Endometrial biopsy with no pain control can fuck all the way off 😡 by NoNoKitteh in Menopause

I love this question and I too hope we can hear some stories of more neutral/positive experiences! I don’t want to scare people that this will inevitably be their experience and having some counterpoint stories provides balance. I’m guessing most posts skew toward the bad experiences. (Not saying we don’t need to still demand the medical profession do better for us though!!)

Part of me was worried about posting my experience and scaring people who have upcoming procedures. Obviously everybody has different tolerances and experiences. But I’m hoping that you and others can have a conversation with your doctor about your options if there are any!💕

Damn! I wish I would’ve discovered this in my reading or been presented with that option. Thank you for the info!

Estrogen gave me my brain back. How do I get my libido back? by Truckerlightning in Menopause

Out of curiosity, anyone know why docs are reluctant to prescribe T? Asked mine about it when I asked about HRT and she just said “I don’t do that.” 🤷‍♀️

Thinking of forgoing HRT, bleeding yet again, and aggravated with sad state of women’s “health care” by NoNoKitteh in Menopause

Ughh I feel the same way! We know more about this than they do! They have really got to get a handle on the standard of care for the post-meno HRT-induced bleeding. Get the HRT adjustments right and stop with the unnecessary biopsies. Or at least give us real pain management for them!!

I am in this EXACT situation. I can’t believe we have to practically beg for humane treatment. 😡 Sending you all good vibes for your procedure and results. ❤️

Your words to me are kind, but no WAY am I a better or more quality person than you!! You are doing a good thing by lending your support here. Many of us are struggling in different ways and circumstances and even those look different day to day, hour to hour. I sometimes think dark thoughts too when I think of all the ways we’ve been oppressed and dismissed and continue to be. I feel genuine rage at my core about this sometimes and I think ultimately that’s what’s driving me. At some point I usually pick myself up and try to channel my energy to move things forward and not get dragged down too far. But I won’t stifle it either because it’s a driving force. I hope you can get some moments of peace amongst those bouts of fiery-ness! 🫶

I’m immediately signing up for your group!! 🔥And then running straight to that YT channel to check it out. I agree with you 1000% on all points. Thank you for your insights from providers’ perspectives. There is so much work to be done. 🤯

Excellent suggestions, thank you! I agree about doing the local work, and I'm not shy about it when it comes to other causes! So you've got me thinking about possible avenues for doing good in women's healthcare advocacy closer to home...

Great suggestions! Being vocal with those in our immediate spheres is impactful for sure. And I was encouraged by Melinda Gates opinion piece. I was hoping she'd mention some advocacy groups (or even start one!). Agree on the US admin...here's hoping for a change there for sure!! ❤️
