🤪 I just started spiro a week ago. Today is day 7 and the crazy painful, red cyst acne that I got lately (after starting hormonal therapy) is finally going away. I don’t have any more red and inflamated pimples and they seems to be drying up. 🩷

but my skin and face so so dry.. even my eyelids hurt. My hands are constantly dry, my lips… and on top of that.. I am not using the bathroom as smoothly and before.🤪

Do you girls take fiber? How do you hydrate yourself? Any dry skin???

I am 38 and was just put on hrt just 4 month ago. I went to my check up and dr keep kind of “advising” that I could go in a higher dose since I am still young and not producing any estrogen.

What dose do you take?

I am in 1mg estrogen in pill and 100 mg estrogen. I feel good so far but not sure if I should increase it..

And I see a difference already. Dr recently put me on hormonal therapy and my hormonal acne came back with revenge!! Red, painful cyst pimples that didn’t come down with anything. Dr put me on spiro last Friday and what a difference. Has been barely 5 days and I have no more redness.. the pimples are still there but seems to be drying out. Haven’t get a new one neither.

For how long have you take it? Dr send me to take 100mg which I take 50 in morning and 50 at night.. and told me once acne goes down that I could lower the dese just for maintenance.. that sounds long term medication??

Hello all. I bought a brand new hybrid escape last yr. I have perfect credit. Apr was 5.99 and I pay $500 a month. I don’t like payments at all 🫠 I still owe $28.000.

I have $20k in savings and $50k in 401k.. but also.. we will need money because I am pregnant and no health insurance..

I been thinking about pull the bullet and pay it off today.. what’s the best strategy to do it?

Borrow $10k for 401 and use all of my savings?

Use $10k from saving and leave $10k for pregnancy and delivery and use the rest from 401k??

My boss told me borrowing from my 401 was not too bad because I will pay back myself in time and with interest.. o am not sure how this works..

I was put on estradiol pills and progesterone but I keep reading most everyone are in patches..

Hello all. I don’t have health insurance and I guess that’s the reason why my dr put me in estrogen pills.. I would like to find out how much would I pay if I switch to patches? I am taking 2mg estrogen in pills

I guess is hormonal acne.. big, red, inflamed cyst acne all over my jawline. I started hormonal replacement therapy just 2 months ago and even tho I have always had acne.. now is worst..what’s causing it?

The estrogen or progesterone?

Hello. I started hrt 2 months ago and my face is terrible.. 😞 I have always suffered acne.. it comes and go.. but now is worst.. adding a balanced hormone regimen is not helping at all. Had any of you got acne too? How did you treat it? Is it the estrogen causing it? Or progesterone?

I am taking 2mg estrogen and 200mg progesterone.. I been thinking about cutting my dose in half because it’s crazy.. just today I have more than 6-8 big pimples.. red, swollen, painful 😰😰🤧

Hello all. Would you ladies explain to me how hormones work? 🫤🤪 i have always had acne.. it comes and goes, i started hrt 2 months ago and i been getting big, cystic, painful and red bumps every single day… hormonal acne in my jaw only..

is it the estrogen causing it? Or progesterone?

Is it happening to any of you? I am loss at what to do.. washing my face, probiotics, creams don’t work!!

Does anyone if you deals with teenagers and adhd. I am trying to figure out if my son fits that category or it’s just pure adolescent bad behavior..

I would take any tips from someone that might be going thru the same.. what red flags for you see to make the decision to find out?

Hello all. I been on hrt for a month and been feeling well. Hot flashes are gone and join aches too. I went back for a check up and she asked me a couple of times if i needed more 😅

she said before I was depleted of estrogen and she put me in the lower dose.. and wanted to add a little more. I been feeling good.. or I guess I didn’t know how sick I was until I got better so I told her no. I was ok.

I am 38 so I think being in lower dose is safer anyways)

But what are the signs when you need to adjust the dose? Any symptoms I need to watch for? I am in 100 mg progesterone and 1 estradiol. Only bad side effect I had is acne.. big cyst and painful acne. She told me my body was purging but prescribed spironolactone.

Hello. We got gifted a brussel griffon/ mini Aussie mix and I am so curious on how her personally might be..

I don’t know anything about Brussels

Hello all. My daughters best friend lives in a ranch and she and her mom were too gracious of gifting my 8yr old a puppy. They are going out of town so they came and leave the “surprise” and left out of town to do ranch business” i don’t think the puppy is ready, she eats kibbles just fine but been crying non stop all day/night long. What should I do? She bits everything and hates being in the crate!!

Her fiends family went out of town for next 2 weeks.

Would she be a “normal dog” I am afraid she might grow up being too anxious or as a “Velcro” dog which I will hate 😐

tHE POSITIVE!! 🎊 I have 2 older grumpy 10 yr old dogs.. so will be a good idea to put them together? They are males and puppy is female and not vaccinated yet.

💔 I will be calling police and sheriff today to explain the situation.. but the puppy will stay

I know being married with a husband/wife in military helps with q stay of removal.. but does that apply to sons or daughters applying for parents? When 1 of them has a removal order?

Hello all. I live in a small city and I have a 2024 hybrid escape.. I know in winter it’s a must that I need to drive it for the hybrid battery to charge.. uggg I hate not being able to turn my vehicle on from the app.. all winter long I get the message of “battery saver”.

Kids are almost out of school and I am homeschooling this coming school year.. that means I am not driving it much anymore other than 3-5 miles to go to the store once or twice a week.. is that a bad idea? Will I have problems later on with drained battery? It barely has 10k miles.

I been thinking about trading it in for a regular gas vehicle but pretty sure I am underwater 🫤

What to do when the addicted became so irresponsible that you had to sell properties to not lose them.. his house was so behind in taxes that I had to pay everything up to date and sell it as well as his vehicles.. he’s been in rehab 3 times and everytime he gets out he start fighting asking his money, but even $20 dlls he’s not capable of managing it..

he has enough money to start all over and that’s what I been hoping for.. but every time he relapses he says it’s because of his money that i don’t want to give back!! He’s gets so frustrated that lately.. decided to go to rehab twice..

Wha would you do?
