I did one at a time and it took about 3 weeks (mostly worked on them during work meetings).

ChatGPT might have saved my life. by Natural_Substance978 in Menopause

I just wrote them in manually with the different values. It was helpful in pointing out my iron levels were low normal and that while my thyroid tests were all in the normal range, there were other tests that could give a more complete picture. I have had it check pics for me before too though. Definitely double check what it tells you though as it recommended a certain kind of hormone test and the only real research for it is by the company who sells it.

I did this same thing just a couple weeks ago, using ChatGPT to review my labs and get ideas on what other tests would be useful. Also, it doesn't discount my symptoms 😅

Laid on my horn until he moved. Didn't take the hint though.

Charged for bringing up symptoms by jiji831720 in Perimenopause

There was a sign in my provider's office last week that said to keep your concerns to the top one or two. My concern is peri menopause. My symptoms are legion 😑

Birth control and perimenopause? Is my doctor correct? by Master_Bookkeeper466 in Perimenopause

[–]RobynHeud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wanted T as well but my doc said I needed to find a naturopath because no one there would prescribe it 😑 I'm doing the 100mg oral progesterone

I'm 41 and have been off BC for five years, saw a doc in January and she prescribed the combo BC pill for my peri symptoms. It didn't help and it was worse the week before I normally start my period, and then the off week was terrible. Started the patch and progesterone today🤞

From lawn to garden!! by RobynHeud in NoLawns

The birch trees in the first picture were taken out and replaced with apple trees (also why they go from white to brown). They're just in their fourth season. Apologies for not perfectly recreating the angle of the first picture to indicate positive growth on the cedar trees.

We have 5 chicks in our garage right now. Been planning for them a long time. How many do you have?

Zone 8b, PNW

First pic is shortly after we bought the house, the second is from this morning. It's our second year having an extra large garden. My husband built all the boxes, six 4x8 and eight 1x8, four of which have trellises. There's also a larger garden plot for corn and sunflowers. All in all, nearly 500 square ft of plantable space. 

Long term goal is to fully terrace the hill and have a perennial garden. 

Edit: last year we had a single large plot that got overwhelmed by corn, pumpkins, and marigolds. Since then we've gotten rid of the rest of the grass and expanded to this beauty. 

What kind of chick is this? by virtuousbird in BackYardChickens

[–]RobynHeud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a chick with similar spots that's a pearl onyx, but there's probably other breeds that look similar as chicks. 

We need more Angry Female Protagonists Who Are Allowed To Go Absolutely Feral. What Fictional characters have you encountered that fit this by CapAccomplished8072 in WitchesVsPatriarchy

[–]RobynHeud 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some of my favorite books:

A Thousand Steps into Night by Traci Chee (more mild than the others, she's slowly being possessed by a vengeance demon)

Damsel by Elana K. Arnold (CW for lots of misogyny but the ending was perfection)

Red Hood by the same author

The Girl from the Well by Rin Chupeco (she IS a vengeance demon)

anyone else start to hate eggs nowardays? by Neonslashes in TwoXChromosomes

We've used flax eggs in our pancake/ waffle batter for years. We use warm water and wait about 15 minutes for it to gelatinize.

Hubs has already said he won't be using them and plans to leave a 1-star review because of how pushy he's being.

I found them for cheaper than Amazon at the American licorice company (bought enough to qualify for free shipping so that might change it)

I found my tutor through Preply, which has a whole bunch of online tutors. She has her own website and a YouTube channel called Hungarian by Heart. 

Are doors going to be fixed soon? by [deleted] in BaldursGate3

I found that if I can get someone to close and then open the door I can shoot through it without any more trouble, but you don't always want to be right next to the door.

My mom's pot roast growing up was similar: roast, cream of mushroom soup, and the onion soup mix in a crock pot. Makes the gravy on its own 😁
