Thank you, Scarlet.

I hope so and yes, for progesterone. I can't take the normal treatment which is oral progesterone because of blood clot risk. She told me that in her opinion this is the best, safest option for me. I just don't want it. Then again, I don't want any of this, so... ugh. I've been reading about the side effects and one of them is depression! I want to say to her dude, I'm already fighting depression just at the
thought of getting the damn thing; how much worse will it be if I do?! Ugh.
