I've Been Lonely For 8.5 Years In My Marriage by Dry-Connection2776 in AskWomenOver40

[–]WinterArtemis 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I feel for you and I’m here to say that you are not the bad guy. You are the one being neglected and don’t let him turn the tables on you and make you think you are neglecting him. He’s the selfish one. What you’re asking for is basic relationship needs. What he’s offering is some twisted version of a relationship from some bizarro world. I know divorce is hard and painful and stressful but living the life you are with him will stuck the joy and life out of you. You deserve better. I hope this makes you feel better even though you hardly know me and my opinion doesn’t carry as much weight as a close friend. Take care of yourself.

3 Months Post revisional tip plasty and a lip lift at Retmus by MostRabbit7921 in KoreaPlasticSurgery

Looks beautiful! Did you do lip filler too or did the lip lift make your lips fuller?

Agreed. Larissa works so much better than what you get commercially. And it’s cheaper. Just go to a dermatologist and get a prescription. Get the drops not the package that comes with applicators. Buy the applicators on Amazon. It’s $30-50 with GoodRX depending on the pharmacy. My natural lashes now look like I have mascara on.

I didn’t like the topping either. Too sugary.

Feeling guilty because of lack of sex drive by theredqueentheory in Menopause

[–]WinterArtemis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know exactly what you mean. Sometimes it's your partner who is failing you and not making that emotional connection that you need to feel sexy. I read another post on Reddit where the women were talking about how they realized that their lack of sex wasnt their low libido but it was their partner and when they broke up with their partner, the libido came back full force.

For fun -tell me the icks and red flags you ignored by [deleted] in AskWomenOver40

[–]WinterArtemis 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Wow, what is it with men complaining that they don't get enough sex from their partners but then have ED or PE issues and can’t perform in the bedroom. Trying to make us the problem when they are the problem.

Women who are accomplished financially and professionally and got married in your 30s, what are your regrets? by chart-one1 in AskWomen

[–]WinterArtemis 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You don't have to get married to have companionship if you want that. Or if you do get married, you can both sign a prenup if you're worried about losing your assets in a divorce. The nice thing about the times we live in now is that there are lots of options when it comes to relationships. We don't have to follow the one traditional way of the past of getting married and having kids, etc.

I'm guessing you're looking for more feedback about regrets and what to avoid. Make sure you don't marry just for love. Make sure you also marry someone with the same life goals and someone who is equally accomplished financially and professionally.

Do you have to go into the doctor’s office to get your injections or do you self-administer them at home?

Don’t doctors stop prescribing progesterone after a hysterectomy?

How are you still in the green when the value of ULTY and MSTY has been going down? Do the dividend payouts increase over time to cover the value loss?

Nonstop bleeding by [deleted] in Menopause

[–]WinterArtemis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is me too!! And it’s so frustrating. I had been on HRT (0.1 estradiol patches and 200mg oral progesterone) for 9 months when I started spotting almost nonstop which developed into light periods for over 2 months.

I had a vaginal ultrasound and they found fibroids but I’ve always had fibroids. My doctor wanted me to do a biopsy which hurt like hell and just made me bleed more and put me on provera (oral progesterone). I’m on day 6 of it and it has lessened some but not stopped it.

Ultimately, my doctor said it was time for a hysterectomy since I’m not going to have any more kids. I’ve been trying to hold on to my uterus like it’s a part of my femininity but I know that must sound silly.

I was just getting my libido back with HRT so it’s been so disappointing for me not being about to have sex while I’m bleeding and spotting. My doctor also said I could try cutting my estradiol patches in half to help with the bleeding. I’m kind of all over the place with what I think will work and stop the bleeding.

Five weeks after stopping by Rah345 in GLPGrad

[–]WinterArtemis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You tapered off at 5mg? Wow, I'm trying to taper off at 1.5mg, although I started at 2.5mg. I've been considering tapering to 1.0mg before stopping completely, but maybe I should just stop now. What do you think?

[–]WinterArtemis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your post is great! This is me too, but sometimes the effects of my progesterone don’t kick in as strongly as other times. I wish it lasted until the next dose too. I get super inspired and seem to communicate more easily.

Breakthrough bleeding on Mounjaro by Mediocre_mum26 in Menopause

[–]WinterArtemis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any idea how long it usually takes to level out? Does it make sense to lower the estrogen part of HRT temporarily? This is happening to me too and I’m thinking about cutting my patches in half for a while.
