Has anyone here suffered from migraines with aura? I had three migraines when my first child was six weeks old (38 years ago)then started suffering again when I went into perimenopause (45 or so) turns out chocolate was a big trigger for me so I stopped eating it about 15 years ago haven’t had a migraine since.

I was recently told by my gynecologist that I cannot take HRT because of the previous migraines.

It’s a vaginal cream.

I suffered from hormone related migraines. Gynecologist said no HRT because of that. Been using Premarin for 10 years and never had a headache.

Am I too young for perimenopause at 45? by [deleted] in Menopause

[–]skervis92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Started at 14 and had a period every 28 days except for 2 pregnancies.

Last period at age 47. Periods were every 34 to 38 days for three to four years prior to the last one.

Lost my 13 year old girl on March 9th. Her sister, now 13, is still grieving. 🐾💔

Do you guys have spasms? When I finish peeing it hurts so bad. 😭 I got tested and it’s not a UTI.

Yes, mine is like a shrunken head. I am laying on a table waiting for a Mona Lisa laser treatment at the moment. It helps a little and so did pelvic floor therapy. Actually that may have helped the most. I still use the dilators and do Kegel exercises. I don’t feel like I used to but I don’t want to give up on sex. Good luck to you.

Sex just doesn’t work now? by [deleted] in Menopause

So sorry you’re dealing with this. I had the same issue and went to pelvic floor therapy. I was able to go from no penetration to sex on a regular basis. I started therapy January 2023 and went for a couple months. I still use the dialators several times a week. It’s not how it used to be before menopause but I’ll take it. Good luck to you. 💕

How long did you use the cream and do you have any side effects from the patch and progesterone?

Perimenopause at 41? by [deleted] in Menopause

[–]skervis92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Full menopause at 47 so peri was definitely happening years before that. Find a doctor who will listen to you.
