Might be worth trying a different brand to see if that helps.

My GP said that blood tests aren’t helpful and prescribed me HRT based on my age and symptoms being experienced. I hope you have a supportive GPCan anyone help with the blood tests and timing through cycle? Gunna get booked in this week as I can’t take the crushing anxiety, hot flushes and no sleep any more.
Have zero energy or motivation and I could easily stay in bed all day and lie in a trance. Sex drive has completely gone over the last 10 months. No interest what so ever.
Feel in panic mode or shattered all the time.
And my armpit BO is off the chart
Just feel such a different person, like I have no personality or that my personality is anger, tiredness or rejection
I had blood tests done just to rule out thyroid issues etc. but my GP said the same thing about the HRT being given based on age and symptoms, as she said hormones fluctuate so much during this time that looking at the bloods to rule peri in/out was pretty much useless.
It's definitely colder at night, but why did I put the thicker quilt on the bed? 
I usually do this when the clocks go back but don’t think it be going on this yearIt's definitely colder at night, but why did I put the thicker quilt on the bed?
as a permanently cold person having a higher body temp in peri is one of the only vaguely good things about it but of course it has to go far too much the other way at times!!!
I've just booked a physio appointment because without being over dramatic everything hurts. It started with my rib cage and now all my old dodgy joints have joined in. I've been to the GP who've not been wildly helpful so hoping tomorrow helps cos I feel quite miserable about it all - and I bet its bloody peri. Anyone else really achy/inflammed?

The blood tests are just a baseline is what my Doc says. Symptoms are the main thing. Write them all out before so you don’t forget.

). Best of luck it’s all such a lot to be dealing with.
Yes, my Dr said she would run a full blood screen to rule out any other possibilities, thyroid, diabetes etc. Once she'd had done that, she could be confident that given my age and symptoms it was peri.
It's just a never ending list of joy, isn't itSharing a peri issue I didn't realise was peri linked in case others are in the same boat - itchy bum
The Menopause Charity has a checklist where you can list symptoms and score them for impact. A useful tool when discussing with the Dr.Can anyone help with the blood tests and timing through cycle?

Omg I’ve just had all my body parts xrayed this week because I’m in agony daily with pain in my bones
Feet knees hips ribs etc had no idea that it could be peri related I am 46 and my feet have been bad for 3 years and my ribs for a year and a half!
🫣 I’ve been shoving pessarys up my bum for weeks because I was convinced I had internal haemorrhoidsSharing a peri issue I didn't realise was peri linked in case others are in the same boat - itchy bum
Do u know now you’ve said that it’s reminded me that someone said, and obviously because of peri I can’t remember who, that they went for a scan and the scanning person said I bet this finds nothing and it will be the menopause as we see so many ladies of your age here for scans and find nothing.Omg I’ve just had all my body parts xrayed this week because I’m in agony daily with pain in my bones

Have you had the results of the x ray? I’ve got a scan in a month so will be interesting what it shows
I had a scan back in July, some scarring which is quite normal apparently if had children. Referred back to the GP. They had already referred me to gynaecology so he won't prescribe me anything until I've been seem by them due to the irregular bleeding. Currently day 35, I spot, start, stop and then started again (on what should have been my cycle).
Apart from brain fog (adhd meds aren't working as well as they used to do) it's my periods causing me the biggest issue, I'm happy with no HRT at the moment, but what feels like constant bleeding is making me miserable.
I highly recommend magnesium taken an hour before bed. I'm currently doing a cortisol reset hoping that will help. And the wool duvets that were recommended here- absolute bliss!
But why is everything so hard!!!
I've managed to get a GP appt in a few weeks, as I'm so fed up and tranexamic acid isn't working

Not yet will check back in when they inevitably tell me I’ve got nothing wrong with me
🫣 fgs lolI’ve also had 2 CT scans recently so will be interesting to see if anything comes up.
I had no idea any of this could be peri related
Has anyone had a marina coil fitted during their period? Im having one fitted, so I can up my estrogen patches, but I have my period. Great timing.
Can anyone recommend what wool duvet to get
Glycolic acid for your armpit odour. It’s a game changer!Can anyone help with the blood tests and timing through cycle? Gunna get booked in this week as I can’t take the crushing anxiety, hot flushes and no sleep any more.
