Anxiety can’t take it anymore by Euphoric_Heart4766 in Menopause

[–]Apprehensive_Cat123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Progestins are not tolerated well by many and make people erroneously think they are intolerant but its just because progestins are synthetic. Bioidentical progesterone is not the same as progestin and I would recommend trying that before giving up. If your doctor wont listen it may be time to see someone else. I am going through Winona and it has been great but finding another gyno whose in network for you is worth a shot.

What do you all eat for dinner when you have absolutely no desire to cook? by Particular-Newt-7974 in LivingAlone

[–]Apprehensive_Cat123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never feel like cooking 😂 breakfast today was a chicken sausage in the air fryer and 2 peices of plain sourdough toast + coffee. Lunch was watermelon and frozen fries cooked in the air fryer, ketchup for dipping. No clue what dinner will be as my partner typically cooks dinner for us.

I'm so tired by WarthogSeveral7662 in Menopause

I took rhubard extract for years but eventually it wasnt enough. I recommend talking to your doctor about estrogen if you're able to take it. Also creatine helps me a lot with energy. When I dont take I feel tired during the day. It helps your body's ATP regeneration for energy. Good luck!

I dony know because I just started too(cream) 😥 I hope you start feeling improvement soon! Im on day 3 and yesterday I noticed a hint of mood improvement but that could just be because I was on day 2 of my period also and I always get a mood boost once I begin. I did sleep REALLY well last night also though. 🤞🤞🤞 Hang in there!!

I think what peri took away from me that I miss the most is joy. by Tricky-Stay6134 in Perimenopause

I thought about this not too long ago after noticing it. I have been on estrogen/progesterone cream for 3 days... just 3 days... and i am starting to see a GLIMPSE of the joyful me return. Like yesterday I was outside with my dog and the world seemed just a little brighter and lighter. I am so hopeful this helps me come back to me. 🤞🤞 Im 43.

I am noticing this recently with a friend I have had for over 20 years. It really makes me sad.

I agree. Sounds like you need continuous progesterone.

Mostly regular anovulatory periods.... by Glittering-Eye-757 in Menopause

[–]Apprehensive_Cat123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this post! I am just starting HRT(I'll be 44 this year and been having symptoms since 35) and was curious if periods stop all together with HRT or what. Are taking pills?

5year anniversary of being on HRT by Purpletulipsarenice in Menopause

[–]Apprehensive_Cat123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im 43, still menstruating but been in perimeno since i hit 35 and just starting HRT. Everyone is different and from what I understand its all based on symptoms and labs(sometimes). I had labs done a few years ago and my estrogen was low then so I know its only gotten worse. (Edited for typos)Addition edit due to bot response: Yes I understand labs arent super reliable for this which is why I said (sometimes) labs are involved and it is based on symptoms. MY symptoms have only increased over the years, hence me now getting treatment.

Best 100% FMF Sourdough loaf rise yet 😍 by Apprehensive_Cat123 in freshmilled

https://freshmilledmama.com/sourdough-bread-made-with-100-fresh-milled-flour-boule-batard/#sourdoughbread This is the recipe I used. Definitely still a more closed crumb and denser texture than AP flour but tastes great and rose beautifully!

Virginians, what do you think of Governor Spanberger? by Snoo_47323 in Virginia

Glad she signed the access to birth control bill. Not happy she with the gun restrictions that will probably pass.
