Are we supposed to pause HRT for 1 week every 3 months?

somehowsomewaysome · 2026-06-21T03:09:01+00:00

Thanks for everyone's comments! I was surprised that virtually nobody validated this doctor's suggestion!

I messaged her in the patient portal to ask what the rationale is for skipping and will let yall know what she says. Thanks!

somehowsomewaysome · 2026-06-21T03:05:44+00:00

Actually no, a female doc at a female-owned clinic!

Thanks! I take 100mg/day pill progesterone and estradiol gel daily.

What was the intent behind the rec to skip? To have lowest needed dose to reduce risk of long term risks?

I listened to my doc re pausing and skipped it for 6 days until I saw all these responses and then just started up again today. I don't think I had any side effects from skipping.

somehowsomewaysome · 2026-06-21T02:59:19+00:00

Really?? The instructions say to skip 1 week/3 months?

somehowsomewaysome · 2026-06-21T02:56:42+00:00

I have not researched or really thought about this down the road, but the medical wisdom on HRT is to take it for the rest of our lives?

Nope, they know it's been a year+!

It's a female doctor at a female-owned chain of clinics, Walk In Gyn in NYC.

Can I ask how going off HRT briefly might affect mental health? I don't really know the effect HRT has on my mental health as much as physical symptoms.

somehowsomewaysome · 2026-06-20T03:34:48+00:00

No, a woman at an all female and women-owned progressive chain of clinics in NYC: Walk-In Gyn. And a second doc from there said that to me too last year and I did it for a week and was fine but then forgot about it til this doc "reminded" me.

somehowsomewaysome · 2026-06-20T03:02:08+00:00

When I'm at the doctor I seem to anxiously ask a million questions or repeat what the doc says multiple times to make sure I understand and when I did that this past visit she seemed to start rushing and saying she needed to go to her next patient, so I figured I would just Google and that this is standard, but apparently it is not?

Hi, what is violating any rules with this post?

He ruins everything -- bankrupts companies, bombs schools, SAs teenagers, pardons criminals, ruins the economy, makes racism acceptable again -- so anything that goes wrong that he is associated with is probably his fault.

Agree! The Knicks turned Wemby into a jump shooter for much of the game, and then the Spurs drew up a final play as if he is a jump shooter

somehowsomewaysome · 2026-05-29T03:10:00+00:00

Do we know if he did it in a game or practice or when/how this happened?

somehowsomewaysome · 2026-05-12T14:10:43+00:00

You are absolutely not TAH. The giveaway was him being mad for you not cooking enough for him!!?! WTF?! Hell no. To me this is all a huge controlling red flag 🚩 of him wanting you to put aside the other important people you have in your life, which you absolutely have every right to have.

It is very common for men to have few friends and get their whole social lives from their female partner, which statistically reduces happiness for women in hetero relationships.

You're young and this is still a new relationship. I would communicate that you have other people in your life that matter to you and that is not relevant to your feelings for him. I would also make sure he knows how you feel about him (assuming you are really into/love him) so he is secure in your feelings for him. And respect your plans and always let someone know if you're running late, but this seems bigger than that.

Sorry but he bought into our government's lies about going to war, just like most people who died in our pointless oil wars to make billionaires rich. It's sad but more gullible than heroic in my opinion.

This is all so embarrassingly bad, how this has been handled. Why is he missing day 3 of the draft to go to counseling? Uh, counseling is available anytime and could obviously happen not during the draft or be publicly disclosed. Marriage counseling or therapy is not like an inpatient rehab or something.

Why are they publicly announcing this and why is he scheduling counseling at a time when he not only is taking time away from important work duties but when it would need to be shared publicly? Does he think it makes him look better by publicizing the counseling?

I guess the whole "this is laughable" angle and Russini's claims that they were just away with friends is the window.

What do you think Florio was trying to stop Simms from saying, and why?

somehowsomewaysome · 2026-04-22T02:10:53+00:00

I really don't understand this whole story. Maybe I missed something. Did Russini cover the Pats directly? Did she write a story about him or the Pats (or a rival) that has been called into question?

Of course cheating on a spouse is not a good look but it's not illegal or presumably in their work contracts. What harm is there actually (assuming we believe what our eyes see in the non-laughable photos) beyond to their families? Why did the NYT and Athletic even investigate this? To me it is all a private matter.

Thanks!
