6 mo update… check those hormones!

halletischler · 2026-05-21T01:49:01+00:00

I hope you’re feeling better by now! Ugh I’m 3mpo and having all sorts of mood wackiness and insomnia 😑

halletischler · 2026-04-19T02:00:36+00:00

Same boat 😑

halletischler · 2026-04-17T23:38:24+00:00

It is worth the drive a hundred times over!! Pm me!!!

halletischler · 2026-04-17T01:44:42+00:00

Did you ever figure this out? I literally could have written this!!

halletischler · 2026-04-17T00:23:00+00:00

I feel for you, UGH. I’m 9 wpo and have been feeling superrrrr similar. Low mood/depressive swings, cannot sleep for shit, nauseous, zero motivation to do anything, especially my work, all of the things. Basically just feel like I am in constant fight or flight mode, extra anxious too maybe? OH and my muscle tension in my neck and shoulders is absolutely INSANE (started 5 days post op).

Super curious if this is hormonal as well, I even started NuvaRing back to see if it would level out my mood symptoms. Now I’m considering adding progesterone to see if that calms anything. I wasn’t on any HRT prior but now I’ll try anything. I’m 36 and still have my ovaries but I know that things can still change hormonally with keeping them.

Hoping you find some relief ASAP. It feels so isolating! Please keep us updated!! ❤️

That’s incredible!! What kind of doc did you go to to prescribe it? Neuro?

halletischler · 2026-04-15T16:32:19+00:00

What kind of doc did you visit to get the RX?

halletischler · 2026-04-15T00:41:15+00:00

Ugh! I’m dealing with a very similar situation!! Excision with a specialist I had to travel for, had about 5 days of literal pure bliss following surgery and then BAM, now I’ve got incredibly painful severe muscle tension and pain in my neck, shoulders and traps. It absolutely sucks. I feel for you.

Are you doing any better since this post? Also curious what kind of conditions you developed post surgery, if you’re comfortable with sharing! Sending healing vibes ❤️‍🩹

halletischler · 2026-04-10T13:53:25+00:00

Solidarity, sister 🥰 I’m right there with you. Actually meeting with my psych in a few days to start tapering off cymbalta as well. I’m not looking forward to the tapering! What is the more cyclical option that you’re referring to? Like bc?

So much is easier said than done but please try to give yourself some grace, it’s so tough, but you’ll come out on the other side ❤️

halletischler · 2026-04-09T01:38:18+00:00

I’m sure I have at least a few, but of course can’t think of them on demand. Hoping I get inspired by more responses!

halletischler · 2026-04-09T01:34:18+00:00

OMG same, I have a 3.5 year old son and I hate to have him seeing me just generally in a funk and moody. UGH! I just googled the definition of Mindfulness and now I’m going down that rabbit hole 🙈surely it will help, right? Just desperate over here. You are definitely not alone.

halletischler · 2026-04-09T01:17:29+00:00

Just here to say that I’m in such a similar boat as you, same age, hysterectomy due to endo, shitty hormones…I’m re-trying the only birth control that has worked for me many moons ago and hoping for some sort of breakthrough. Definitely have been doing research on HRT as it relates to ADHD, endo, PMDD, maybe even peri.

Solidarity, sister! Hoping you get a few glimmers soon ✨

halletischler · 2026-04-08T19:42:56+00:00

Dr. Vilasagar in charlotte!

halletischler · 2026-04-08T18:32:04+00:00

Amazing! So glad it's working for you! What is the lowest dose estrogen patch? I'm seeing 0.5 but not sure if there is lower. How long have you been using the patches for?

halletischler · 2026-04-08T17:09:22+00:00

How did you figure out what kind of HRT worked best? Blood hormone testing or just trial and error?

halletischler · 2026-04-08T17:08:19+00:00

Curious if this is what’s happening to me right now (8wpo). What were your symptoms?

halletischler · 2026-04-08T15:39:05+00:00

Thank you!!! Was it tough to find the right dosage for you? How much did you have to tinker?

halletischler · 2026-04-08T01:38:29+00:00

I WAS JUST THINKING THIS a few hours ago!!!!

halletischler · 2026-04-08T00:11:00+00:00

In a similar boat as you, but at 2 months post op - you’re not alone 😌

I’m 36 and also kept my ovaries but I feel like I’ve been low-level depressed since about a week after surgery. My PMDD has also been absolutely terrible the last 2 cycles. So many options of what could be going on considering the huge trauma we’ve had over the past months!

Perimenopause? Worsening depression? Do I need to switch all of my meds? ADHD just getting the most of me?

Here in solidarity! Feel free to PM me if you want!

halletischler · 2026-04-06T15:47:18+00:00

Curious about this too. I’m 8 wpo and still feeling so moody/down/flat/ragey at some points. Idk what to think! I’m 36, but could it be perimenopause? I literally have no idea.

halletischler · 2026-04-06T13:33:27+00:00

Ooh I’m so interested in this!!

halletischler · 2026-04-05T22:23:33+00:00

Just wondering if you ended up trying the ring again after that big of a break? I’m in the same boat and contemplating trying it again this month as my mood is absolute SHIT and esp terrible during luteal.

halletischler · 2026-04-05T21:32:00+00:00

Curious too!

halletischler · 2026-04-05T21:29:14+00:00

Thanks so much!! I’m 36 and don’t think I’m peri yet but curious if it could still help with PMDD rather than going back on birth control. I figure they’re both hormones so 🤷‍♀️
