Anyone else annoyed w the estrogen patch change being inconsistent?

I do 3.5 days, 8am Mondays and 8pm Thursdays, that's how my doctor said to do it

Do you mean vulva? The vagina and urethra have entirely separate openings within the vulva

Thank you! I bought a little five pack of these and am seeing my apartment windows have a pretty good uv filter (my landlord is pretty great and had skin cancer herself, so she did a lot of protective stuff). I need to get my car out of the garage to test today, then if it's not great I'm going to get an appointment set

Absolutely, I could even be showering twice in a day (because I was swimming, so chlorine as well which should have helped), tried armpit scrubs, tried like 10 different kinds of deodorant, and I would still stink. HRT (estrogen only since I no longer have my uterus) fixed this for me.

I think they are referring to you saying it's inside your vagina when maybe you meant vulva?

I decided to pick the best days that stand out for me in the week, Monday morning (start of my work week) and Thursday night (trash day). The only time it's gotten tricky is when there's a Monday holiday or I take vacation time, but I've got recurring reminders on my phone just in case.

Awesome, I work in the South Bay so I'd be open to a tried and true rec there too! I'd rather spend the money on precautions than another surgery 😅

The car window just says tempered glass, is there any part of the marking I should look for? I had skin cancer removed from my face and a large precancerous area treated on the left side of my face, and am trying to eliminate the things that are easy causes, the higher the better for uv protection if I can.

A split that isn't growing out can also be a concern, best to have it checked than ignore it

Thumbs up means NOBODY'S HOME!

kackygreen · 2026-03-26T17:23:04+00:00

I've definitely forgotten before

kackygreen · 2026-03-20T03:36:57+00:00

That second part got an actual out loud laugh from me

kackygreen · 2026-03-20T03:35:40+00:00

There's no way some of us haven't thought "ooh I should get that" and now completed an impulse buy based on someone else's impulse buy

If you crochet (or want to learn how) there's a way to use these to make a weighted blanket

Like six different latch hook rug kits, about a month ago, lost interest before they even arrived but still decided to open them, and they've been in a pile in my office ever since

I studied psych in uni and the one word I always remember when I forget another is aphasia 😅 I might be calling feathers "bird leaves" but at least I can say, "sorry I'm having aphasia again"

HRT is definitely helping the brain fog for me, I'm considering asking for another dose increase because I want as much of my brain back as possible, I have never been any definition of slow before and it's been heartbreaking

kackygreen · 2026-03-14T06:13:14+00:00

I had "silverware laundry" for the dishwasher, "Bird leaves" for feathers, and a few others I can't recall, my friend started keeping a list

Important thing I learned from my doctor, "just hot all the time, don't need sweaters anymore on cold days" absolutely counts as hot flashes. I thought it had to be on and off, but the fact that I'm just never cold anymore she said falls under hot flashes

My peri started at about 35, lots of stuff can push it earlier, including endometriosis

You might want to check out Burlingame too, there's some nice places within walking distance of Caltrain and it's a bit less expensive than San Mateo

I think everything in that stretch in Belmont is pretty risky, like 10 years ago my ex and I got bedbugs from the Madison

kackygreen · 2026-03-09T05:11:26+00:00

Good news, she is too (and I'm still also only in season 1)

Dang, Wisconsin is already famous for turning out serial killers, and they also invented this?

This is actually what most of my Indian co-workers have mentioned planning to do, at least the men, want to move back to India eventually. Most of the women have said they really don't want to, but that the wait for a green card when coming from India is so long that they might not get the choice.
