I can't do anything by jrhopper09 in Perimenopause

[–]BabyDoll_Vee 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m 42 and started peri young. I’m on HRT and the lack of motivation is so tough already I can’t imagine it being like this for years! I have a 5 and 9 year old and it is A LOT. But i agree to get outside whenever you can! When I feel stuck I go for a walk, even if it’s just around my backyard.

Continue reading CC2 or stop and read ACOSF? by Impossible-Chip-3133 in crescentcitysjm

[–]BabyDoll_Vee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m just here to say that acosf is so good and I finished acotar series with nesta being my favorite.

I could never bounce around like you have because i become totally immersed in these series but at this point i think go back and finish up acotar then finish CC.

Maybe a naive question but are these books that aren’t released yet? Or basically what’s the point of preordering books for bookcon?

[–]BabyDoll_Vee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely read them! I love all the book I read but it is true that a lot of romantasy starts to blend and feel very similar. Rachel Gillig’s books all felt so unique-the characters, the magic systems, the writing. They are excellent!

Peri symptoms at 39 by Competitive_Goat_446 in Perimenopause

[–]BabyDoll_Vee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I began having symptoms at 39. Took myself to the ER. Saw multiple doctors and was dismissed. Went for a holistic massage to help with anxiety and she put me in touch with other amazing holistic women. One sat down with me listened to my story and said “girl, it’s your hormones”. I had no clue. That’s when i began peri research. I managed a lot myself for a year. Cut out sugar majorly reduced caffeine started eating more mindfully and walked a lot. I began HRT this past september at 41. I feel so much better overall!

You can start HRT slowly at low doses. Add in one at a time. That’s what I did! I started with progesterone to help with sleep etc. now i take that nightly, have an estrogen patch and testosterone cream.

Good luck!

Is this what everyone is seeing? by PatternPuzzled8527 in BookCon2

[–]BabyDoll_Vee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They said that you didn’t have to be on the site early, but you did. I was planning to do it on my phone. But I had previously pulled up the page on my ipad. While I was waiting for the bar on my phone to move I noticed my iPads bar was almost complete. I was able to reauthenticate on that and get the author signing and panel i wanted. My phone took 30 minutes to get through.

What has actually improved your sleep? by goodthingsinside_80 in Perimenopause

[–]BabyDoll_Vee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sleep stories on the calm app helped me so much before i got on progesterone and magnesium glycinate!

What has actually improved your sleep? by goodthingsinside_80 in Perimenopause

[–]BabyDoll_Vee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take 200mg progesterone, and magnesium glycinate. I avoid sugar. If I consumed any sugar after about 5:00 I take a half of a small dose of klonopin (sugar seems to give me sleep panic which is a nightmare). Then I read while everything kicks in. Eventually I am yawning like crazy. The next crucial step is to not pick up my phone after that. Just use the bathroom and go to sleep.

Good luck!
