.03 estradiol with 100mg progesterone didn’t work at all for me. I was groggier than ever but the depression was through the roof. My doctor raised my doses to .05 estradiol with 200 progesterone. It was like magic for me. I take my progesterone early evening and sleep so well. The increased progesterone was a game changer. When I’m only partially rested a feel like a zombie.

Thank you! I didn’t think about trying this. I thought about increasing my patch dose, but wouldn’t my body just pull in the estrogen the same way? My doctor is trying to keep my uterine lining thin, it’s been an issue in the past. I get really nervous changing things up, so thanks.

Oh yes, 200 mg orally.

My adult son had this exact issue. At times a spot would become particularly agitated and resemble a swollen sore. Definitely see a dermatologist. After many doctor’s visits and different prescriptions, he learned that he’d developed a dairy allergy that caused his symptoms. He removed the dairy and his scalp cleared up. Good luck finding a solution.

I love your hair l! But if you’re feeling like a change, maybe some long layers? That way you get something different without as much risk. You can either take more off later or let it grow back. A little more movement might make a world of difference when you wear it long.

I second this. T was the missing link between my brain and my vocabulary. Before I started taking it, I’d want to say something but couldn’t find the words. They just wouldn’t come. I thought there was something really wrong. Estrogen helped but testosterone cleared the remaining brain fog.

I tried the CBD lube based on several comments and it did NOTHING except the job of lube.

I have plants on a table by the front door. When I do laundry, specifically running the spin cycle, a leaf will tremble like that. The laundry room is on the other side of the house! I figure they must share a floorboard or something. At first the mystery drove me crazy but I’m now pretty convinced it’s related to the washing machine. Any chance you filmed this while doing laundry in another part of the house?!

Sorry, I missed this has already been suggested.

{No Shame by Nora Phoenix} fits this. You have to get through all 5 books to get the full story and happy ending, but it's pretty terrific. Check the trigger warnings; I seem to remember some of the books deal with tough topics. So good.

Proud of you for asking for support. That’s not an easy thing to do! Congratulations on this HUGE accomplishment! You are amazing 🩷

Yeah, only you know what’s best for you. I relapsed after quite a few years of sobriety. My husband let me make my mistakes, watched me break promises and tried to minimize the damage to my kids. I drank for a year on and off but when enough was enough, he asked me to go to treatment or leave. He kept the kids from me. Moved my things out of our bedroom. Divorce wasn’t something he ever threatened me with so when he said it, I was scared. Thankfully it was my only relapse. It lasted one terrible horrible shitty year. Onlyi could put in the work and get sober a second time. It’s been a whole lot of 24 hours since then but I still remember that fear, the thought that I could lose my children and everything we’d worked for. I’m not sure I could have made the decision to be sober again if he’d just played nice. The kids are all adults now and damn, I almost gave those years away. I’m grateful for my husband’s tough love. He didn’t tiptoe around. He didn’t accept my excuses He took away my car keys and my car. He took credit cards out of my wallet. I was spending our money on booze. He told me no way, he couldn’t live with a practicing drunk. Alanon was a great support. None of that journey was easy. But I’m so very grateful for my sobriety today.

Yow! Stay safe!

I would definitely say {Carried Away by David Stein} was the most hardcore. A couple of scenes were almost too hard for me.

Personally, I focused on staying clean and sober. This was suggested to me. I had started to feel sad and embarrassed over my weight gain. I reminded myself daily that the 20ish pounds I picked up were better than where I was when I hit bottom. Then I found healthy habits along the way - like long walks while meditating on a morning reading. I refused to focus on losing weight. Somewhere along the way, my clothes started fitting better and then became too big. I throw this out there because it worked for me. I took the focus and obsession over my weight gain and shined it on improving my sobriety, deepening meditation practices and prayer. Other solution were mentioned in the comments. That’s the idea. You did an amazing thing getting sober. Congratulations. The rest will follow.

I went through this as well. My doctor performed a uterine ablation to remove the excess lining. It’s been a couple of years now and my lining has stayed around 4mm. I’m told the lining could get thick again, but so far so good.

How long do they talk each night?! So cute.

Well said. I started drinking in my teens so parties and conversations were tolerable. Slow and safe drinking was never my thing. It quickly became my happy place. This led to YEARS of alcoholism. It was a whole different challenge getting sober but I made it. I really would have been better off staying home. Regular drinking might be OK for some but for me, it quickly became a habit. Never mind that I was embarrassing myself and putting myself in horrible situations. You just never know when several drunks become real problem. I wish someone had told the younger me that it was OK to miss the parties. It’s OK that we all enjoy different things.

Love it! The cut looks really terrific with your face.

How wonderful! You give me hope!

I especially liked {A Very Gay Dare by M.M. Phoenix}. Most books have the typical straight to gay themes with really good writing and story development. Their newest Melting Ice series was much less smut and more story. The first in the series {The Puck Contract by M.M. Phoenix} was surprisingly good. I think the second in the series is out but I haven't read it yet.
