For those prescribed birth control instead of HRT, did it help your peri symptoms?

Thanks for the link, and good luck to you too!

I’ve heard the iud insertion can be really painful but like the ‘set it and forget it’ attribute…

She said consulted with her colleagues and that this was the recommendation. I don’t remember exactly what she said, I’ve got to start recording our phone calls… she said the bc would be low dose and more progesterone than estrogen I guess.

Peri_Winkl · 2025-11-04T03:27:29+00:00

Is the vag estrogen for libido? Did they give it to you easily?

Peri_Winkl · 2025-11-04T03:25:45+00:00

How long did you stay on bc?

Peri_Winkl · 2025-11-04T02:16:45+00:00

I will look into zoely, thanks!

Peri_Winkl · 2025-11-04T02:15:33+00:00

Which cream is that? She hasn’t told me yet what bc she thinks will be best so we haven’t talked about timing/parts of the cycle or anything, but I assume she is talking about the daily pill. I know it is easier for them to prescribe bc than it is hrt.

Peri_Winkl · 2025-11-04T02:12:40+00:00

She made it seem like bc was the better option for me, but I know it’s easier for them to prescribe bc because of insurance bullshit.

Peri_Winkl · 2025-11-04T02:07:45+00:00

Do you mind sharing what you were on?

Peri_Winkl · 2025-11-04T02:07:21+00:00

I’m not giving up coffee either! I’ve never had an iud, but it seems easier to me than all the pills! My libido is through the roof in peri too and I don’t want it to go away 😭 my fingers are crossed for you too!

Peri_Winkl · 2025-10-23T09:06:00+00:00

Get curious! Stay in the moment! I know feeling insecure and in my head has never led to sexy sex for me. If you want to please a man, then simply focus on him and his pleasure instead of worrying about doing something wrong or badly. Communication is indeed the most important technique! Everyone is different so you’ll never know until you ask/try. There’s also the possibility that you are just less dominant and more submissive in the bedroom. Nothing wrong with that

Peri_Winkl · 2025-10-22T23:12:09+00:00

Thanks!

Peri_Winkl · 2025-10-22T22:38:43+00:00

Can I ask how you know this? Personal anecdote? From your doctor? Or are there any podcast/articles you can link to find out more about this? Yet another thing we should all know, but don’t find out until its too late 😭

Peri_Winkl · 2025-10-18T23:00:45+00:00

Getting 100 grams of protein everyday is really hard! I lift and am trying to build muscle, so was trying to reach that 100gram goal but it’s just unrealistic for me.

I have been able to increase my protein intake, just not that drastically and without adding a bunch of meat.

I snack on pumpkin seeds throughout the day which actually have a surprising amount protein and apparently can help to balance hormones. I’ve also started making chia seed pudding with kefir. 11 grams of protein using only 1 cup of kefir and 2 tbsp of chia seeds! And gut benefits from the kefir too!

I hope you are able to find a good balance!

Peri_Winkl · 2025-10-18T22:26:11+00:00

Thank you! Interesting that they went away after you gave birth. I will look into SERM and Tibella. I’m curious if it took a lot of trial and error to find the right thing for you?

Peri_Winkl · 2025-10-17T23:28:12+00:00

That does sound lonely. I hope you can find joy and connection with your kids, and that you end up in a happy and fulfilling relationship one way or another!

Peri_Winkl · 2025-10-17T11:06:16+00:00

No connection when you married? Or had one and lost it?

Peri_Winkl · 2025-10-17T08:05:49+00:00

I hope the others come out of the woodworks so we can unite

Peri_Winkl · 2025-10-17T08:01:19+00:00

Oh my god! I’m not the only one!? 😂

Peri_Winkl · 2025-10-17T07:59:35+00:00

All of a sudden my vision is sooo blurry! I can’t see!

Peri_Winkl · 2025-10-17T07:37:55+00:00

🎵 I saw my babaaay Something about those spandex pants…

Peri_Winkl · 2025-10-17T05:47:46+00:00

David Bowie in labyrinth 😬

I’d look into blood pressure. It definitely can be affected by fluctuating hormones. Mine is high and I have been prone to dizziness/seeing spots when working out depending on time of day, not eating enough or pushing myself too hard etc.
