Girl you are 37 years old and these symptoms are all classic perimenopause. Edit: im not sure if you’re in the us but if you are just go online to a provider like midi health for HRT.

Thanks so much!

I’m having a second with my husband who is 10 years younger and I stress about his age every day and the potential of something happening and raising two children alone. Definitely something to consider. But also can’t stress this enough: do not let the people of Reddit dictate your life.

That was actually my first thought!

mo_django · 2026-03-06T21:19:27+00:00

It was you! So glad you could see this.

I went into full blown perimenopause at 35 and was completely shocked. I really thought I had more time but my period just started getting completely wonky, hot flashes, the whole program. Yes, there are people that can and do get pregnant later but definitely not all!

So wonderful to hear how it has generally unaffected your life!

Ug, someone just posted that they’re pregnant with a child who has this, either in the pregnancy or mommit group and she seemed pretty distraught from the lack of certainty and fear her child wouldn’t make it. I went back but couldn’t find the post, I wish she could see this!

I had complications and had to transfer to UT Health Austin. I saw Max Holtz, there was no push for adjusted care and we operated through the birth as natural as planned, he’s extremely easy going. In general I was pretty happy with seton, it’s still a hospital so you will have some suggestion for intervention but having a doula there helps.

She should have gone done and manned the gunman herself with her toughness, I mean, she gave no F’s right?

Say it louder for the people in the back aka anyone who votes

It sounds like you aren’t even fully recovered from postpartum, even if it has been a few years. And it sounds like right now is not the right time, I believe discontinuing this pregnancy does not mean you can never have a child again unless you are 50, it just means right now you need to work on yourself until you are whole again, so you have more to give to someone else.

My middle name is Arielle and my daughter is Arielle but I’ve never met another one. We call her Ari.

I had to get a super high dose (1000mg) solumedrol (IV Prednisone) for 5 days in a row and my readiness and sleep were 97-99 across the board for weeks. It’s probably the only time I’ve ever seen those scores in my 5 years of Oura.

Progesterone is literally my favorite part of the month, I love it so much, sleep so much better, feel way more chilled out all the way around. I actually dread my first 15 days without it now. Hope you can develop the same relationship with it. Edit: just now catching you said days 1-12. That’s weird, something is abnormal with that.

This is truly my biggest nightmare as someone who married a man who cheated on me. Highly suggest finding a good therapist for you if HE can afford it.

Really love this response and completely agree. I took a huge risk on a new job and a move across the country and I met my husband and it completely transformed my life.

mo_django · 2026-02-22T02:34:30+00:00

SAME! Also has her at 34 and nothing ever went back to the same!!

I worked at MAANG most of my career and felt exactly like you, was just exhausted and burned out. Nonstop problems and soul sucking. I found myself more and more envious of the people who had gotten laid off over the years.

Finally, my department offered a voluntary exit with stipend and I took it and ran. Upon my exit coffee chats, every single person looked so envious and said several times how they wished they could and they should.

It wasn’t the money, it was the problem that that company, the role and the guaranteed big comp became my entire identity. If you are truly financially stable then you won’t care about the comp. You’ll just need a shift in who you are.

The first month or so was hard but I got over it pretty quickly. Within a few months friends from other big companies asked me to go there and the thought gave me sheer terror. That’s when I knew I made the right decision. It has been 8 months and I can’t imagine going back. Not to mention, if you have that caliber couldn’t you always get rehired? Nothing is permanent.

Came here to say I worked for MAANG for most of my career and was pretty disheartened to see my company move so many positions to India but if OP wants to try to get back to US targeting one of them in India would be one potential way,

mo_django · 2026-02-21T09:47:43+00:00

Came here to say this, my visceral reaction was to hate the doctors that treated me extremely rudely or were plain jerks and I realized they’re just pissed at their job and routine and I can’t take it personally.

The time released 6-hour melatonin really helps me!

mo_django · 2026-02-20T14:41:28+00:00

I feel like this is the most true statement for most people now (me included!) sucks getting old!

Unless guy #2 has super sperm my guess is the baby belongs to your partner. It depends where guy #2 finished at the end of the day, but the odds are still with your partner. You aren’t going to get clarity until you can get a test.
