I have been on HRT for about a year and it’s helped me so much. Things went crazy last month and my symptoms came back with a vengeance. My doctor upped my dose for me. After a month it hasn’t helped at all. I was curious when other people have adjusted their doses, how long did you try it before moving up to the next dose? I am 45 and think I am about 4 years into Peri. I was feeling so much better after being on it. I wondered how long it took to figure out dosing and how many times you have had to change the dose since starting it. I was just wondering what other people’s experiences have been. TIA

HRT since about Nov 25. Never changed my dose and I have had a few weird symptoms the last couple months but it took months for my body to level out. I suspect that I’ve needed some HRT since I was a teenager.
Last month was 42 days, this cycle is 44 days and counting. My cycle used to be 25-27 days. I’m not pregnant. Any ideas why this is suddenly happening? Should I contact my gyno?

I don’t know if it’s just me but ever since having my little boy I feel like my body just cannot regulate my temperature well. I feel SO hot all of a sudden. It’s what I image it must be like to have a hot flush when you’re menopausal.
It’s horrible and I feel like I need to go and sit in the garden and wait for a breeze 😭
I never had this before having my little one and was just wondering if it’s something other people had too, or if it was just me!

Last year and this year my cholesterol showed up as high. It’s 233 mg.

Maybe tmi or weird?
But I’m 4m pp. My armpits never stink. All of a sudden they do. It’s only when I’m sweating and I tried reapplying my deodorant but I feel like it never helps. Any advice? Any deodorant recommendations?

Am I too young to be starting perimenopause. My mom and two of her sisters went through theirs early. And I'm about to be 31. I'm having so many symptoms. Hot and cold flashes. Smelling cigarette smoke and there isn't any. Brain fog at its worst. I need advice. Should I talk to my doctor about me possibly being in perimenopause?

Be honest—why is it so hard to put your phone down?
Is it boredom, endless scrolling, notifications, FOMO, or just a habit you can’t seem to break?
What’s the #1 thing that keeps you coming back?
I’d genuinely love to hear your experiences. 👇
