i know this is a love thread but be careful taking hormones nonetheless.

i gave my gf progest-e and it gave her a three week period which never happened to her before, it was always regular. she also got headaches after every dose so she stopped.

@alpine-raspberry

the best way is to go to a local market and ask there who sells raw milk. they will hook you up with a local farmer and you will get freshest raw milk possible, in glass bottle. Local farmers in my country (in eu) usually don't sell in shops but just to local people, who come to them weekly for milk and yoghurts and eggs. Some also deliver. usually you won't get an official receipt for that and its cash only, often they don't even have the website. If it is in normal store, it is probably trash as it was sitting to long there(I tried once raw cow milk from Spar and it was randcid. never again)

@Kvothe to the stomach or navel, as it helped her period cramps.

@Kvothe said in hirsutism from progest-e:

Progesterone doesn't cause hirsutism, there is no mechanism ever mentioned. Besides, a dose of 3-4 drops on the skin will barely affect circulating progesterone levels in the body. So, it makes no sense to assume that the progesterone is responsible for a sudden occurence of hirsutism. Vellus hair transformation into terminal hair is mostly due to the effect of androgens. Something that suddenly lowered her SHBG and significantly increased free androgens could be responsible.

Dear kingkiller, it surely caused a hormonal inbalance since it caused instant headaches everytime (so it had a strong effect), and she had a 3 week long period after that.
She never had period lasting more than a week before. So everything points to progest-e, as she did not make any other changes.

But it is true that her hirsutism might not be connected to that - as she had some hair falling out after stopping birth control half a year ago, maybe that could have caused it?

@RapexEat Try not cumming. Train ur pc muscles so when you are on point of no return, scream and clench and sperm won't come out.

@HubblyBubbly said in Is sperm toxic?:

@peaty-runescape Not toxic per say, but sperm will fuse with somatic cells to create chimeric cells that seem to disperse around the body quickly, and there are a few studies showing that these chimeric cells proliferate tumors wherever they are concentrated.

Thanks for a thorough reply, but looking at the study in the tweet it seems to me "foreign" means different species, like hamster receiveing rat semen.

Also does a method of delivery matter? If its oral or delivered during sex to vagina.

So my friend listens to bap's podcast and said to me that he heard from podcast that sperm is toxic and woman who get alot of sperm are in bad health because of it. - it was mentioned in the ray peat carrot salad shilling episode I think

Does this have any reasoning? Intuitively, it seems to me like the reverse would make sense, as woman tend to crave semen from men they like.

@Terminator I tried buteyko but I get asthma attack with it as it makes me anxious.. but I drink sparkling water only pretty much..
maybe i dry co2 bath could help? there is only one spa providing it in my country and there isnt much info about it written honestly, I want to try it but at the same time im worried something would go wrong as they dont seem very qualified.

good luck hope you put it into remission!

so i am diagnosed with asthma. Now its the second time i got this phlegm i have to constantly spit out.. the last time i had it it lasted two months. i think it starts with a cold but then some inflamation happens.

i feel healthy, I can run and stuff, just I have to constatly use handkerchief and subtly spit out yellow phlegm. I also take asthma meds fostair and montelukast (this one is anti pufa i heard so I dont mind that).

i eat peaty and im a little underweight. any advice appreciated. ive been taking some methylene blue lately and it seemed to help.
