    Dear Kris, I wish I knew the answers because I'm going through the same thing. Last Sat, I felt good now I'm back to these negative feelings. I'm envious of those who do not suffer from this. Have you tried hormone therapy, birth control or anything else?

      Well, the symtoms began late 2013. It wasnt until early 2015 that I was told I was perimenopausal but no questions were asked. It went in one ear and out the other thinking this only meant I prob couldn't conceive a baby. I continued my life thinking I was going nuts. Finally, I did the research, and went to my usual gyn for a PAP and told him what I was going through. A blood test again confirmed this. Hre prescribed me hrt but didn't start it last month fearing the side effects. I'm going to try it on day 16 as directed. I feel the symptoms started mild and have progressed. Maybe this means I'm almost at the end? Periods still monthly but sometimes a little early, never heavy though, thank God! Don't think I could take that too

      I'm in same boat Collen. I'm glad to read you're still having periods and tests showed you're in peri and doc prescribed HRT. I went to 5 different gynos and they all said no to HRT saying its for when my periods stopped and they all said to go on the pill. But I know from researching and reading on these boards that women get HRT in my situation too. So I was pressing one gyno on this and he needed to get to next patient and just gave me a prescription and didn't say anything and walked out the room. Thought he was coming back but never did. When I emailed him later to ask directions on how to take it like on what days he said to "do whatever you want it's an experiment anyway". So I haven't started it yet because I don't have support of any doctor but my symptoms were so bad this past month I'm gonna take them in a few days on day 9 or 10. I've read to take on day 14 or 15 but I think I ovulate earlier around 9-10. And I've read to take after ovulation. So basically on my own on this. If anyone has any suggestions I'd appreciate it.

      If I could use profanities to describe your last doctor, I would. I would call the pharmacy and maybe they can get an answer. Secondly, I would call you insurance co and file a complaint. If this jerk has a website, rate him and add a comment stating how professional he was!

      Cin, I'm supposed to start taking the progesterone on day 16. The clock starts ticking the first day of your cycle

      Thanks Colleen. I looked him up and he's gotten bad reviews on Yelp. He's part of a large multi-state medical corporation and people say it's all about the money and herding patients through. And it's true. I didn't feel it so much when it was just colds or a yearly pap that I needed. But anything beyond basic preventative care the quality care is non-existent I'm finding out. Sad thing is, in this area if I wanted to go to a private practice they are mostly all cash only. In every area of medicine private Drs are not accepting insurance!

      Anyway I'm at day 6 today and starting to get cramping and weepy already. And my period just ended on day 4. When I was younger I had one week after my period where at least it was better but now none. I hope that's a sign of menopause getting closer?

      This idiot doc should be working at a factory where his work doesn't involve patients health or well being. Some doctors have no right practicing medicine. Try the progestrone cream. I started it felt great then stopped because I felt tired but read up on it and it will initially make you feel worse but then is supposed to help tremendously. I'm bad about giving up on something too soon. Therefore, I'm giving it another shot starting tomorrow.

    Hi Kris, you came to the right place.....we all feel the same way that you do. You are very normal, even if you dont feel normal. You will have some good days and some bad days. Its a rough ride. Make sure that you continue to come on this site because there are so many beautiful ladies on here that are very encouraging and sweet. Try to stay positive and relax as much as you can. I will be praying for you. Take care!
