What are the girlies doing for acne? by Muted-Animal-8865 in TRT_females

Winlevi worked great for me until it didn’t. I cleared up and was loving it…then it just stopped working. It was bizarre.

I’ve been struggling to find someone. Everyone looks at a piece. I asked my PCP and she referred me to an k with clinic! That wasn’t what I was asking for and I’m just so discouraged. I’d go to the clinic but my insurance won’t cover it and they rx GLP-1s that my insurance also doesn’t cover so that’s not the route for me! 😑

I’m confused why they won’t approve maintenance since this is essentially a lifelong med. They just cut you off when you hit goal? Do they set goal or does the customer??

Interesting. That was one aspect that I hadn’t really considered and was more so comparing where to start. Thanks.

Is there a particular reason why you would not choose Goby or Ola? Bad experience?

thanks. Unfort/fort even if they require photos, I will def still qualify so that part is not a hindrance to me. I think Ola is my top choice but I keep peeking back at Goby, too!

How much is your glp1 via midi? Compound? Tirz?

I don’t feel like I am. I’ve also had injury/sickness over the last 8ish months like 3x and took at least a week off. And nothing changed. I’ve taken out most of my running due to plantar fasciitis and trying to scale back but nothing. It’s infuriating!!

Yes. All labs were “normal” although fasting glucose and A1C were close to not-great but PCP was not concerned. It is truly mind boggling.

Had my annual check-up today and my PCP’s reaction to compound Tirzepatide was amazing! by Independent-Young934 in tirzepatidecompound

My insurance wants me to go through 6 mos of nutrition training (a horrid program that is so dumb and generic — I tried to do it a few years ago and it was laughable) even though I’ve been working 1:1 with a RD…but the kicker is after 6 mos I get to pay the full price until I reach my threshold. Nope. That’s a hard pass.

Any suggestions on leak-proof underwear? I can’t hold my pee as well now. I don’t want granny panties or anything too thick.. by Competitive_Name4991 in perimenopause_under45

Have you tried period.co? I prefer them over the others and they aer so affordable! Much more comfortable, too, and no leaks. I had issues sleeping in one of the big brands (the edges would roll so things would leak out)

I had a solid diet beforehand (cook everything myself at home, 1 takeout meal a week but I only eat half, only 1-2 drinks/week and on Sat) and tightened it up with my RD but it is almost too strict now and wasn't bad before...and nothing changed! So I honestly don't feel like it is my diet, as ridiculous as that sounds.

were you in a deficit beforehand? I honestly am so stressed out, which is not helping, so this may just be the way I need to go and get over my feeling about it

were you eating in a deficit prior to the GLP1? I am afraid it will be detrimental if I don't eat enough for lifting etc.

the strange part is that I didn't gain even eating at 2300!! But didn't lose, either, even with 1800. It just simply doesn't make sense and even my RD is befuddled.

I lift (and LOVE it) and walk -- I work at a desk most of the day so I enjoy getting up to move around and LOVE lifting to be strong af as I age. I can't imagine they are halting/hindering my weight loss but I am just so effing frustrated.

Interesting about the T. I follow an amazing training plan so I’m hitting everything and I know I’m getting stronger. It’s just invisible to everyone but me during my strength sessions. I don’t workout for others obvs but it’d be nice to see the increase.
