I do but I wouldn’t wear undies to bed. That’ll make it even more sweaty

Is anyone struggling to lose weight? I’ve put a stone on since October, I’m trying really hard to lose weight, going walking 3/4 times a week, doing weights 2/3 times a week in the house, really trying to cut back and have even cut down on my wine, it’s really getting me down
I'm the same. I did slimming world for years and kept a steady weight and over the last year it's crept up and and up.
I'm three weeks into calorie and macro counting, plus regular weight training and swimming/spinning/walking. Trying not to focus on the scale but how my clothes fit and measurements.
I think the key is to track and stick with it as weight loss is slower for us perimeni babes.
Hugs.
Hurrah, I have found my people.
Is anyone else's brain absent presumed missing since this started?!

I have also had similar - where i go through the motions and then no bleed.
I was actually going to ask this!
I've been on HRT for nearly 3 months now and my physical symptoms have improved but my brain is still foggy and I'm no where near as mentally sharp as I used to be.
I'm kind of in mourning for the old me, as I feel like this is who I am now.
But I've no idea if the mental symptoms do improve eventually?
Yes, I can be mid sentence and forget what I’m talking about. It’s embarrassing.
My brain is working much better than it was 12 months ago. I couldn't remember words verbally and very simple spelling was horrendous
I've still not tried HRT, every time I get close, a particular worrying symptom will improve

I've been taking Lions Mane and its definitely helped with the brain fog and remembering words - I stopped taking it for a few weeks and really noticed the difference.
Also I've been taking collagen for 3 weeks now and its definitely helped with the itching

I’ve not taken HRT either. The one thing I don’t have, that many others do, is mood swings. Obviously I get moody now and again but that’s just day to day life and I don’t think it’s Peri related.My brain is working much better than it was 12 months ago.

I’m on the home straight now - approx 6 weeks to go and I’m a year clear. I don’t know what I’m expecting tbh. Other than the absence of periods, I’m still getting the headaches and itchiness and brain fog. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if at the year mark that all went too?

I’m not far off either and I daren’t even say it but I do feel like a lot of my symptoms have disappeared now
It’s funny how we are all so different, i’ve worked with people who never needed HRT, those younger that swear by it. My manager went on it post menopause as her symptoms got worse ( other things ruled out). I’m in early/mid peri, my older sisters ahead of me and on HRT as her moods/emotion’s were horrendous. My mums mental health nose dived in her 40s which now looking back was probably the start of her peri but it just wasn’t talked about.
I’m interested in HRT for long term bone health. I’m fit and healthy atm with good diet and exercise but that is a plus for me.

I hate to sound preachy but giving up alcohol (probably just as I entered perimenopause at 39) was the best thing I’ve done for my all round health. I’d highly recommend giving it a try, start with This Naked Mind by Annie Grace book/podcast/online courses.
Same with my mum, and seeing as she didn't have me until her 40s things were a bit tit
Yes! The first time it happened I thought I’d wet myself. It’s grim isn’t it.
It's terrible! I now have a waterproof mattress protector on my bed. I roll onto a dry patch and attempt to get back to sleep . It's so crazy.
Hi ladies!
How are we all looking after our skin? Mine is drier than the Sahara desert and is really starting to get me down. Huge thanks

I can only use the plain Dove shower gel but have found taking collagen has definitely helped with the itchingHi ladies!

My body is fine - it is more my face (esp around my eyes). No itching yet thank goodness.
I’ve just started lions mane this weekend so hoping it improves the brain fog
