Hello everyone, I am quite frustrated with all this reddit stuff, I really need the menopause subreddit back. It’s literally my best resource for meno info and being inaccessible has caused me some grief the last few days. I’m on patches and pills but atrophy is bad so I need info about using creams vaginally, when to have sex etc.
Edit to add, I’m on .1 estradiol patch and 200mg micronized progesterone softgel. I just started a compounded estriol and testosterone vaginal cream.
Edit again to add. My most important question is, when do I have sex if I’m using a vaginal hormone cream? Most helpful thing I found is don’t use it before sex and one said 12 hours after is fine. I am confused. What do you do if you are using vaginal cream for atrophy?
This is less than optimal, but I guess for now you can use https://web.archive.org/, it has most of the Reddit posts archived, and to find them you can just append site:reddit.com/r/menopause to google searches to find posts. If the comments don’t appear, you need to replace reddit.com with old.reddit.com when pasting the URL into the Web Archive.
Thanks for this. I couldn’t get it to work. Can barely figure out this site and posting and replies omg. Appreciate the response.
Okay, I’ll explain in more detail:
- Click this link https://www.google.com/search?q=YOUR+SEARCH+HERE+site%3Areddit.com%2Fr%2Fmenopause and replace YOUR SEARCH HERE with whatever you want to search for, or just remove it to see all posts
- Click on one of the results, you’ll see “r/Menopause is a private community”
- Copy all of the text in your browser address bar
- Go to https://web.archive.org and paste the text you just copied
- Before pressing enter, replace the “www.reddit.com” at the beginning with “old.reddit.com”
- Press enter, a calendar will pop up, click on any of the listed dates and you’ll see the post
Thank you for this, I’ll try again.
Edit, it did work, it wasn’t as hard as I thought.
