Morning gals,
Thanks so much for helping me. After your comments and sleeping on it I feel less stressy.
7dwarfs I wish I could have a general anaesthetic, but probably can't. I think I may need to be awake in order to move around for the best veiwing position, as it seemed like my cervix hid and never wants to be found again. I was relaxed during smear and had taken paracetamol but still the hide and seek game went on for 20 minutes.
CLKD you are everything and so was your reply

You have a way with words, I instantly felt a whole lot better after reading your mesg. Thanks.
Hia SJ Sorry to hear that you're having hair loss too. It really sucks, and despite it being a relatively superficial symptom, it still affects us, our image and mood too.
I am prone to hair loss yes. In general, but If I take anything that has a potential risk it makes it that much worse.
The hair loss I'm having now is on another level to anytime before. It's coming out all day and in a male pattern sorta formation, which are both new to me. Obv I'm suspecting the Testogel for that reason as ive just hit the 5-month mark of taking it. The testogel is starting to get my sex drive back but at the cost of some hair it seems. Also had more greasy skin and oilier hair and spots....nice! Should have guessed this would but I live in hope. I've just yesterday started to cut down to a pea-size every other day to see if it will help. Hoping to have my cake and eat it.....hm! So you think it may be the O gel? Do you plan to restart it, apparently that's the scientific way of testing a reaction. Is to stop, wait a while, and restart. Or are you on another form of hrt now?
