Early Perimenopause - help!

I just turned 36 and am afraid I'm starting symptoms for perimenopause. I feel like I'm losing my mind! Everyday feels like an uphill battle to find the energy to go to work, be a mom to a toddler, and keep up with the house/cooking. I'm beyond exhausted, can't sleep because of night sweats, irritable, my anxiety is off the charts, and my mind is so foggy!! Ugh!
Has anyone gone through this yet?? Any recommendations on what to do?

Have you had your thyroid checked ? I thought the same and turns out I have an under active thyroid x

@Kerry My doc checked my t4 levels last year and they were slightly elevated. I reminded my doc of this but she's saying it's more likely perimenopause because of my age 🤷‍♀️

I would ask for a full blood work just to rule it out and that can also confirm early menopause too x

Usually birth control is the treatment for premature menopause

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
