Very tough stage..😢

I am 50 years old and really suffering. It’s horrible 😢 I have road rage and anxiety. I want to literally smack all the bad drivers 🙈 I have severe depression and irritability. I’m angry with everything. I don’t think that this decade of my life is for perimenopause and menopause it’s a waste of time and life. This sucks and not fair. I want my life back. We can’t go back to this era and I want to enjoy this chapter of life. There has to be a better solution. I pray HRT will solve these symptoms 🙏🏼

I thought this was from the progesterone fluctuations.

I refuse to use unnatural things to fix this issue. I switched to a carnivore diet. Then I supplement with iodine and DIM. It's a slow process but the blood clots and excessive bleeding have stopped and I'm no longer anemic. I have other symptoms but they are slowly improving.

Omgeez. That happened to me! 😢joint pain- I had inflammation but dr couldn’t pinpoint and Rx me muscle relaxers.

I am 48 this year. My symptoms pretty much started when I hit early 40s. Everyone brushed it off saying it's not possible; too early. You will only feel the impact when you hit 50 or 55... anyway my face broke out super bad with rosacea. I didn't know what happened but it got worst during covid. I went to doctors, specialists and dermatologists and tried so many types of medication. And I was kinda bloated with water retention. And the biggest downfall was I took some contraceptive Diane 35 supposedly to help my acne. Unfortunately everything went south. Face got worse plus I had very bad side effects like mood swings, my sleep badly affected, my muscle cramps even when i was lying down doing nothing. Its crazy... i felt lost. I think the added contraceptive got my hormones even more messed up. I had to stop after being on it 5 months. All these symptoms were stripping me of any hope, and my esteem was sooo low. I didn't go to work or out much. Fast forward. I found out I am really suffering from premenopause. Started taking a number of supplements that I believe help me tremendously. I took • life extension inositol and • started shaklee menopause complex • Suntory Sesamin Ex. I felt so much better and finally able to sleep. My energy slowly return. I was lucky to get these sorted out in time cz in early 2023 my mom stayed with me throughout her cancer stage 3 treatments and my teenage daughter was diagnosed with anxiety disorder and subsequently depression. It was so overwhelming and I am sure if I am still suffering badly from my premenopause symptoms. I would probably drown. I am not totally out of the woods yet cz I do get the flush and moody moments. But I keep reminding myself to count any small lil blessings that comes along. I sometimes wonder how the women of the past handle all these without knowing much about premenopause. They are really amazing.

❤️❤️❤️

Thank you so more for this information. You are doing incredible work.

I’m noticing a lot more medical “professionals” not wanting to physically exam patients. Only tests and fees. Exhausting.

I am bleeding so badly rn. I'm passing clots the size of oranges and I've bled through my clothes twice today. I need help. I started with two heavy periods a month. My gyno started me on HRT 50 estrodiol patch and 100mg nightly of Prometrium October 5, 2023. She suggested the Mirena IUD. I had a terrible experience with the Mirena about 10 years ago. I had it for 9 months and I bled everyday that I had it in, cystic acne, migraines... The only reason I kept it in so long was because it cost $500 so every month I would say one more month hoping things would improve because my gaslighting doctor kept telling me it would. Fast forward to recently my gyno said she would give me one at no cost. She said hormones change and it would be worth a try. I agreed and had it inserted on October 18, 2023. She told me to stop the Prometrium that I started on October 4th. I was bleeding when I had it inserted. I have bled everyday since. I held out 7 months and had it removed on May 17, 2024. I started on 100mg of Prometrium nightly again. My Estrodiol patch was increased in December 2023 to a 75 patch because I was still experiencing vasomotor symptoms plus migraine. I was having 15+ migraine and headache days a month. 50 estrodiol patch decreased my migraine days but 75 has been a huge improvement. A couple weeks ago my gyno suggested trying a new patch Estalis 250/50. She thought the increase in progesterone would help with the bleeding. Of course I am willing to try anything to stop bleeding. I didn't look into Estalis. I presumed that all patches were made with bioidentical hormones. Sadly the Estalis combi patch is a progestin NOT progesterone. Attaching a picture to show what happened to my face within a week. I started the patch on a Monday by Wednesday the following week my face had cystic acne all around my mouth and I had a migraine that lasted Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and another on Sunday. I compteplated putting the Estalis back on last Monday on change day to give it another week. It did decrease my bleeding to spotting a couple days but I couldn't do it. The migraines are debilitating. I thankfully had some 75 estrodiol patches so I put that back on and called my gyno to say I couldn't do the Estalis. She called me a prescription in for the 75 patch and I started on 200mg of Prometrium nightly. I have been bleeding heavily since. What a mess. Because the gyno made the choice to start me on HRT and the IUD at the same time I don't know if my bleeding is from the HRT or the Mirena IUD. I had the Mirena removed 2 months ago but have read testimonials from women that it took some a few months to completely rid their bodies of the hormones from the Mirena. I can't remember how long it took to stop my bleeding last time I had it removed. Some women are telling me that my bleeding is from the HRT. The only way I can know is to completely stop everything and go through the Hell of my migraines and symptoms returning. My workplace is not understanding at all. They took an entire day a week from me last year without consultation. When I asked they said it was for missed days. I only missed 4 days of work in 10 months. I had to work many many days with migraine. The 4 days I missed were because they were unbearable. I got the day of work back because I fought for it. I don't want surgery either. I'm scared. I literally have the worst luck of any person that I know.

Thank you for sharing. I can so relate to you. Some days it feels like insanity.

God help you my poor love ❤ ! I know EXCACTLY how you feel. X

I can totally relate 💯💯💯no one understands what we are going through 😢 it is horrible I just want my life back 🙏🏼 wish there was a law for women to make companies be educated about women health issues 🥹 we really battle .

❤ Music is too loud! 😮 The music drowns out the voice we need to hear. Please help.😅

This is a really great explanation, thank you

Yep it’s strange how the medical and society are perfectly ok with women enlarging or reducing their breasts if they are too big but removing them it’s almost considered a crime.!!!!

Did you drop your dose at any point? I had a similiar reaction so I am currently taking 10 mg. I'm starting an antidepressant tomorrow. I hope that allows me to get back up to 20 mg.

In the last year I have bled through my clothes several time. I’m a high school teacher and it’s seriously affecting my life. I can’t go more than 2 hours without needing an emergency change, I’ve started bringing extra clothes to work. I went on a 3 hour car ride and bleed through my shorts and the car seat. I also stopped dying my hair and let my silver shine through.

I feel your pain, I’m so sorry for anyone who goes through this shit ❤

My coworker continually asks what i did over the weekend. Nothing, you terd. Nothing. My life crumbled at menopause.

Thank you for making this video. I had a bilateral salpingo - oophorectomy (BSO) when I was 25. The doctors found out I had endometriosis during that surgery. Its 12 years later and I'm finally on HRT that seems to be working and helpful for my whole body. I appreciate your video because it brings light to a condition many women go through but don't always have a lot of support for or even understanding about what happens next. This woman's experience gives me some additional ideas to speak about with my doctor. Thank you again !

Yeah they didn't warn me about this. lol All I ever heard about was hot flashes hot flashes. This is not fun!

And some are treating BEING a woman as a "fad"...... UGH!! >>:((

My rational self says this is menopause, but my anxiety says but what if it's not, because all this blood is not normal. I had terrible clots about a year ago, now I just bleed nonstop and it looks to me like it's just blood. I don't want to see a GP. I'm not registered for a start, and it's too hard to get an appointment anyway, and even if I jumped all these hurdles and I finally got to see one I've never found one that is actually helpful in the past, so what is the point. I'm 51, and I also have no desire to be prodded either. Feel like I'm done with all that - can't face it anymore - so I just leave it and hope it will end one day.

Menopause is so difficult. I had no idea. Thank God for platforms like this where people can share so others understand they are not alone. I can relate to every word she said.

Yeah so I just wee'd on my car seat. So i thought I'd look this up lol

I bled for five months solid after getting an IUD and eventually my body rejected it. At the end of my IUD journey, I ended up bleeding for four hours solid sitting on the toilet in the middle of the night until it finally fell in the toilet. Definitely not for everyone, but I have heard glorious wonderful stories from the people who it actually works for.

Good luck to all of us! my journey started at 38 I saw a lot of gynecologist and all said Im too young for perimenopause, now I am 44 and the joint pain is just there it does go way after menses but not this month I just been crying because the blues or anxiety didn't go away either.

Hows HRT working for u sweetie? I'm really going thru the menopause myself at 55 years old it's been tough and has changed my life completely. I had a full hysterectomy at the age 49 because of high risk for cancer. I tried bioidentical HRT a couple of years ago and just didn't seem to be working for me at the time but considering trying again. Even thou I'm not supposed to be on them. I've just been miserable and desperate. Depression and anxiety off the roof. I use to be very active. I was a person trainer and always into working out running was my life and in shape to now not being able to do anything but walk and some yoga. I also have fibromyalgia which is horrible. Sending prayers u way sweetie. U are not alone in this. Thank u for the videos. Stay strong!! U got this💪🙏🙏❤️❤️

I had serious bleeding called a ambulance three times due to perimenopause my doctor pushed for surgery to get a iud best rhing ever

Thank you for this information!!! I can so relate and I’m 43.

There is not enough help to women during periods menopause in the health sistem and i know is very painful fisicaly and mentally I am going through that my symptoms start one year a go and I feel so sad tired and very depressed than you for helping us ❤❤

I am crying right there with her!!! I have felt a lot of those same things. It is a very lonely feeling. It just isn't talked about enough when you are in the early stages.

I have felt like this for a while and now find it hard to leave the house. I cried this morning because I felt overwhelmed needing to do the smallest tasks. I got rid of my care because I just can’t drive. I am 46

I would love to know if she and other women highlighted are on or have tried HRT? I love these stories, makes me feel like it’s not Just ME!!!! But it’s also a little discouraging if I’m being honest. I keep waiting for the good ending when they found HRT or some Kinds of herbs that helped at least a little. I’m only 45 and this roller coaster she speaks of has been ME since I turned 40. And HRT these past few months have ended the extreme irritability and anxiety on a chronic level. Thank god. That was the worst of it. But the swing right before and during my period…that’s still rough. Not anxiety, just way too sensitive, and low mood. I’m getting my testosterone looked at to see if adding that to the Estrodiol & Progesterone…can resolve the low mood, motivation, libido and shitty energy. I’m just in the beginning of the HRT journey…so still tweaking. But already just having the crippling anxiety, insecure and irrational fear looping gone…is worth it.

Thank you for being open and sharing about this struggle. It's ok to see that I'm not going crazy and I'm not all alone. Awareness helps.

I have never ever wanted to work in healthcare. Never wanted to be a doctor or nurse, but now, if I could start all over again I would have become a doctor for one reason only: to help women going through perimenopause and menopause. I am going through hell. I don't want this.

I have PCOS I went from not having periods and now having super heavy periods I'm 41 my mom passed away in January of this year and my periods are so heavy right now I stay in the shower and I found a couple packs of my mom's adult diapers in closet that's the only thing that seems to handle it I can't do anything I can't go anywhere grrr

Absolutely ! Same here ! None of a doctor wanted to help me till one did ! I got second life 😊

I am suffering terribly I’ve been to drs and all tests are clear I am literally planning a funeral for me because I can’t walk long distances the flashes are debilitating the palpitations send me to er dizziness is excessive

I went to VA. My Dr, would NOT help me at all. I found another Dr. That specializes in this. My other labs are perfect, I have NO estrogen or progesterone levels. Literally, so love, they were off the charts. Testosterone 13. This is refreshing. I'm looking so forward to starting. I'm tired even when I'm sleeping. No joke. Thank you!!

Get help. It’s out there. I felt like this and worse and it changes with proper HRT your MD will likely deny. We are in a revolution where women’s hormone changes no longer lead to death of body, mind, spirit…

I am 56 and i have a IUD and small fibroids. I have 2 periods a month. Heavy bleeding for 2 days with big clots. Not happy .wish it was over. This sucks.

56 yrs old in perimenopause. Sucks.i get two periods a month. I have multiple small fibroids. I have very heavy periods 2 days in a roll with clots. It has ruined my life. IUD doesn't help. Waiting for the day my period be gone

YES it's all perimenopause search the doctors here who are actively working on this for us. Mary Claire Haver

Thank you for sharing your story, I'm 48 and I've been in Perimenopaus for about+- 3 years. I have anxiety, chronic fatigue and joint pain in my knees and my hips and Pelvis. I've put on 17kg in 18 months. I have no energy at all to do simple things at home. I get tired easily and I just feel like I'm dying slowly 😢. And no one seems to understand the severity of what we as women go through during this time 😢

I’m here right now and panicked everyday

✨🙏🏽✨

This has been happening to me 46 to 48, I thought I was seriously ill, well I was and am but it is certainly caused by being in perimenopause ❤
