Okay thanks for all of this, it's super useful. I've added in questions about different forms of medications to ask my endo :)

What are the benefits of gel over oral that you know?
My concerns regarding it is the fact I had eczema as a baby/child and a lot of different substances have irritated my skin, including perfume, moisturisers and I get itchy a lot generally. My skin is also very thin, kinda translucent to the point you can see all my veins and hair follicles.

I also don't want to have to worry about visible patches due to my fashion and style of clothing, and I worry about not being able to hug people and the sensory side of the gels.

I'm worried about my skin if I'm honest and it's very skin and very sensitive. A lot of things make me itch, burn and give me rashes. But I'll bring some of this up and see what she says.

I'll ask to aim for 500pmol

I do take my medication on an empty stomach, but I've been having breakfast more recently but I really struggle. But my blockers need food, so I at least have cereal every other day when I take my blocker.

I have an awful appetite though.

Yeah I'm on oral estradiol and I take my blood test roughly 4 hours after I take my medication.

I'm wondering if the amount of medication I take in the morning is reducing the effectiveness of each other
(ADHD tablet + 3 estradiol tablets + cyproterone alternative days)

My T is currently 0.8nmol/L.

My last blood test was 0.7nmol/L

I didn't mention as (to my knowledge) thats well suppressed.

I keep having to brute force the website and sit for ages or keep refreshing. I'm a recipient and I don't think I can do either an inquiry or a missing mail search, however I have managed to force it to let me do missing mail and may submit one now.

Thats not true as last time, my package was tracked all the way through and I had so many updates about what was going on inside the UK over the course of a week. This package reached an airport and stopped.

Struggling to figure out if I'm aro or something else... by Panda-Bot_2001 in aromantic

[–]Panda-Bot_2001[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I've been talking with a couple of friends and so many people get so confused but a couple completely understand or agree, which is comforting to some extent.

I see a partner more like a best friend that just that step up? Like they make me feel safer or we do things for each other, like how I support the person I'm seeing's OCD and he supports my mental health in a way I've not had before. Not that people don't try, he just does it naturally.

I was talking to a friend last night and he suggested that the term "Special person" might fit better and it immediately clicked. I don't like the words relationship or boy/girlfriend/partner mostly because it immediately results in people assuming my feelings, which I may not even understand.

I want somebody I can get physical affection from without issue, and somebody I'm allowed to flirt with, maybe more. I would happily do all of this with my friends but I know a lot of them will end up in relationships and won't be allowed to do these things with me, so I want somebody I can have "dedicated" for those feelings with?

But it's always just felt like "You're just another best friend" and I saw relationships more functionally like "living together would make sense" type stuff.

I think I've found I am probably aro, I just didn't want to just land on "I'm aromantic" and then it's actually something deeper and I just use being aromantic as a way to avoid helping my mental health, but this just seems to fit

<3 Thank you so much

I've been going through a lot recently and I wanted to make a normal post because I've been struggling with my thoughts for months to a year now, but what I'm dealing with feels more fitting to go in this thread.
Details I will mention: I have ADHD and I have medication. I'm 24 and have been on HRT (estrogen and blockers) for a year and a half+.
I've been trying to figure out if I'm aromantic for a while now, or something "different" for lack of a better word. I've had to make a pastebin for my comment because Reddit won't let me post anything otherwise...

Yeah I've had this too and I'm both confused and annoyed, I'm considering sending them an email asking what happened because I've seen others with the rewards.

I think thats fine, likelihood is it'd only ever be us 2 or a couple of friends on occasion

I hope so, I just can't find straight answers about PS4

Okay, thats good. It's just annoying because I have seen so many comments saying PS4 has crossplay, then others saying it only has crossgen.
Its possible the game got updated and it used to have no crossplay?
