My post was removed from the Menopause subreddit so I am hoping I am in the right place to discuss this.

When I first started T, it was a compound cream. It made me feel so much better! But after 3 months, things just kinda went back to my new (low libido) “normal”.

My OBGYN then had me try Biote. After 3 months, I really don’t feel like it did anything. A friend said she didn’t feel it start working until the 2nd round.

Can anyone using pellets confirm this?

I am thinking of going back on the cream at a higher dose. I hated the pellet insertion process. I bruise easily and am a bleeder so after insertion, I bled through the bandages, through my mattress pad all the way to my mattress. It was a lot. And now there is a lump where the pellet was injected.

Will the pellet ever get fully absorbed and the lump go away?

TIA!

I was recently riffed and posted about it. I am eligible for severance if I sign a “release”. The release includes references to the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act (OWBPA). Basically, if there is a RIF they are supposed to provide disclosure of the ages and job titles of everyone in the “decisional unit”. This disclosure was not included. I reached out to HR and they said they didn’t have to disclose since only 1 person was riffed in my group. However, this isn’t true! I know of 2 others specifically - and we are all over the age of 50.

Basically I think HR is lying. But what recourse do I have?

Got a weird early morning meeting set with my ED - he never asks to meet with me first thing. It conflicts with training I am in so he asked me to meet before the 8am training. Anyone in the know about a CIB RIF this week?
