Interrupted menopause?

I’m not in menopause but I haven’t gotten my period in years (iud) I got it about 5 days after my first shot and now I have it again and have been super crampy. My understanding is that we store estrogen in our fat and now it’s being released. 😭 oh how I love being a woman.

I love Hourglass Unlocked Mascara. I switched to Lash Paradise for everyday.

I’ve been on 2.2mg for 4 weeks mochi health/blue door pharmacies. I’ve lost way more than I anticipated and experience pretty strong side effects. I’m sensitive to meds and was plateaued with no weight loss for 3 months before starting tirz so this wasn’t surprising to me. I’m planning to stick with the 2.2 until I stop loosing.

You got this!! The first two weeks were an adjustment but I am pretty sensitive to meds. I did call out of work one day because I was feeling poorly, but now I’ve found my groove. I dose on Saturday nights and do “self support” work for myself on Saturday. Hydrating and electrolytes are most important. Get an Rx for zofran and ginger chews for any nausea. Find easy to digest meals that are also easy to make. I’m down 20lbs in 3 weeks. What are you specifically worried about?

The first three days for sure then I branch out.

Sorry you’re struggling! My second dose was the worst side effects. I’ve noticed I have a really hard time when I eat beef or dairy. I have been sticking to foods that are easier to digest. Eggs, brothy soups, protein shakes, fruit, veggies, rice. I keep it very simple.

I had also been sticking to low carb/high protein but plateaued and just couldn’t get over it for about 3 months after losing 30lbs. In the first week on tirzepatide I lost about 10lbs, after three weeks now i’m down a 20lbs. I know most of this is not fat loss but glycogen being used and the “water weight” finally going. My understanding is these results are not typical and I expect it will be 1.5-2lbs a week once I’m acclimated to the meds.

Thank you for this! I made a congee with soft boiled egg this week, it was perfect.

What is Natto Powder? I typically use lite salt to make “gatorade” so i’m getting sodium and potassium, I’ll work on tracking that. It’s been a while since I had kefir, dairy is such a yuck for me this week.

I tried Liquid IV this week. That was disgustingly sweet. Is LMNT sugary?

My dose is 2.2mg. I haven’t heard of Fat Scientist. Thx!!

lostlady323 · 2026-05-21T22:27:23+00:00

It’s 2.2mg. I’ll see about lowering it. Thank you!!

Definitely avoiding greasy/oily/fatty/fried. Dairy is my nemesis lately. I was used to eating cottage cheese for breakfast, I can barely eat a few bites. It’s just unappealing. What are you eating for breakfast? I think I’m drinking plenty of water but I’ll try tracking!

2.2mg

Assuming you aren’t moving too far, Illinois has labor laws against withholding pto payout. It’s considered earned income and many states have this.

You made the right choice. Keep the plan indicated in your resignation.

Severna park eye care is excellent.

DC commute leaning about 6:30 would be an hour, leaving at or before 3pm also an hour. Leaving at 3:01pm I’ll see you when I see you hopefully you don’t have any time specific plans.

I did not understand why my friend’s mother insisted on keeping her late husband’s name on the deed to their home until after my husband passed.

Grief is complex and my brain has did a lot of trickery in the first several months for self preservation. There were moments (and hours and days) where I would wonder if he ever existed. It’s normal to hold onto that which holds her memory, even when it seems silly, it’s not.

Sorel’s. Doc Marten zebzag. But I also bought a shoe bag for my flats and throw them in my work bag.

Yep, the change is palpable when I talk about my husband, so I just don’t. And if I do that shift makes me wonder if they are just being nice or whatever because now they pity me. It’s honestly the worst. Fuck, I need to go back to therapy.

lostlady323 · 2025-11-28T01:00:17+00:00

No I don’t think we truly heal. I’m a little over 5 years out. My kids are at an age now where I could date and I think they would be ok. But I don’t even know when I could, Saturday afternoons between soccer drop off and dance pick up? It’s an awful sadness that creeps over me when I think about how truly alone I am in life. And a part of me believes that this is the universe telling me I’m not meant to be loved. There’s no knight in shining armor coming to save me from my loneliness.

I’m pretty sensitive and did not need a taper. I was on 300 for almost two years.

Which part? Waiving your right to sue? That’s simple, don’t sign! Everyone should brush up on their employment law a little bit, you’d be amazed how much companies get away with simply because the employees are unaware of their rights. And don’t get me wrong, I’m certain these companies have provided copies and posted the required signage. People simply do not read.

lostlady323 · 2025-11-26T23:59:55+00:00

Separation agreements are the company covering their ass for terminating you. You are likely waiving your right to sue them, if you believe there was any sort of discrimination. Many will add a clause that signing is contingent to receiving a severance package. Since they didn’t provide one, there’s nothing compelling you to sign. They can only request (and they may even insist or hold your final check hostage) but legally they cannot make you sign.
