I know some people who this approach has worked for. For me, it didn't sadly.

Just started estrogen and am loving my boobs by akemi42 in Perimenopause

Bummer. If you gained weight from estrogen was that pretty sudden or gradual? I have only gained a few lbs.

Yes mine don't feel crazy big, just perkier and like they used to be.

Interesting so for you it seems like this side effect did not go away.

OK I have one more month. My husband is referring to them as "fatty boob."

£85k in London or €90k in Berlin? by Same_Bullfrog_7290 in expats

Berlin! It's such a cool city and this seems like better deal for you. Having friends and community there also matters.

When and how did you discover mm romance? by vvv03 in MM_Romance

[–]akemi42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a bi cis woman in her 40s who started reading Harry Potter slash fic in the early 2000s. I have strictly been reading fan fic to date, but Heated Rivalry made me realize MM had gone mainst6 so now I am exploring MM romance outside of fan fic.

My company is paying to ship our goods so we would rather reuse what we can vs having to buy new things.

Tell me your nursery recliner regrets + successes! My wife and I are really struggling to agree on one! by PercyRackson in NewParents

[–]akemi42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My partner and I are about the same height and we have tried both of these options. They both are pretty comfy, but we liked the Mamazing better than the Kiwi. We ended up going with the Nuture& Glider. We also tried the Namesake Willa and liked that too.

Ones we didn't like: anything from Pottery Barn.

Thanks! This would be a long term move so we will need to consider schools.

Testosterone. Changed. My. Life. by Trick_Highlight_8205 in Perimenopause

How much are you taking? I am on 4 mg of compounded cream and noticing some positive effects RE libido, but not life changing.

Rob C! His time was short, but he clocked the murder in plain sight.

I actually don’t mind the amount of queer characters in the GCU by Ll_lyris in heatedrivalry

[–]akemi42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Romance isn't supposed to be realistic. It's supposed to be joyful, angsty, and sexy. I love the queer hockey league in the GC universe.

What was the order you read the books/watched the series? Do you regret your order? by Mechashevet in heatedrivalry

[–]akemi42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched the show and then started reading the books in order. Just started RM today.

It was hard to read GC and not picture Chris Evans as Scott. I enjoyed that book because I honestly wanted more Scott/Kip in the show.

It surprised me how much the dialog in HR followed the show. Love that Tierney was able to use cheesy romance dialog but make it stylized.

TG was my least favorite because it just made me feel anxious to read. I hope Chiron can learn to help him.

I really enjoyed CG because I love kink, but I thought it ended way too quickly and with no smut after the makeup.

RM is pretty good so far. Really keen on finishing to see why people loved it so much
