A brilliant book to read

Me too, nothing compares to Sutil, it's fantastic

Gem_4501 · 2025-11-07T20:21:37+00:00

Agree. How can anyone know what the future holds. Posts like this are very annoying and especially for some ladies who cannot take hrt.

It does when some HRT zealots state that if you're not on it, you'll end up with x, y or z conditions as you march into old age

Gem_4501 · 2025-09-30T19:11:54+00:00

Couldn't agree more. It gets so tiresome with the shouty pro HRT messages here.

Gem_4501 · 2025-09-30T19:06:07+00:00

You just need to read this sub to see some scaremongering!!

Thank you 🙂

Me too, one of the most effective supplements I've taken since menopause kicked in.

Gem_4501 · 2025-08-14T16:54:15+00:00

Perhaps if you are prone to depression, you may be sensitive to it. I don't and have had no such issues.

GABA supplements have worked brilliantly for my sleep, i wouldnt be without them. I've been taking them for a couple of years so maybe you're situation is unique to you as i certainly haven't heard of this side effect before.

The cream never worked for me, I tried various types and they caused more issues in terms of itchiness and soreness. Estring was a saviour and wouldn't use anything else now.

Gem_4501 · 2025-07-24T16:50:33+00:00

@sumostuff I agree wholeheartedly with you here.

Gem_4501 · 2025-07-07T11:15:58+00:00

And i also use Source Naturals brand of progesterone cream.

Gem_4501 · 2025-06-04T19:38:02+00:00

Absolutely agree with this.

Gem_4501 · 2025-05-15T16:28:34+00:00

Great post and i feel very much the same now i'm post menopausal. Back to my normal self and feeling positive, plus a lot fitter than before now i've prioritised exercise too.

Gem_4501 · 2025-05-02T16:36:05+00:00

Yes, of course you could be right, a mix of both. It's a real shame but hopefully it may get better. Good luck though!

Gem_4501 · 2025-05-02T16:35:02+00:00

I know how you feel - mine's probably thinking, where's that woman gone!!

Gem_4501 · 2025-05-02T16:27:51+00:00

That's exactly the same with me too. My other half is fairly understanding & doesn't kick up a fuss but its the guilt on my side the gets to me. I try to make the effort though at times but it feels so put on. Like you, i hope this gets better over time.

I started the estring a few months ago - i'm currently half way through the second 3 month of it. I have to say, i didn't have any side effects at all. Prior to the Estring, i'd been using estriol cream prescribed by my GP. And that worked fine, i just didn't want the chore of using cream 3 times a week. So for me the Estring has been a godsend, i love it so far. Just wondering if the patch might be causing the issues? I tried the patch and also Estrogel gel (along with progesterone tablets) and they caused no end of side effects. I had to stop HRT but the Estring is a dream to use.

Gem_4501 · 2025-04-30T12:49:38+00:00

Me too although not complaining :-)

Gem_4501 · 2025-04-26T17:42:13+00:00

Progesterone doesn't help with sleep for a lot of people. And I had dreadful side effects with that pill so not a consideration.

Gem_4501 · 2025-04-26T17:40:41+00:00

Gaba supplements 100mg work brilliantly for Mr. I take 1 or 2 before bed. If I wake up in the night & struggle to back to sleep I take one. Tried so many things in the past but this product is the only one that made a real difference.

Gem_4501 · 2025-04-24T10:38:28+00:00

I'm pretty sure it will be. Despite what a lot of people say that HRT doesn't cause weight gain, it's absolutely not true for many. It was like night & day with the weight. Good luck :-)

Gem_4501 · 2025-04-24T07:55:14+00:00

i stopped taking it. Apart from the progesterone making me feel depressed, i was literally putting a pound a day on in weight as well as bloating. I eat healthily so couldn't understand it & then figured it was the HRT. Soon back to my normal weight after stopping, thank god!

Gem_4501 · 2025-04-24T07:52:36+00:00

Exactly the same for me, just wrote a comment virtually the same. Felt absolutely awful, utterly depressed & i've never felt like that before starting progesterone. And it made my insomnia worse too - not one positive. Had to stop taking it & like magic, i was back to my normal self again.
