HELP - Pre Menopause
Posted , 3 users are following.
I am REALLY new to this and I would be grateful for any advice. My doctor thinks i am pre menopausal but was a bit aprehensive about saying it as I am only 37. For the past few months I have been feeling really tired, having headaches, bad anxiety and really bad mood swings, one minute I'm fine the next I am like a crazy woman....the next I'm crying and recently I have had really tender swollen breasts and nausea. So much so I have done 3 pregnany test (2 at home and 1 with the doc) all negitive. Is this normal?

well peri menopause is a feeling of anxiety, restlessness, hot flushes, night sweats,
irregular periods, sometimes for longer times, skipped, prolonged, etc etc..
i started peri at age of 40 ..
but the hormones actually begin to decline from the age of 35 they say..
hot flushes and night sweats are usually an indicator, these tend to happen in early peri menopause for alot of women ..
i took rainforest food Maca 5.1 capsules in early peri and still do.
also a Vit B6 ( 100mg) daily will help you

well the mini pill will also effect your hormones ..
I chose to have a natural menopause .. I started age 40 and had a natural steady hormonal decline ( peri menopause ) for 10 years.
i am post menopause now and age 50.
HRT was not an option for me, plus i personally wanted nature to take its course .. HRT replaces the declining hormones and when HRT is stopped the symptoms of peri menopause start all over again for many women, as the Hormones decline again..
thats all personal choice.
good luck

no .. Your not going crazy ... 😊
if you consider HRT do some research on it .. Types etc ..
there are many.. Premarin, Premique and Prempak C are Equine HRT
( made from pregnant mares Urine ) something Doctors fail to explain.
some women prefer the patch HRT as it is transdermal and doesnt go via the liver ..
i am post menopause and i didnt have HRT due to family health history and previous endometriosis in my thirties and personal choice as I didnt want it.
but.. Post menopause as i am now, i do use a kinder oestrogen called Ovestin Estriol vaginal ovules this is only as post menopause vaginal dryness can become quite painful and this treats that problem.. 😞
there are many options out there ..
just gen up on it all and see what you think is best for you ..
Gynos are more clued up than GP's generally .. ( in my experience)
i dont live in UK .. I live in southern spain
take care
