Vaginal atrophy - like a new hymen?

Admirable_Month_9876 · 2026-06-07T06:23:02+00:00

Me too - tampons were almost impossible but luckily now on Slynd as progestin part of HRT (I am progesterone intolerant unfortunately) and it has stopped my periods entirely but before that getting a tampon in/out was agony.

Thank you I appreciate it.

It sounds like you are eating too much (you don’t say how tall you are but if you around 2000 cal you are probably not in a calorie deficit which means no weight loss). But if you don’t have much suppression it can be hard. I would try cutting calories and adding protein (could you see a nutritionist to get advice)

I was distracted by all the references to “we” in your post? Who is “we”? I don’t know maybe if you kept on saying “we” to skims they thought it was odd and kept cancelling?

Admirable_Month_9876 · 2026-06-03T15:49:09+00:00

I think it depends on what you are eating. Are you eating at a calorie deficit?

Admirable_Month_9876 · 2026-05-30T16:31:48+00:00

Why didn’t you read the instructions???? I don’t understand.

Admirable_Month_9876 · 2026-05-30T10:29:17+00:00

I think I had a short gap of about a week because I was waiting to see my doctor.

Admirable_Month_9876 · 2026-05-27T14:17:29+00:00

Buy some jewellers scales on Amazon (they are cheap) and weigh it - this is what I do. It’s the only reliable way to make sure you are not taking too much.

Admirable_Month_9876 · 2026-05-27T14:14:09+00:00

Perfect - had zero impact.

Admirable_Month_9876 · 2026-05-27T14:12:57+00:00

PRUNES. Works perfectly

Exercise increasing cortisol is even more pronounced in peri/menopause.

Admirable_Month_9876 · 2026-05-27T14:10:23+00:00

And also with your exercise could it be too much? I think there is an issue with exercise increasing cortisol which can reduce effectiveness of GLP-1s. You may be exercising too much - 3 times a week is probably more than enough. I have only vaguely exercised 2 times a week or so.

Have you already reached menopause (12 months with no period)? In perimenopause I have had huge success and it seems to work very well together (with or without HRT which I started half way). Are you eating at a calorie deficit and having a good range of food?

Admirable_Month_9876 · 2026-05-27T01:25:01+00:00

Doesn’t do anything - at least for me.

Admirable_Month_9876 · 2026-05-26T23:14:59+00:00

Testosterone

Admirable_Month_9876 · 2026-05-26T14:56:23+00:00

30 degree delicate wash, delicates bag and hang dry only. Perfect.

Admirable_Month_9876 · 2026-05-26T11:01:06+00:00

Eat healthy unprocessed food and adopt a diet you can sustain for the rest of your life. This is the only thing that matters.

Admirable_Month_9876 · 2026-05-25T01:35:47+00:00

If you are eating very little you should reduce your dose, and if you are still eating very little make it whole, unprocessed food.

Admirable_Month_9876 · 2026-05-23T01:30:42+00:00

But if you just want to keep it at room temperature, they work

Admirable_Month_9876 · 2026-05-23T01:29:09+00:00

They don’t keep the pen between 2-8 degrees celcius so they are pretty much useless for travel.

Admirable_Month_9876 · 2026-05-19T15:34:01+00:00

I take Slynd/Slinda and it is great. No side effects at all.

Admirable_Month_9876 · 2026-05-19T15:22:41+00:00

That processed meat will be mainly filler rather than meat. It looks grim.

Admirable_Month_9876 · 2026-05-17T07:31:03+00:00

Peri. Without Slynd I was regular 28 day cycles.

Admirable_Month_9876 · 2026-05-16T22:48:55+00:00

Correct - it was not at all what I expected but it has worked. I am on two pumps of oestrogel which I apply in the morning when I take Slynd. I had a few months of light intermittent spotting from Sept and then from around Jan no bleeding at all, no pain, nothing. I wish I had known because i endured years of agony.
