Hi everyone On payday Wednesday I took a We Test Bio Fsh Perimenopause Rapid Test Midstream Test Kit from TerryWhite since I had symptoms and it showed up saying i have perimenopause in its results within 3 minutes. Today I’m getting a blood test done with the same test included along with a few extras test.

6 months pp. still no period.

I have always been super lucky (or so I thought!) having light and short periods (talking 2 days), and I don’t suffer with horrendous cramps or anything just fairly standard period pains. I get super painful boobs from about 2DPO until my period has finished… and all I have read as that this could be hormone imbalan...

I swear there's a line there but it's a real squinter.... I'm 15 DPO, day before my period is due. Shouldn't this be darker?? 😩 I've had a few chemicals in the past and I just want this to be the one that sticks 🌈 ❤️ 🙏

I hate to wearing tampons, always have my whole life but more so since having a baby! We go to Europe soon and am due to have my period once while beachside. Any tips on how to deal with this?! 🫠🫠

I’m almost 7 month pp and my periods seem to be coming every 8-10 days 🥲 they’re lasting around 6 days but is this normal? I also breastfeed at night so I thought this was meant to reduce them. Also on the mini pill but started this just after I gave birth

How do you get tested for hormonal imbalance ?? I just quit breast feeding in June and I feel like garbage, has anyone experienced this before ? How long does it take to get over it ? Tia

Are you meant to have periods on this HRT? I haven't had any so wondered what others are like on this regime. Thanks.

Hi all, I’m waiting for my blood test results at the moment to look at my hormone levels but i’m so fed up. After being regular (to the day) with my periods pretty much since I started them - all of a sudden i’m having 25-28 day periods, brain fog, hot flashes, random nausea and extreme tiredness. Had ultrasounds d...

period was due 4 days ago should it be darker

I'll be 37 in a couple months and over the past year my periods which have always been like clockwork, 28-32 day cycles have since postpartum turned into 19-24 day cycles. And my periods have always been 7 days so I literally bleed half the month! I haven't seen an gyn about it yet but I started using progesterone c...

Anyone else wake up drenched in sweat at night? I read online that it has to do with hormone levels changing... I wonder how long it is going to take to settle because I can't just change my sheets daily 😅

I’m finding this week (35 weeks today) extremely hard hormones wise. I can’t stop crying, feel super isolated and down - anyone else getting an intense hormone surge around this time?? This is my second and I don’t remember this last time. It almost feels like the “day 3” hormones if anyone recalls these from prev...

Miss my period , going on the 3rd day !!!! Ahhhh 🫣

😭 I got my period at 4 months pp. but I had my period two weeks ago and now I have it again. wtf?? 😭

I am 11 months pp and my period started when I was 4 months pp. From then I have got period on my 27th , 29th , 30th day . Now it's been 32 days and still no period. The pregnancy strip showed negative too . Is this normal ? My period was regular before pregnancy

how long did your periods last when you got them? i got my period at 6 weeks pp and i’m currently on day 6 of it and i’m going out of town next week and just hoping it’ll be gone by then

Normally my periods are like clockwork but today for the second time in 3 months my period has started 5 days early, has anyone else experienced this?

I’m on everol 100 + Utrogestan days 15-28 but my periods are irregular eg I’m supposed to be on day 15 today but my period has come early this happens every few months so my question is how to take the Utrogestan when period is irregular obviously there’s no point taking today as I’m actually on day 1 of my ne...

I may have to come off HRT ( long story) so looking at herbal alternatives - any recommendations ie Starpowena etc etc that have worked for you? Thanks 😊
