#oestrogen — Public Fediverse posts

TIL that in the UK you can order #oestrogen gel online, without needing a doctor's note or anything like that, to help someone going through the menopause allieviate some of their symptoms. Like, you could order it on behalf of a menopausal person, and without invasive checks you can have oestrogen gel go to the people that really need it. Seems like a really handy thing for folk to know! :flan_thumbs:

It now takes about 4 days for my stubble to be really fully visible. (3 on a bad couple of days).

Easier to shave everyday if needed but good to know I don't need to shave every single day now.

We don't talk enough about the incredibly positive impact that medical transition can have on those trans people that need to medically transition.

If you're medically transitioning or have medically transitioned, what are your positive experiences?

Have you heard of a bridging prescription?
Trans people can ask their GP for a bridging prescription for hormones to help them cope during the wait for an NHS gender clinic.

They don't have to give them, but if you're stuck on a waiting list and want to access hormone therapy, it is worth asking.

I was offered #CBD by a doctor. I said it interfered with my #oestrogen and as a result gives me #menstrual #migraines (which it does).

I was too sick to even ask, think, or talk about alternatives. Other #cannabinoid fractions, etc. (Every severely ill person needs an #advocate, but that’s another story.)

If I get another chance I’m going to ask for #weed itself and become Snoop Dogg.

I have a question for transwomen.

For those on oestrogen, do you have reduced quantity of cum compared with life before oestrogen?

Over the weekend, you may have seen/become aware of an article regarding Newson Health and above license #oestrogen doses. If this applies to you, please don't panic!

Over the time we've been A Thing, we've advised those on over licensed doses to refer back to prescribers, and indeed have advised within BMS guidelines regarding oestrogen and #progestogen dosage. We will continue to do this, and at all times member safety is our priority... 1/n

Wrote this when less #PEM crashed, but could be a typo/ comprehension minefield:

Does anyone know if #CBD oil interferes with #oestrogen? In general but specifically the #OCP (oral contraceptive pill).

Would I be better off consuming the whole plant? Perhaps oil from the whole plant? Has anyone had personal experience?

There is some good evidence that #cannabis can stop #endometriosis from growing outside the uterus altogether, so I’m looking at this as a form of #pain relief as well as a treatment and preventative. I don’t know which form and dose is best though.

The only other treatment for endometriosis is more hormones (which make me sick) and surgery, after which it grows back. Can’t find a doctor specialising in alternative treatments. They all just want to give you a #Mirena #IUD (without anaesthetic!) and surgery after surgery. Sometimes #hysterectomy if bad enough.

There’s also been some studies about CBD oil and #LongCovid. Something about switching on the #cannabinoid system.

Disclaimer: Yes of course I would get a #medical #marijuana license and buy it legally on prescription.
