Period pants are a lifesaver!! Pads were irritating me so I moved on to m&s period pants and they’ve been fab! I’ve just bought a pair of Boody’s in their sale to see what they’re like too so 🤞🏻
My daughter uses the modibodi ones and they have been great and made her starting her periods so much easier - I wish I'd had them at her age. They also seem to do lots of sales by the amount of emails I get and I managed to get a few brand new pairs on vinted for a good price

I've had awful PMT for the past week or so like the worst period ever is coming - I'm bloated, exhausted, nauseous, away with the fairies and just generally meh. Which would be bad enough if a horrible period was coming but I don't have them anymore due to the mini pill so is this just how I feel forever now - I can barely keep my eyes open let alone give a tit about Christmas and the gazillion things I need to do. Just urgghhhh
It sounds like you're pregnant! Hopefully just similar symptoms to early pregnancy.
 
I've just been started on two pumps of gel, and then progesterone tablets every two weeks. I'm stressing myself out already worrying about cancer 🙈

Nutrition Geeks have a black Friday sale, with 35% off.

A poster recently said they'd just started the lions mane, and would report back. Any further improvement? I've tried to find the post to tag but failed!

Has anyone used their collagen powder?

I’ve not long started the menopause pack from the Nutrition Geeks but only been about 10 days so too soon, will report back in the new year

I’ve just posted about this in another thread, I have the menopause bundle and glow up pack, so collagen, biotin growth+, lions mane focus+, ashwagandha calm+ and magnesium glycinate 3 in 1. You get tumeric with the meno pack too but Im unable to take it. Everything else I really recommend though! I’m having a good night sleep with no leg troubles, no night sweats, my hair, skin & nails are glowing & growing and I really think it’s made a difference! I’m unsure on the lions mane for focus yet, as I thought it would help me not get in a muddle so much, but I’m extremely busy with work atm so it has it’s work cut out tbh! I feel better tackling my workload tho! It could all be a placebo effect, but for me, that placebo effect is worth the money! 😁

ETA - I’ve been taking it for almost 3 weeks

What were the leg troubles you were having?

I used lions and tbh didn’t find a difference. Someone further up mentions a tea they tried and said it helped with brain fog

Can I ask why you can't take turmeric? It was something I was considering too due to aches and pains.
The tumeric that comes in the pack is mixed with ginger and black pepper, I have a sensitivity to ginger, it gives me a rash on my legs. Annoying really as I have a friend who takes tumeric and it does wonders for her so I was hoping for the same

I've ordered more magnesium, and I am going to try the collagen. The brain fog I thought I was experiencing doesn't seem to be happening now, so I'm leaving the lions mane.

The collagen arrived, no one warned me it came in packets the size of a sack! I thought it would just be small like the magnesium :ROFLMAO:

Is a very dry mouth a symptom suffered by anyone else? In the summer heat, I could understand needing more water and a dry mouth but it's ongoing, especially at night. I drink approximately 6-8 large hi ball style glasses of water a day, around 2 1/2ltrs so, I'm sure I'm not dehydrated.

I have terrible thirst at night. I never woke up thirsty in the night until now. Then I’m up weeing! Ffs

I bought some electrolytes hydration stuff and that helped a bit.

This is a classic symptom of diabetes. I have type 2 and the thirst is off the scale

It's definitely not diabetes, this was checked for when I had my bloods done in August. It's one of the things they like to rule out before concluding it's menopause.

It's exactly this. It starts late evening but it's mainly I'm waking up in the night with a very dry mouth. But, then drinking water makes me wake more as I need another wee! I'd just got my sleep back on track but now I'm waking up in the night more again. I don't have night sweats and I'm not even hot in bed so, I can't even say it's that.

It's like I've been on a night out but without having had alcohol and I don't have kebab on my face :ROFLMAO:
