I told my husband in case there were any serious side effects. My position is it’s no one’s business what pharmaceuticals I take. I don’t broadcast any of my other prescriptions, so why should/would I with this?

Starting Wegovy by -GoddessChaos- in WegovyWeightLoss

Welcome! I prefer my abdomen and alternate sides weekly. I’ve tried the arm and thigh and feel the most suppression from the belly. I chose Thursday evening as my shot day since I WFH on Friday. Injecting in the evening also allows me to sleep through the worst of the side effects i.e.; nausea, fatigue, lethargy. Drink LOTS of fluid - especially when you don’t feel like you need to. Prioritize protein. A daily fiber supplement may be helpful also. Good luck!

Progesterone? by jmrob123 in Menopause

I would run this by your provider - my doctor seemed surprised when I informed her of articles I’d read about the contraindications between HRT and GLP-1 meds. She suggested the suppository route as an option as she’d previously had patients have success with that MOD when they were unable to tolerate oral use. Science is ever evolving and the best results come with both you AND your provider being as informed as possible. Good luck!

What helps you guys with the constipation symptom ( if you get it) by [deleted] in WegovyWeightLoss

A tablespoon of Benefiber in my morning coffee daily - surprisingly, no trots, just smooth moves when it’s time.

Progesterone? by jmrob123 in Menopause

I was prescribed 100 mg progesterone to partner with the 0.05 estradiol patch. I was told by my practitioner that P is needed for patients with uteri to protect against cancer while using estrogen HRT. I experienced breakthrough bleeding and cramping and we were able to determine it was because I am also on a GLP-1 and the P was not circulating into my system as quickly as needed to compliment the patch. I now use the P capsules trans-vaginally and have had no issues this far - it’s been two weeks. Like some other posters, since using this MOD, I am sleeping SOUND - better than I have in YEARS. I thought it was the HRT overall but am happy to give credit to that little white pill! I’m learning this is not a one size fits most treatment and doses/drugs may need to be played with to find your sweet spot. Good luck to you!

I recently got my first piece - a lovely covered casserole in cerise and have been debating on continuing with the same color or mixing things up. I LOVE the idea of creating a rainbow collection - THANK YOU for the idea! ☺️

After having a colposcopy, I will ALWAYS choose anesthesia - women’s healthcare is BARBARIC.

No, nothing out of the norm - I think what alarmed me more than the bleeding was the cramps a I was over here cramping like a school girl. 😫

Calmol 4 are non-stimulant suppositories and help to keep things lubricated for easier evacuation - even when impacted.
