Aging parent/alcoholic/dementia,expected to care

I am wondering if there are others in a similar situation. My mother is 75, declining quick. Mentally she’s not well she failed a screening, does not know people’s ages or what day it is. Can’t keep track of her medication. She lives alone, has been a shut in for many many years. I have very firm boundaries and am extremely low contact. What I know is from my smiling reporting to me. It seems like now that she is becoming unable to care for herself we are expected to now be her caregivers. My sister seems fine with me, but wants me to help out. I don’t want to, but I am struggling with guilt. I don’t want to be involved or only have limited involvement. However it also feels wrong and people are telling me I will regret not seeing her once she passes. I’m really confused and feel like nobody understands me.

I think something is coming out of my vag 😬

I will try to make my history short, please share feedback!

-started HRT July 31 after years of continuous BCP. On two pumps of gel in the morning and 100 mg of prometrium at night. I have been feeling amazing!

-on Saturday my husband and I had sex for the first time since spring and it was good, no concerns until holy hell by Sunday am I had a period from HELL. I don’t think my flow has ever been that heavy. I went to super tampons and a pad which I never do. Also, the last day or so using the super tampon it felt like I couldn’t get it high enough or in like it normally goes 😬I thought it wasn’t healthier tampon but maybe not!

-tonight Friday I decided to have a feel and make sure I didn’t forget a tampon inside (dumb I know, and there isn’t one) BUT I feel some ball like thing that is NOT usually there! wtf! It’s inside the vag, not falling out, not painful. I’m still on my HRT, no flow anymore.

-dr appt this week is already scheduled. In the meantime wtf is this? Is this due to the heavy flow? What happened to my vag?? Just proves I shouldn’t have sex ever again 🤪

Help I don’t want large glutes and a bubble butt!

I don’t want a butt like Dani or Shelby. I want to lose weight and fat. Is transform still a good option for my preference or no? I imagine I won’t automatically grow a bubble butt without HEAVY lifting and diet. Can I just slim down overall on team transform??

Additionally can I swap to dumbbells easily and do transform at home?

How to know when to increase estrogel?

I’m new to HRT. My dr said I could increase from 1 to 2 pumps of gel if I feel like it’s not enough. She said after one week or so. How would I know when to increase? What am I looking for or should I be feeling like? I don’t know what normal should feel like since I’ve felt to poor for so long.

Help for senior mother

Without a life story here I’ll try to keep it short.

My 75 yr old mother lives on her own, life choices have isolated her from everyone, she has almost no contact with family, no friends, goes nowhere. She has mental health issues, alcoholic, now showing signs of dementia or something similar. She has been referred to a neurologist but the wait is 7months. I’m not in a position to assist her for multiple reasons. She won’t move anywhere let alone assisted living. What supports are out there for her and how to access them?

Swap from BCP to HRT help!

Hello! I am 50, no idea if I’m in menopause or peri as I’m on continuous birth control. Lately I’m realizing I don’t feel fabulous and wonder if I should be feeling better. Here are my issues:

Poor sleep
Always tired even if I get 7-8 hours
Low energy
Now libido
Vaginal irritation
Leaky bladder after urination
Headaches

I wonder how it would be on HRT? But I am very wary of making the switch and coming off of birth control. I had my tubes tied 20 years ago so no pregnancy concerns. I don’t want to have a period and I don’t want to feel WORSE than I do now. I have an appointment soon with my dr but I’m looking for feedback, support, or something! I don’t know what to ask for because all of this feels normal to me but maybe I should be feeling better??

Summer series too long!

I really dislike this series being so long. I’m struggling with consistency AND motivation.

Additionally, when are the new teams and coaches being announced? It would be nice to try them out before the next series begins.
