Hello ladies, I have been suffering with perimenopause for 6 years now and every year seems to keep getting worse and worse. My biggest complaint is gastro symptoms (im nauseated 24-7, ive lost so much weight, I cant remember the last time my stomach growled and i felt hungry, everything i eat causes lower gut gurgling as well) The drs all say its prolly just anxiety and depression so ive tried antidepressants and they made things worse! Im so sick all of the time i cant go anywhere. Has anyone taken birth control pills and they helped with gastro effects of perimenopause? Im so desperate. 😦

    I have taken a pill with just progesterone, have also tried one with estrogen and progesterone. No difference. Like you, I have major gastro issues, rarely an appetite, and have lost way too much weight. It's incredibly frustrating.

      Exactly! Every woman is different, but they made no difference for me. I did start taking Theracurmin and it has made a slight difference.
