She says the HRT will help with weight gain and insomnia

It’s a yes, no thing. They have to adjust your diet according to perimenopause.

I don’t want to go on weight loss drugs but that is my next step. I weigh more than i ever have

I haven't gain more than 5 lbs but no period for 3 months now. Is that Peri?

That is awesome progress!

Peri is brutal on us women, and all we've ever heard about is the Meno. I'm going through this too, and trying to figure out what the heck happened over night!

With so many products out there now, all I feel is confusion and frustration in knowing where to begin. 😭

P.s. I do not want to take another prescription drug.

So, I’m really late to this party, but i was having massive problems with thickening in my waist and hips and overall bloating. I’m in perimenopause too. I started taking supplements(my doctor saw and approved them- flo ovarian support and O positive Moto) and restarting dirty keto, I’ve lost about 12 pounds ( probably mostly water weight but I’ll take what I can get) over this past month. My period doesn’t last as long, and overall no bloating.

Same. Just got my hormones checked and I and high for all 3 estrogen markers and cortisol. Going to a specialist this week. So weird.
