New Guest new questions confused

Hiya Barb,

Welcome to our wonderful peri / meno world!

Thank goodness you have found this forum there is nothing better than reading other ladies experiences! It will help you to confirm that you are not going silly but are just like the rest of us.

most doctors will not connect your symptoms to peri and may try and prescribe anti depressants or push you towards seeing a counsellor but only you know what you are feeling.

when I first started with the same journey I went and had all my bloods done to check all was well, and may be a good idea to do this but don't be surprised that your hormones come back as normal as from what I have learnt that until you are either 12 months without a period or on the very end of your peri journey.

all what you describe is what I have experienced and all I can say read all of stories on this forum which sound similar to what you are experiencing and hopefully it will give you some great advice.

Vit B min of 100mg, good magnesium chelate, omega 3 will be a good starting place.

if you have any questions then please do not hesitate to private message me and I will do what I can to put your mind at rest and share my experiences.

massive hugs Joy

Hi Joy I hope I did this right but yeah forgot my PW already lol  yes had all my blood work done and eat healthy take my supplements nothing as changed for me until this month peroid was finish ,TY for your words of encouragement this forum is big to find an answer 

 

If anyone as any insight why the change now would be helpful 

I'm afraid...like all of us here...you sound peri- or maybe full blown menopausal..the average age is 52 according to everything you read.....

you'd need a blood test and a chat with a sympathetic doctor to confirm it....and then decide how you want your journey to be going forward.......the "normal" thing is...there ain't no normal !! We are all total individuals in this phase of our lives. Keep a diary of your feelings, symptoms and difficulties and then take medical advice depending on how you feel.....

Many ladies have blogged here.....great advice and interesting histories to read.....

youre not alone and seek help if you need it.

good luck.

Yes ,TY, but how can I be full blown meno when I stil have a reg 30-32 day peroid? Had all the blood work done all normal levels Dr feels another 3 years before menopausal 

Yes there is a lot of great advice here ,bless this forum. But this dizzy upset stomach fuzzy head angiexty not letting up after 2 week done my last period like it always and before 

There could be other medical reasons for your bleeds??I had fibroids which bleed without a menstrul cycle.  if you feel rough.....ask to be referred to a Gynaecologist ? They would be much better informed about the whole thing, menopause and all.

take care of yourself.

Thanks 👍 I know my bleeds are normal periods. I'm the same for years only difference is I now every 30 days just had my pap and yearly testing all normal  the thing that's confusing it me is the difference  January peroid first time in ages no systoms at all then after my periods systoms came on never left  dizzy upset stomach Angexty restless sleep first time this happen waiting it see when my next peroid comes how I feel before and after , this sure is crazy stuff and so much concern on HRt soya black cohosh ,I take a woman's 50 plus daily a omega some times evenimg primrose oil  off and on drink a little soya milk off and on  not sure if any of it may good or help 

Could it be that you did not ovulate this month. That would affect your hormone balance and could be making you experience diffferent symptoms.

 The least day of my peorid was feb 5 th not due for another one for a while , interesting it see. When the next one is due if it comes or early maybe I was thinking, maybe this is my first time have a2 peroid in the same month but no bleed yet 

thnaks👍

I seen some where someone was asking about dryness new it this site .. But this is interesting ...Pros and Cons of Coconut Oil

For those looking for alternative remedies or natural lubricants, coconut oil has several advantages: 

As a lubricant to treat vaginal dryness, it moisturizes and soothes the vaginal area.

It is cheap, making it a cost-effective alternative.

It is antibacterial and antifungal, so it can be lubricating and prevent yeast infections at the same time.

It is easy to find in most grocery stores.

Disadvantages include:

It has a distinctive scent, which some may find off-putting.

It is not liquid at room temperature; however, it can be warmed up in your hands in less than a minute.

Barb, welcome!  

It is just like that, periods usually get really messed.  The symptoms get worse and better, they change, they stop, they restart.  Time makes them mild. But timing varies from  woman to woman, some take months, some years to move from peri to meno.  

Keep looking this website, you will find important information.  Keep in mind doctors not always agree those things are related to peri - they say it is from aging :S but we women have a clockin which we measure our own time and we surely notice the relation, is not it?! Research, so you will know what to discuss to your doc next time.   Good luck.

Ty👍👍yes time is the answer,  but I have not skip a peroid YET.. Yet is the key word or had hot flashes or sweats was thinking can I be one of the very few lucky ones not have go get them lol but read some women don't get them until they are menopausal
