Duty of a woman

I want to know as a woman, what do you think is your primary duty to your husband or partner?

Hi! Has anyone gotten a really light dark color period for only a day or so and it’s gone? This has happened the past two months I’ve gotten my period and that’s odd for me bc I usually have a longer week of my period and it’s heavy normally :/ anyone else experience this?
Thanks!

Period

How long did it take for your periods to go back to normal like fully normal pp?

Hope this is alright to ask

What age did you start going through menopause and what were the symptoms? I am contemplating a tubal but don’t want to modify my body. But if I have 20 years to go I don’t want more children. Despite not having a partner, most of my children were a surprise. Is it reasonable to think I can make it to menopause without sex? I don’t have or want a partner but I know 20 years is unpredictable. Sorry if I sound like a nut!

Homeopathic remedies

Has anyone ever tried treating PMDD or severe PMS by seeing a homeopath?

Periods?

Has anyone’s periods gone irregular? Mine were super regular post birth until month six when I definitely had a hormone dip and then I was ten days late and now month 7 I’m nearly 5 days late! I just hate waiting want it over and done with not sure if this is normal or not ?

Hormones

How is everyone generally feeling 16 months pp?

I’m finding that hormones still feel really all over the place mood is either really high or very very low a lot! Joints have awful aches and pains still. At what point do you start to feel a bit more level again??

Where my over active thyroid girlies at?!

My ex is alienating my son from me.

I found PlotTwist online, that helps with this kind of situation. It's quite new and has no reviews yet. You purchase questions to specific movies, watch the movie with your child and then use the questions for discussion. My boys are 9 and 11. What do you think?

Sex drive?

Anyone got their sex drive back? I couldn’t be more averse and I’m 6w pp now

Starting HRT

Hi ladies
I’m 45 and have been prescribed HRT today 🙂
Can I just ask - do I “just start” applying the patches tomorrow - or do I have to wait for my period or something?
I didn’t ask 🫢
Thank you

Low libido

Just wanting advice or to chat. Anyone can suggest any natural remedies that can help. This is becoming an issue In my marriage and my husband doesn't want to listen to anything about menopause he says it's BS and automatically dismisses any discussion about it. So just wanted to talk about it to someone who can relate...

Having a wobbly day

Having a hormonal day I think and I’m second guessing everything… does this breathing look normal? thanks

Perimenopause? TMI

Hi. I’m about to be 37 yrs old and I’m pretty sure I’m in perimenopause. Possibly for 1-2 yrs now.
Reason I think this: after I get off during sex and sometimes it’s a few times, after IM done my vagina dries up and becomes tight.
Yes I know about lube but even with lube it still is like my vagina is tightening up.
I’ve talked to my doctor and she says she never heard nothing like this and also recommended lube.

I’m just stumped. I’ve had the same partner the entire time.
This really didn’t start until after I gave birth in 2022 although I don’t remember the onset date.

Has anyone else ever experienced this?

Period rage!

Every single time I get my period lately I get so mf irritated and angry at literally every little thing 😩 I feel so mean and I hate it so much. It makes me want to scream and run away every time. Idk how to cope. Does anyone else get like this?? Or am I insane?

Hormone Rage

Anyone else’s hormones making them want nothing to do with their partner? Literally anything he says or does makes me go crazy 😵‍💫
