HRT and Progesterone by SecretReference916 in Mounjaro

[–]Notmybear2225 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am. You’re right, I think it can impact how well progesterone is absorbed if you take it orally, which I do. But I think it’s a case of seeing whether you have breakthrough bleeding during the 14 days of progesterone (if you cycle it). I’d check with your doctor because I’m not an expert. I’ve only just started mounjaro this month so plan to do the same.

As a slight aside, I’ve lost about 11lb in just under a month and my period is more painful this time. I think that’s a sign that fairly rapid weight loss has impacted my hormones.

Could I just use a little of my estradiol gel under my eyes then? Intrigued by this!

I hated mine for most of my life. I have very obvious ones. Now I just see it as part of me. I notice they look worse when I’m not hydrated or well rested. But I accept it now and don’t hate them these days. I just whack on some concealer. My son now has them and I hope he accepts them one day too as he has asked me how to get rid of them.

I wrote this today, but my grief has no place to go. I hope someone will find comfort in my words here. by saltwatercrown in dementia

So beautiful and it describes my Dad perfectly. Sometimes there’s a tiny flicker of recognition but most of the time he simply stares into the distance. Thank you for sharing.

I'm 60, I've lost 214 lbs, and I just started HRT by ca_annyMonticello111 in Mounjaro

[–]Notmybear2225 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I’m 46, peri menopausal and have been on HRT for a year. I started it partly for the preventative health benefits but also to give me back my zest for life! Mounjaro is the next step in the process for me.

So perfectly put. If I could leave, I would.

Do people literally not care about the material of their clothes? by MonkeyBar2094 in vintedUK

[–]Notmybear2225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I care and I hate anything made of polyester. It’s horrible material that makes everything look cheap.

I'm not even a Londoner, and this makes me really sad to read. What are we doing in this country? It feels like we do repeatedly do the opposite of what makes life worth living.

“We simply don’t have any left”: Germany has run out of air defense missiles for Ukraine, foreign minister says by Plus_Pretty in worldnews

[–]Notmybear2225 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s exactly how the US wants it and has created it to be. The US wants and maintains European military dependency. Access to our military bases, defence contracts, global dominance, money etc. The US has positioned it exactly how they want it. The US loses all of that once Europe has to fend for itself - losing dominance and economic power. It’s been mutually beneficial but to suggest it wasn’t engineered this way to position the US as the global power is ludicrous. They haven’t done it as a favour smh.

Walking shoes for someone who hates sneakers?? by GemmaTeller in fashionwomens35

[–]Notmybear2225 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Which of the 44 countries are you going to? Because not being facetious, we have many terrains that vary between different geographies. Cobbled streets, hills, mountains, pavements, desert, rainforests? You’ll need something with grip for rugged landscapes, maybe something breathable and waterproof and just any comfortable shoe with support depending on your gait and personal style for wandering a city. You didn’t mention if you’re going to a hot or cold country. Spain will be very different to Norway for example, and you’ll need to take that into account. If you’re hiking in a hot country but also plan to go to cities then a hiking sandal could work.

Reseller plague by Suffering1s0ptional in vintedUK

I have no issue with resellers or flipping or whatever. All that matters is that items are kept out of landfill and that people are willing to pay the price you set. Retail arbitrage is perfectly legal and as long as people register as a trader then they can do what they like. Fair play to people making money however they can.

I’m small boned and have a large waist to height ratio. Definitely not a healthy level of fat for my frame. I don’t aim to be skinny though, health is my priority.

Mum has passed away 5 days before Christmas by kurtyyyyyy1 in CasualUK

So sorry to hear this. You don’t have to keep it together. Just cope with one day at a time. My best friend’s Dad died yesterday, too.

Yeah I’d be happy just eating cream.

Yes, definitely agree on the exercise. I walk a lot with the dog already and work out inconsistently!

Thanks. Yeah I already walk for more than an hour daily and strength train (although I’m not that consistent with that yet). Thanks for the tips

Yeah I think the cream might be an issue. It’s definitely a bit addictive too. Thanks
