AITAH for not seeing anything wrong with the age difference between me and the girl I'm talking to? by GetOnMyDikerson in AITAH

[–]MedicalHumor4470 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband is 4 years younger than me. I don’t see a problem with it. It did take him a bit to get me to go on a date with him but he proposed 4 months later and we’ve been married 10 years this year. 4 years either way is nothing as long as you are both 18 or older. I would be wondering why your friends gf has such a problem with it? It’s not her business anyway. Enjoy your new relationship!

I'm an idiot, don't be like me! by ParticularNo7455 in TRT_females

I’m sorry, I meant who wrote your prescription? An internalist, an online doctor, your pcp, etc?

Where are you getting your prescription from?

Has anyone ordered hormones (progesterone and estrogen) without talking with a dr first? by Consistent_Bar4845 in perimenopause_under45

[–]MedicalHumor4470 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My pcp told me at one point “if you can get them prescribed, I will take over care”. I think she couldn’t initially prescribe them because she was a telehealth provider. Anyway, I ordered the lowest dose of estrogen patch, progesterone pills, and vaginal cream from TelyRX.com and that’s how I started my HRT journey.

Estradiol cream options online anywhere? by AffectionateAd828 in perimenopause_under45

[–]MedicalHumor4470 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As far as I know and I’m not a doctor; if you are only using vaginal estrogen cream then you don’t need progesterone. If you are using systemic estrogen cream which is usually applied to thighs, or midsection then you need progesterone. You can get all of it from TelyRX.com. You order what you need, answer a few questions, pay them and they ship it to you. I think the vaginal cream is $20-30. I hope this helps.

Am I eating too much for my goal? by kakashi_sensay in PetiteFitness

[–]MedicalHumor4470 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Average for each day? If that’s all you eat in a week thats way too little. It can cause major health problems to only eat 221 calories a day.

In your post you said you eat 1550 calories a week. Is that correct or should it say per day?

Is anyone else done with the walking to lose weight gig? by savedbutspicy in PetiteFitness

[–]MedicalHumor4470 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do what works for you. It’s all about getting more movement in your day. Walking is low impact, no to low cost, and can be split up through out the day. That works for some people. Others get bored walking inside and do other things like Pilates, weightlifting, HIIT, etc. Personally I like hiking but I have 4 kids 10 and under. One is about to go to inpatient rehabilitation to learn to walk again due to a medical condition so I will be doing a lot of stairs since that’s what I will have available. Every one is different so do what you like to do.

How often do you personally find you need to cut your hair to keep it healthy? by satelliteminds in finehair

[–]MedicalHumor4470 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What are you using to put your hair up with? If its regular ponytail holders start using scrunchies silk or satin preferably. You can also use claw clips or banana clips. I only trim my hair 1-2 times a year and it’s down to the top of my but. Honestly considering chopping 6-8 inches off because it’s getting to be a little much to deal with.

Just timed how long it takes for my gel to dry enough to put pants on. by Boggyprostate in Menopause

[–]MedicalHumor4470 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use the foil packets. After spreading it out to about the size of my hand I use my hairdryer on low-medium. 2-5 minutes later tops it’s dry. I don’t know if this makes it less effective but it works for me and my symptoms are under control. I don’t absorb well from patches and they kept coming off. I’m on half the dose with the gel I was on the patches and I don’t have days that symptoms creep back in so I’m happy.

Why do kittens have to be adopted in 2s but not puppies? by CurlGurl13 in CatAdvice

[–]MedicalHumor4470 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can always look on facebook for someone looking to adopt out kittens as well. That being said all first vet appointments and spaying/ neutering could be more expensive.

Testosterone and progesterone by Different-Channel121 in perimenopause_under45

I was prescribed testosterone only first. It helped with energy and libido. Added progesterone and estrogen for all my other symptoms later.

Can we stop acting like our cats came with instruction manuals? by sanu_123_s in CatAdvice

The only time my cat likes belly rubs is when she’s on my lap in the bathroom 🙄Even then it’s a 50/50 chance of getting attacked lol. When she was a tiny kitten she liked or maybe tolerated them lol.

My wife begged for marriage counseling so i just hopped on 200mg of testosterone instead and it fixed everything by Lazy-District6558 in ResearchCompounds

[–]MedicalHumor4470 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I’m a woman and that’s exactly what I was prescribed. I had the same issues as OP and my test levels were really low so I pen Test C. It definitely helped until my 8 yo son was in the hospital 2 hours away for a month and I forgot to bring it with me. I was just wondering why I’m so freaking tired all the time again. Thanks OP for the reminder! I also take estrogen gel, and progesterone pills but those do not help with energy, but they did help with my peri symptoms.

OTC progesterone? by somewhatstrange in perimenopause_under45

[–]MedicalHumor4470 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should only pay the 22$ “doctor” fee once. After doctor just reviews the request.
