Hi Linda

Hi Jay,

It must be a relief to be post meno but it seems the symptoms take a while to go. I'm still in peri and hate that shakey feeling. the fatigue can be so draining.

Hi ruthie 

think i preferred peri to post meno

Hi Jay awwwww nooooooo  I do find the hot flushes bad in summer but since here in the UK we don't get much 'hot' weather it's not as bad as you are experiencing  I take multi vitamins and  cod liver oil

Hi linda 

Vit E 400iu is helpful 

i stopped having flushes mid peri, and they came back post meno

i use to take a supplement called Estroven Max and never had one flush.

think i may be getting me some more 😑

jay x

Oh thats good to hear - I'll give it a go  

Never heard of Estroven Max will have to check it out with HB here in the UK..........Thanks for this tip xxx

Jay do you mean oestrogen?? Is this possibly an oestrogen supp?

Hi linda 

dont think H&B sell them

no they are not an estrogen .. They are just called Estroven ..

rainforest food Maca 5.1 capsules ( amazon ) are good too

and B6

Estroven ingredients 

Ingredients

Each caplet contains: Vitamin E 30IU; Thiamin 2mg; Riboflavin 2mg; Niacin 20mg; Vitamin B-6 10mg; Folate 400mcg; Vitamin B-12 6mcg; Calcium 150mg; Selenium 70mcg; Estroven Calming Herbal Blend (proprietary blend of Date seed extract [ Zizyphus spinosa ] and Magnolia bark extract) 150mg; Isoflavones (from Pueraria lobata root extract and GMO-free soybeans) 55mg; Black cohosh root standardized extract 40mg, Boron 1.5mg.

Estroven helps to naturally support hormonal balance with ingredients known to be good sources of phytoestrogens. Phytoestrogens are naturally occurring compounds found in many plants including soybeans, whole grain cereals, seeds, nuts and many herbs. Phytoestrogens have a structure similar to that of the estrogen produced in your body and help support hormonal balance.* Studies have shown that women who consume foods high in phytoestrogens experience less dramatic hormone fluctuations during menopause.* 

Ok thanks Jay I'll certainly look into this thank you

We women go through sooo much  

Lol xx

Awwww thank you

xxxx

I know we do, men dont know they are born..

' Its pants' 

Lol

Very true

Ladies, as awful it is for us, unless we have any severe vaginal problem, we can have sex until we are 80 - not that we will want to, lol.  Poor guys, I pity them...  Many can not have sex around 50 anymore, and many women are not understanding - would I be? i hope I do not have to figure it out.  And they develop depression as same as us, because of hormonal umbalance. I think,  in the end, we are the lucky ones - we have babies, we live longer, WE ARE SMARTER, lol.

I get that shaky feeling, too!!!
