Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

Advice for nipple pain? (startrek.website)

Hey guys. I'm in peri and am on progesterone 300mg nightly and estradiol 0.025mg patches twice weekly. My nipples are unbelievably sore. Seriously they feel like fresh bruises, even the pressure of fabric from a shirt or bra can be painful. My GYN said this is common with progesterone and recommended evening primrose pills, but like an idiot I didn't ask what strength or how often. Do you have any experience with this or advice? Please and thanks - it's making me extremely cranky 😬

Sometimes I have one day without it in the middle of the week, but it's a bit easy to loose track.

The idea of a lower dose every day sounds really appealing, consistency would be nice! I'll ask the pharmacy about getting some 100mg next time I run out - thanks, I haven't thought about changing it for ages and there's no harm in trying :-)
