No literally the only change is with my libido. I feel like I’ve got a bit more energy, but that may also be because I’m now medicated for ADHD. It’s been a wild ride!

It’s worth noting that I do have chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia and I’m really bad at exercising 🫠

So glad to hear it all went well. I had minimal side effects when I started HRT. I think boob tenderness was about the only thing I experienced and it lasted maybe 2 weeks at most. I hope you get benefit from it.

ooh amazing album, there was a point where I would listen to this almost daily. Pearl’s Girl is a standout track for me, but the entire album is gold.

HRT helped my mental health immensely. I was in a really really dark place and going on HRT (with no other life changes) improved things within a week.

Yep, he lives for it. I adopted him when he was 5 years old and trained him as soon as he got used to me. He he gets very excited when I get his harness out and loves to go for walks. He’s 15 now and still keen everyday unless it’s really cold.

He’s real! He’s on Instagram - alexthebengal And he’s ridiculously photogenic

ha ha I would be more than happy for my clitoris to enlarge, it has vanished almost completely and I miss it. Hopefully I can get out today to pick up my gels and creams. I will report back in the future and see how I am doing.

Imagine if men needed MHT, it would be free in a heartbeat!!

It’s just so disgusting that these medical “professionals” can treat you this way. I am so sorry that you had to experience this. If you have the energy, I would put in a complaint. You do not deserve to be spoken to and treated like that at all.

I looove my progesterone nights, I sleep like the dead. However I need to go talk to my GP coz at the regular dose I get ridiculous dizziness if I have to get up and pee. And it’s not like room spinning dizziness, it’s more like I walk in a crooked line and take out the wall. Hard to explain and not so good.

I don’t get hot flashes. I get a whole hot morning, every morning. It’s Winter here and I generally walk my cat around 10am. I rarely wear a jumper/jacket. We go for our second walk in the afternoon (bengal life) and I’m rugged up appropriately. It’s wild.

oh wobbly cats are super special. Give him a squish from me.

Ohhh you Melty my heart.

ohhhh, I had to look up melasma and ding ding ding, I have this too! Not sure when they popped up - in the last year or so. Blimey, it just goes on and on.

aaw. He’s only started to slow down in the last year. Unfortunately we were attacked by a dog in our front yard a month or so ago and it’s put a little dent in his confidence. Mind you, his confidence was ridiculous to begin with. He does have his little old man modes though and he’s gone completely deaf.

thanks Lefty! I know it’s a lot to wrap our heads around new things at times, but what’s happening at Reddit is sad. So thanks for creating this space, may it flourish.
