Hrt side effects... diarrhea anyone?

Started 200mg progesterone in beginning of last month along with .05 estradiol patch. So a month goes by, and I'm doing quite well! I'm so so grateful for it but then all of a sudden my poo has not been so solid. Sorry for the description. I'm not eating differently, I've always tried to eat healthy and my stomach doesn't hurt so it really doesn't bother me much. (I've dealt with serious constipation in the past so this is a breeze in comparison)

The only thing I can think is the information sheet in the estradiol patch box says some may experience this. It's been more than a few days so I'm going to reach out to my doctor but just wondering if this has happened to anyone and if so, has it gotten better or did a change in dosage need to take place?

First month of hrt... experiences?

After getting various blood works and going to neurologist and endocrinologist (after my gyno said "can't be hormones, you're too young and on birth control") I went to another doctor after showing her my bloodwork and she was suprised how I have barely any testosterone or progesterone because I have been on birth control.

Anyway, in a week instead of the white pills on the birth control pack, she prescribed me 200mg progesterone pill for before bed and .025 estrogen patch. I'm aware the contraceptive is taken away but who cares at this point?!

I'm excited but a little nervous of the unknown. I know it varies person to person and she warned me of side effects, but I'm just curious to anyone's experience on these 2 hormones. Like the first couple weeks till the first couple months...

I've been eating better, exercising, doing "all the right things" to feel better, get in shape and lose weight but none of those made a noticeable difference. Not to mention the inner turmoil!

I'm hoping that I'll be balanced out soon, that my healthy change in lifestyle won't be in vain but I'm just curious to hear feedback from others.

Vibrato- of course

Hello, I'm a middle aged adult, have been taking lessons for about 3 years now once a week. I don't have any set goals i just really enjoy the violin and want to learn correctly. I listen to what my teacher says and I'm so terribly not confident in vibrato.

I watched so many videos, read things, and have had other violinists show me how they learned but I feel like I'll never get it. I feel I can do it sometimes, and my teacher will tell me right away if I'm doing something wrong but I still feel in my gut I'll never get it. I know it'll take practice practice practice and over time etc etc. But I feel like I'm listening to too many teaching videos on it and it's discouraging for a beginner.

I am playing this for fun, no set time goals or anything but still was wondering- for those of you still learning vibrato, how do you not get discouraged? Also has anyone ever just not been able to do it at all?

Random encounters

4th time playing story mode and for the first time i had an interaction with Cornwall's 3 men about a property deed for the railroad camp.

I love these random encounters (the white dots that are easy to miss) and wondering if anyone else has come across a "new" one or one you really enjoy.

Big little brother, Ziggy and his bigger baby sister, Eleanor. Same mom different dads. They're pretty good pals, but I'm hoping for cuddle buddies soon.
