Hello 🙂 I don't even know anymore! I started with symptoms aged 42, but didn't have periods anyway (Mirena coil)... started HRT 3½ years ago (-ish, I think!), but still have niggly but manageable symptoms. I'm 51 now, so statistically I'm probably full on menopausal now, but HRT stabilises stuff so who knows?! 🙂

(HRT also helps prevent dementia, osteoporosis, cardiovascular issues, certain forms of cancer...)

I'll be posting some links to reliable information on HRT (and dispelling some myths!) over on our M-brace The Change group in the next few days 🙂

I'm post menopausal, still have horrendous night sweats, mood swings, aches and heartburn. Haven't taken HRT but would like advice on which supplements/vitamins to take 🤔

🙋🏻‍♀️Me too please!
I’d like to read more or know more about HRT.
I’m going through some crazy mom brain struggles…my babies aren’t even babies anymore!
So hearing anything that can combat this weird brain fog or improve my memory issue peaks my interest for sure! I’m really tired of finding the salt in the freezer or looking all over for my sun glasses and it’s on the top of my head! Lololol.

Peri. And I'm 50 with no indication of nearing the next stage!?

Hello. I'm new here. 53 and post menopausal. Started in mid 40s. This sure ain't for sissies. Lol the exhaustion and brain fog are the worst. Any ideas on combating it?

I'm definitely in the Peri stages. I'll be 49 in November and am really beginning to notice the changes. My constant hot flashes and huge mood swings are an indicator along with several months of no period, that I'm closer to the menopausal stage. This was an excellent post. Thank you

I'm 43 and I'm post menopause switching to an all vegan diet and very little sugar and cutting alcohol out of my life really helps with hot flashes! Hormone therapy did not work for me! Gave me a horrible mood swings

Hi I a new here,I am 42 and I believe that I am in perimenopause as my periods playing games for months now 🙂

I heard it causes cancer is this true?

Avatar

I’ll be 57 next month and I’m still in peri menopause. Wondering when I’ll make the transition?

I’m 50 and just started menopause. It feels like I don’t know my body anymore.I felt different for the last year which was the peri-menopause for me … hormone therapy kind of worked for a while but once I hit menapause nothing seems the same. Working right know on accepting this new stage and getting to know my body.

I've been in peri 2 or 3 years. Every time I have a period my hair falls out in handfuls for a couple weeks 😥

Avatar

my dr said I was in post menopause

Post menopause— no cycle for a year and a half. Symptoms have been much worse for me now than Peri. I’m 54.

Avatar

Peri menopause for me. I'm 51 and have had breast cancer, the endocrine treatment post cancer causes your body to start the menopause

I am post and lemme tell you, I wish I had folks to talk to about it cuz I felt alone in my shitstorm of a journey. I'm on the other side of things and feeling a bit more settled. It was a road that allowed me to heal from some deeply suppressed stuff and grieve(saying goodbye) to that part of my life, and I am so much better for it. Now I am trying to reconnect with me body and get to know her. She's bigger, more achy, and different. Breathing and accepting this new woman in me.

I luckily don't have any sweats or anything like that, but the brain fog and forgetfulness/anxiety is getting me even more worried.

Question… I am 39 and have been getting very weird symptoms. I still have a regular period but at the very end of my period I will get a bleeding friable cervix for a couple days with red blood. Anyone else experience this?
