4ish months post partum

Anyone else really struggling all of a sudden? Is there some hormonal stuff going on at this stage? It’s really took me off guard

Are there any legit work from home jobs that are entry level?

I suffer with chronic pain and mental illness and I struggle to get or hold a regular job, i desperately need to find something i can do from home no matter how I feel

Was your period normal in June?

I've seen several viral posts on Instagram talking about how so many women's periods were messed up in June (e.g. extremely short, had 2 in one month etc.)and it is a bit of a mystery as to why, prompting all sorts of conspiracy theories. I'm pregnant so I didn't get a period last month but now I'm curious if anyone here experienced a weird period last month!

New to perimenopause and not conceiving

I am not having a good time. I’ve conceived my daughter without problems. We decided to try for a second one almost one year ago and my period and myself felt different. I said a couple of times that I’ve had perimenopause symptoms but my partner, friends, family and gps didn’t listened. After being disregarded a couple of times in my surgery. We found out by going private that my AMH is lower for my age. I have used letrozole twice as my ovulation has become not reliable. Is anyone in the same boat? Last month was my birthday (37) and I feel very down and angry at myself. Has someone been in my situation successful? No one that I know is in the same situation as me , I feel so lonely..

Hey 👋

Looking for a bestie 😊

Is the liletta IUD making me hormonal

I had the IUD placed in February 2026 and I haven't had any major hormonal issues until now. I started my period June 22nd then stopped June 29th I started spotting again July 2nd and it felt like I was starting my period all over again I'm cramping but my hormones have been off the hook these past couple days I feel so emotional like I want to cry and I don't know why then I feel good then I feel like I want to cry I can literally feel my hormones shifting it's beyond uncomfortable. I'm not spotting anymore but still cramping and feeling sad

When did your period come back?

Mine came back after 4month..I had alot of feelings about it.

Help?

I’m 38+2 right now and for the past couple days I’ve been getting like hot flashes randomly and then shaking like im cold when im not. I’ve had some (i believe) prodromal labor cramps for 2-3 days, loose stool, kinda disoriented at times (mainly when i have the flashes), and insane pelvic pain/pressure. Anyone else have the same? How do i get it to go away? Besides water lol, i know thats everyone’s go to for a reply 😂

What really matters?

Apart from fame, money & Power. What else really gives life a meaning?

Menopause Symptoms 10 months post partum

Does anyone else feel like they are perimenopausal at 10 months pp?

The mood swings and hot flushes amongst other symptoms are driving me insane and im not sure if its just hormones still or something else is going on.

Im only 27 so seems unlikely to be menopause but cant shake the feeling its something more.

Mirena coil

The hormones 🤦

Is everyone’s hormones all over the place at the minute one minute I’m happy as Larry , then the next I’m crying then I’m happy then I’m sad ! Urgh 🤦

Duty of a woman

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

Periods

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

Homeopathic remedies

Has anyone ever tried treating PMDD or severe PMS by seeing a homeopath?
Looking for any experiences good or bad

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??

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?
