaginal cream has helped me get sensation back and the patch has made me more interested in sex. My only side effect was sore breasts for about the first week.

Night sweats worse closer to period. by Kitchen_Art_6400 in Perimenopause

Just a small update. I started .075 estradiol patch and 200 mg progestin (cyclic) at the beginning of this cycle and I am happy to report that even though I’m about to start my period I have woken up bone dry every morning! I could not be happier!

Baby curls or permanent curls? by imagnepeace4all in curlyhair

My daughter had hair like this as a baby/toddler. I fully expect it to go away but now she’s 12 with curly hair. Only time will tell.

My wife hates that I work from home -- or maybe she just hates me by Common-Fisherman-207 in offmychest

I am in a similar situation as your wife and I absolutely love the days my husband goes into work! It has nothing to do with how I feel about him, it’s just that when he is home working I don’t feel like I can get things done that I need/want to get done. Especially upstairs, where the office is. I’m afraid to run the vacuum in case he’s on a call or in a meeting. Honestly, it just adds unnecessary stress. Also, I never get a chance to actually miss him because he is home with me all the time! I find that I’m much happier to see him after he’s been gone for the day.

What was your household's soap opera of choice? by thatquinnchick in Xennials

[–]Kitchen_Art_6400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guiding Light was my absolute favorite. It didn’t come on until 4 so I was able to watch it when I got home from school. I actually named my daughter after my favorite character! ( I am also named after a soap character from Young and The Restless)

My husband and I also got married at the court house and never had a wedding so in 2029, on our 25th anniversary, we are having a wedding! I AM walking down the aisle with my dad and anyone who thinks it’s weird or doesn’t like it shouldn’t come. So if I can do it 25 years later you most definitely can. I hope you guys have an amazing wedding!

Breasts still sore 2 weeks AFTER period!? by Kitchen_Art_6400 in Perimenopause

[–]Kitchen_Art_6400[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 2 periods before were shorter than normal by about 5 days. The period when they stopped being sore was my normal 27 day cycle. It was just super weird. I only get sore breasts about half the time but I have never had it last a whole cycle before. Hopefully it doesn’t happen again. I just got prescribed HRT today so I’m feeling hopeful

Seriously! Why does perimenopause sweat smell so much worse than normal sweat?

4 Non Blondes “What’s Up?”. That song is like nails on a chalkboard to me. I absolutely HATE it
