Chemical/too faint?

I feel like I’m not progressing as much as I should. These are all FMU. Could this be a chemical?

For reals

Who has gone through this with whatever horrible symptoms you have had and what did you do to feel better!?

Vaginal estrogen has been a game changer for me.
There are other concerns now though …let’s hear it ladies !

PPD

How do you know you have PPD? Or you are just burnout or have maternal overload?

Hormones over 30? 🎢

Is it just me or have hormones suddenly taken complete control over my life? I'm talking - mood, skin, hair, diet, abilities, sex, you name it, my hormones have me by the balls 🤯

Hormone drop - 6 days pp

Hey, this is my second baby and my hormone drop this time around has been so much more severe.
I am thinking rationally and understand why it’s happening and to keep an eye on it but I feel like I spent most of yesterday in tears worrying about when my husband goes back to work and I’m on my own with a newborn and 2 year old!
Can anyone relate? Xxx

PP sweats

Did anyone else experience extreme hot flashes after they had their baby? I’m 1 year PP and recently the hot flashes have been getting so much worse. Has anyone else dealt with this?

Please comment when it went away or what helped you deal with it 😩 I’m so miserable I’m always dripping sweat!

Have you ever gotten a headache from an orgasm?

Yeah, yeah, I know orgasms are usually great for things like relieving headaches and cramps, but I *got* a headache from an orgasm. Devastating. Scary. Planning on following up with medical care if it happens again. Dr Google says they're more common in men than with women, but surely I can't be alone! It also said that if you already get migraines, you can be more prone to these kinds of headaches too 🫠

ADHD and perimenopause!

Did you guys know that if you have adhd that you are more likely to go through perimenopause starting in your mid 30s?!? I swear I had no idea until recently! It explains my hot flashes, night sweats, heart palpitations, and even my itchy ears!! It’s not fair!! 😩 my brain finished developing only for it to swing into perimenopause!! I feel too young to go through this but I’m 37 and have been suffering the last few years. Oh and cuz hormones in this stage fluctuates it’s not like i can get my hormones checked and get the answers and on top of that so many doctors don’t think it can happen this young!! So i figured i share this news with you all just in case you are like me and wondering why you are sweating in cold weather… 🙃

And maybe start talking with your mothers and daughters about this cuz im warning my daughter cuz my mom didn’t tell me shit about this phase and she’s dead so I gotta learn the hard way!

Is this thing on? 📣

Just joined the app thinking it would be very active and it’s crickets in here. I’m also seeing it’s more widely used in the UK vs US.
Is this just me or do I have settings wrong?
I’m 46 and in Peri 🙋🏼‍♀️

11 weeks pp and period has returned!

11 pp and my period is back already and I’m terrified. I was already an under supplier and I’ve tried everything to boost it. Is my period returning so early a sign I’m going to lose my supply altogether? 😭

I’m 38 and think I’m going through menopause! Help!

Help my period hasn’t come, it was getting lighter, darker and the frequency changed but I put it down to having a miscarriage. I’ve looked up symptoms of early menopause and I pretty much have suffered from all of the symptoms, in the back of my head I thought it could be happening but I’m so scared because I have one child but I don’t want that to be my last, I was hoping to try for another one at least! I’m so upset. Any advice??
