Some folks asked if I would check in when I started my HRT so here I am. I have only noticed two differences thus far:
- I have little blue adhesive residue circles all over my lower belly where my jeans rub against the patches and leave little fuzzies. I just learned of medical adhesive remover and plan to pick some up after work today.
- My dreams are so much more vivid.
That’s it. The doctor said give it two months. I’m still a bitch on wheels to my husband at work, because being told what to do pisses me off these days. And my hot flashes, which were not bad to begin with, haven’t changed at all. I’ll keep checking in but it feels like most people are still over on reddit where I don’t go any more and I don’t want to turn the lemmy menopause forum into the knitapeace show.
I had no idea about the adhesive remover! My stomach looks like polka dots sometimes. 🤬 thank you!
I hate Walmart but that’s where I ended up due to reasons, and they didn’t seem to have any on the shelf and the line at the pharmacy was about 7 people long, so I ended up ordering it from Amazon. It should get here Sunday. In the meantime I got it off with Vitamin E oil, but I did have to rub a little and it wasn’t great.
