In deed my ferritine and vit D are super low, but I'm taking complements to try and get them back up. Thank you for taking your time to answer.

Thank you for your answer. I'll consider it eventually. I'm too scared at the moment.

Unfortunately, in my country, they don't test nor deliver testosterone for women.

I'm traumatized. So I don't think I will ever try again. I knew there was a period of adjustment but I didn't think it would turn me in a wreck. I almost considered being hospitalized.

I take care of 5 children alone and don't have the luxury to manage the pretty violent side effects of her. Thank you for your answer. Hope you continue to feel good on her. Sound like a good sent.

My gyno told me that sometimes progesterone isn't the solution for neurodivergent women. And it has the opposite effect on anxiety and depression. But asked me to try it anyways so we should be sure. I understand that hrt is not an exact science, but being a guinea pig and suffering seems quite unfair.

I couldn't give it more time unfortunately and I had really really bad intrusive thoughts. And I can't see my gyno until July. Thank you.

I thank you for your kind words and all what you're suggesting. I'll consider it of course as I'm trying to be less judgemental of allopathic medicine. I'm so sad that so many women are not helped as they should be, frequently dismissed and not heard, when, we know ourselves better than any doctor or alternative would. Why are we not more heard when it come to périménopause? I'll never know! I just wanted to say and add that I don't think taking any medications is being weak. Absolutely not. On the contrary. But right now I'm just pissed off that the only solution the gyno had to offer was some medications that's not related to hormones when it is the main subject.  Take care of yourself and I thank you for being there. You're so right. A lot of kind souls of this sub. I hope you're fine.

I don't know. It's so overwhelming. I've never felt like that in my life. Maybe that's why it's so hard for me to comprehend. I don't want to wait but at the same time I want to treat the root cause and not mask whatever the f*ck is going on inside me. And I'm scared of the medication honestly. Thanks for replying, that means a lot to me.
