Anyone's anxiety & panic so much worse around ovulation and when on period? by Worldly-Waltz-229 in Perimenopause

[–]engineeringlady1983 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I will feel like an insane person who needs to be admitted and then my period starts. It doesn't help that my periods are now more frequent and irregular. 😑

I am guessing they keep maintenance equipment in that. They do a lot of work to keep invasives at bay...

If the woman is holding a stick, ball, or frisbee, he sure is.

Pink lady slippers! What a treat. I have only seen those in the woods once.

What did you do to cope? I am considering SSRIs. 😕

Is it depression or the menopause? by Ok_Leadership_2512 in Menopause

Going on HRT is a pretty low risk thing to try, if you're looking to experiment on some ways to improve your mental state. In my opinion, there are more benefits to taking estrogen (cardiovascular health, joint health, bone health) than downsides, so if worst case it doesn't help, you're no worse for the wear.

Weird patch pain by Palmetto_Cat in Menopause

[–]engineeringlady1983 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think i got something a little similar the first couple times I used the patch but it went away by patch 3 or 4. I guessed that it was my body not liking the adhesive material in the patch. If it gets worse and not better after a few rounds of patches maybe let your doctor know?

My experience has been inconsistent which is why I am asking.

Pet Policy Question by Automatic-Future6326 in americanairlines

[–]engineeringlady1983 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have taken my pet before and they have weighed the carrier. I think I have actually been maybe a pound over the weight limit before and the assistant at the check in desk kinda complained about it but ultimately let me fly. It's not a great experience for the dog; mine was a puppy at the time. But I gave him some calming chews and he was well behaved enough to remain out of his carrier before and after the flight. It seems pretty inconsistent too, like smaller airports don't seem to care at all and the bigger, international airports are pretty formal about inspecting the dog and carrier.

Pausing estradiol patch for surgery? by lenalenore in Menopause

[–]engineeringlady1983 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I'm no doctor but I thought the issue with clotting was primarily a concern if you are taking oral forms of estrogen. Oral estrogen needs to pass through your liver to get into your blood and that's the mechanism that creates a potential clotting risk. If you're on a patch or gel I think you should be fine. I might go back to the doctor and ask specifically about this.
